What do you "assign" to the Shire? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

The seaside.

Not just the sea, the waves crashing up on the rocks or rolling in across the strand, though this is the main attraction. It's also the salt in the air so your hair gets tangled and you can taste it all the time. Gulls screaming their heads off. The smell of chips and fish everywhere, and then eating it out of newspaper in the open air. Fresh shellfish, sold in the pubs, and in little white trays from stalls by the harbour. Boats everywhere - fishing boats, old lifeboats, yachts, tall ships. 100 different flavours of ice cream. Deckchairs with stripey cloth and bleached wood and bright beach huts in neat rows. Shops selling buckets, spades and pirate flags. Folk singers in the pub. Clean air and bright light. Looking up the tide tables and listening to the shipping forecast. Seal watching. Wondering what lies just over the horizon.

What's more, we're going. Tomorrow!

The flaw in that equation, Oddy, is that Girls require time AND money. This would means

Girls = Time + Money,

not

Girls = Time x Money as stated.

Which really ruins the rest of the equation.

My brother brought this up. See, girls don't just require one lump sum of money, they need it frequently to purchase books and musical instruments and clothing and pay their library fines (at least in my case, clothing is probably the most infrequent way I spend money). So you see, the longer the period of time you spend around her, the more money she will require.

I think that might've made sense, but I'm not so sure.

I assign the good kind of cops, that are not out to screw you, but to teach you a lesson that you will never forget. Suffice to say, I won't be speeding any time soon.

Buildin' dams.

A new work schedule that starts at nine instead of seven. Yay for sleeping in!

That's about it for now.

The following question in my Italian reading exam:

What compliment is paid to the service offered by Turin?

I grinned and added an acute accent. I resisted, however, the temptation to write "Well, it's said to be pretty reliable if you need to kill Orcs."
