Ooh, Umberto Eco; hasn't he done some great stuff.

[autocoupler]

But just think Auto, you could become the keeper of the ancient secret texts, just like in Name Of The Rose :give_rose: ..... how are you with Sean Connery impersonations? (Remember not to link your finger when turning the pages :laugh2: ).

Edit ..... that was meant to say lick your finger, but I guess we all knew that eh!

:scratch_one-s_head: Some code talk going on here but thanks for your support Gents :angel: and no uni, I'm definitely not licking my finger, there are some pages missing so it's fair to say we all know why there's a nail hole at top centre of mag. :stinker::laugh2::laugh2:

:laugh2: .... Nah Auto, no code, just the usual sidetracked comments.

The "Name Of The Rose" was a movie based on a novel by Umberto Eco.

It starred Sean Connery as a Friar who was sent to discover why monks keep ending up dead in a 1300's Italian monastery.

Spoiler alert:

It ended up that one of the "keepers of the ancient texts" poisoned the corners of the pages, thus when monks licked their fingers ...... bye bye monk.

Thought my Renniks tasted funny.! :shok:

Thanks for that uni :good: hadn't seen the movie or read the book. Actually, the only thing I read besides CAB is the newspaper, no wonder my head's a mess :blink: :laugh2:

Probably not the one I'm thinking of, as Elizabeth is 2 blocks back from Adelaide and I never went to Elizabeth St back then.

oh? was that more the west end part of the city back then?? hummm???

Brissie's inner city was laid out a bit like a graph. All the streets are basically named after Royalty and the feminine all run parallel to each other, with the masculine ones also parallel to each other, but at 180° to the feminine.

Back then, there were not many shops in Elizabeth St.

[JeffH]

Maybe you mean at 90º (right angles).
