Early C20th Egyptologists were much hampered in their excavations by the large quantities of bat-droppings that had accumulated in the tombs.

Früh wurden C20th-Ägyptologen in ihren Ausgrabungen durch die großen Mengen von Fledermaus-Exkrementen sehr behindert, die in den Grabstätten angewachsen hatten.
Hmm. That's not as bad as I hoped it might be.

Fledermaus-Exkrementen
Fledermauskot - I particularly remembered that! (I was going to translate it as "batsh*t", but didn't like to lower the tone around here  |

"How many of you, I wonder, as you toy with a dry martini at the bar, have thought of the romance that lies behind the simple stuffed olive, or have witnessed, as I have, the almost unbearable drama of a corrida d'olivas, or festival of olive stuffing."

Just been to the gym and there's a new machine! I only used it for an hour as I started to feel sick but it's very good! It's got Kitkats, Mars bars, Mini Cheddars - crisps - everything!

Wit from the kiddo... Anyway, wouldn't you prefer a lightly constructed gender to a heavily gendered construct? Best, Alistair |

That's all very well but I don't think anyone can really say they've understood Albéniz's Iberia until they've heard it performed on a consort of crumhorns. The acoustic splendour alone of the result pushes all considerations of historical appropriateness aside.  |

No, I don't want to know the address of that gym, thanks. Anyway, as someone almost observed before here, you can't get fitter than a Kwik-Fit fitter (regardless of which gym you attend)... Best, Alistair |

The acoustic splendour alone of the result pushes all considerations of historical appropriateness aside. If one may indeed presume that you have actually heard that magnificent work performed by such an ensemble, can you please enlighted us as to the identities of the performers and whether there is a recording thereof? Give me a consort of contrabass clarinets any day! Anyway, do you suppose that, when Richard Strauss declared that the best day of his life had been that upon which he conducted his first Tristan, his darling Pauline was within earshot?
