Kolo Toure swapped shirts with West Ham's Henri Camara on Saturday - and then promptly threw it to the Arsenal fans in the away section. (Daily Mirror)

a-per-pro nothing at all, it just amused me !!

"apropos of"?

"apropos" = of an appropriate or pertinent nature

Hanging my head in shame !! I've obviously got that one wrong for years.



Still funny though.

In your defence, Bobo, that's how Sheryl Crow sings it!

Aye ... & you tell the youngsters of today that & they'll never believe you !

"desiderat ad fontes aquarum" they don't know they're born

Signum Fidei here....I was that bad at Latin that I had to look it up

Is that something about fish wanting to swim in a font ?

Festinabimus!

Actually, I seem to recall our school moto as being something along the lines of Lustrave Universa, or somesuch.

Seriously? "...thirsts for running water" according to the school hymn.

Humorously? Yes.

"desiting fountains of water" in more common parlance. Mine was Molire Molendo which I think meant grind by grinding, something to which I have always aspired.

accipe lumen atque imperti

Ora et labora

Forty years on, when afar and asunder
Parted are those who are singing today,
When you look back and forgetfully wonder
What you were like in your work and your play.
Then it may be that there will often come o’er you
Glimpses of notes like the catch of a song,
Visions of boyhood shall float them before you,
Echoes of dreamland shall bear them along.

Chorus:
Follow up! Follow up! Follow up!
Follow up! Follow up!

Till the field ring again and again
With the tramp of the twenty-two men
Solo: Follow up! Chorus: Follow up!

Forty years on, growing older and older,
Shorter in wind as in memory long,
Feeble of foot and rheumatic of shoulder,
What will it help you that once you were strong?
God gave us bases to guard or beleaguer,
Games to play out, whether earnest or fun!
Fights for the fearless and goals for the eager,
Twenty and thirty and forty years on!

Chorus

Ah Caps, the Old Standian! You didn't mention:

Gaudeamus igitur ) bis
Juvenes dum sumus )
Post jucundam juventutem
Post molestam senectutem
Nos habebit humus bis

Vita nostra brevis est ) bis
Brevi finietur )
Venit mors velociter
Rapit nos atrociter
Nemini parcetur bis

Vivat Academia ) bis
Vivant Professores )
Vivat membrum quodlibet
Vivat membra quaelibet
Semper sint in flore! bis

And Edmond Purdom mimes it all to Mario Lanza's voice.

and school "hymn"...

Jerusalem
And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
On England's pleasant pastures seen?

And did the Countenance Divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among these dark Satanic Mills?

Bring me my Bow of burning gold:
Bring me my Arrows of desire:
Bring me my Spear: O clouds unfold?
Bring me my Chariot of fire.

I will not cease from Mental Fight,
Nor shall my Sword sleep in my hand
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England's green & pleasant Land.
