Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

That reminds me.

When clearing the table in olden days, things would be put to one side. It was called siding the table.

The things sided were put on a board by the wall to keep them out of the way. This board later had shelves and doors and drawers added, but still served the same purpose as storing the stuff sided to leave the table clear for other usages.

Thus was invented the side-board.

Viking ships had a gert big oar near the blunt end on the right hand side. This was known as the steer-board, which is how that side of the ship was eventually named, starboard.

Is it pub trivia night yet?

Some boots are made for walking, and that just what they'll do.

En effet,ma belle dame d'amour!

Indeed,I can still,even after so many incident-packed years,recall grammar school and my very first time of being hopelessly enchanted by the wonder of the devine feminine glory of a girl who was in my class,yet way above my class. Ah,NEVER will I forget the delicious wonder of Donna Kebab....
