I have a Latin O Level. Are you sure you don't want to hear about when Caesar the ditch with many soldiers attacked?

What were the family members' names in the Cambridge textbooks?

There was Grumio, Primus, Secundus... I don't remember the mother and the father's name. Then there was the slave girl. Mater non delectat.

― ModJ, Monday, 18 August 2003 01:14 (twenty-two years ago)

I was Grumio in Latin class. The teacher still called me Grumio when I had him for English class, and everyone else was confused.

― A Nairn (moretap), Monday, 18 August 2003 01:22 (twenty-two years ago)

But that was a while ago and I wouldn't remember how to translate much

― A Nairn (moretap), Monday, 18 August 2003 01:23 (twenty-two years ago)

caecilius was the father, matella was the mother. quintus was the son, and there was that girl poppea that grumio was rutting with. thats as much as i remember. they all died didnt they?

― Bob Shaw (Bob Shaw), Monday, 18 August 2003 07:10 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah it was sad. then there was the next one where the dad was a slave beating nutcase, his name was something with s. Salvius?

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 18 August 2003 07:25 (twenty-two years ago)

ah yes. and that was set in ancient england rather than pompeii. i dont think i ever made it to the third book.

― Bob Shaw (Bob Shaw), Monday, 18 August 2003 07:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Seriously, though.

Mira lo que se avecina a la vuelta de la esquina viene Diego rumbeando con la luna en las pupilas y su traje agua marina va después de contrabando y donde mas no cabe un alma y se mete a darse caña. Poseído por el ritmo ragatanga y el dj que lo conoce toca el himno de las 12 para Diego la canción más deseada y la baila! Y la goza! Y la canta!

Seriously though this is an interesting challenge. I'm sorry I can't help you - or can I...?

"Per omnes [words] tristas linguae stylique..." nah, sorry, I was crap at Latin when I gave it up at 14 :(

"Per omnes [words] (lingum -us, -a) tristas linguae stylique..."

― ModJ, Monday, 18 August 2003 16:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh well. Wasn't paying attention...
