Ever since you first posted that bit about the pallet chunk/balls interface I have been errrr.. concerned about the use of the word lait to describe said bit of pallet..

Just done a search of the word..

lait

Pollack \Pol"lack\, n. [Cf. G. & D. pollack, and Gael. pollag a little pool, a sort of fish.] (Zo["o]l.) (a) A marine gadoid food fish of Europe (Pollachius virens). Called also greenfish, greenling, lait, leet, lob, lythe, and whiting pollack. (b) The American pollock; the coalfish.


Source: Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary, ? 1996, 1998 MICRA, Inc.

However, LATHE:

Etymology: probably from Middle English lath supporting stand

or from various other sources:

14th century. Probably Old Danish lad "stand, framework, or middleage England, a frame to stand machinery on.


Soooo, is LAIT a local'ism of LATHE or is there another origin perchance ?

Dunno John but oop North a Lait is a straight bit of wood, and a lathe is summat for turning wood on (not in a sexual way)

 

[derek kelly]

OK if we are nit picking grammatically it should be aspersions not dispersions, but if John wants to exercise his rights as a human being, then who are we to contradict.

grammar? That was orthography I was nit picking on - I just found it funny to take the piss of misspelling of the word 'cognitive' which relate to knowledge and for once it's me taking the piss of other people's use of the English language, usually it's the other way around!!!man8um

Now about the topic. Not meaning to be patronising here: fact: medical knowledge is highly specialised and and most people have only a very limited knowledge of the body and how it can be hurt.
How, for instance, landing with your unprotected spine on the curb even at slow speed will quite likely put you in a wheelchair (or a bed, or a coffin) for the rest of your life... Or, without being that dramatic, how your arm will quite likely become a useless piece of meat if you land on your shoulder without protection at 30mph. That means no more riding a bike, but you might like the idea of a trike...
We can all agree that a choice can only be made when being aware of the different options, those are few of the options on which you can base your choice.
Question to those who don't wear protection: do you expect others to pay the bill for fixing you or would you accept to sell your house in order to pay for your medical bills? I like open debates w;;v

Neither is deep vein thrombosis ( sp ? ) and all the other things that kill in unpleasent ways..

Somethings are however more avoidable than others

it was not a t-shirt but i vest!!!!!!


live and let live, but a fly feckin hurts on bare skin at a ton. the engine heat would go straight onto his skin making him feel hotter.


My opinion is just as useless as yours so dont shout mine down, cause you are only shouting down yer own.
