Ravenglass is a fabulous place. Did you go on the Ratty? My parents live a few miles down the road. If you go again next year, and want a beautiful converted barn nearby, not theirs, to stay in let me know 👍

Oi lass, how’s it hanging? 😂

Sorry to continue, but one of the articles on the website has the word undertheorized 😂 😂 Ivory Towers and all that

And describing oneself as “ distinguished” is ?? Ah well, takes all sorts. You enjoy wanking off about Japanese culture. About which, your self description suggests you know very little of 😉

is.so

Mark @markjnorris.bsky.social · Aug 6

What a very clever reply

Mark @markjnorris.bsky.social · Aug 5

How is it that none of the editorial team are Japanese and none work at Japanese universities or institutions? Do any even live in Japan?

Or should we try and get some funding together and make it happen for real? Would be fun and great 😊

Mark @markjnorris.bsky.social · Jul 31

You do, in my mind 👍

I don’t think the animals are confused at all and your ‘commentary’ is just a load of bollox. They are simply helping each other

It is fascinating and whilst too busy to look often I love etymology and this, not sure how rock solid it is, is interesting www.etymonline.com

Online Etymology Dictionary

The online etymology dictionary (etymonline) is the internet's go-to source for quick and reliable accounts of the origin and history of English words, phrases, and idioms.

I posted this cause I hadn’t known of the spelling Ballad but only Ballard

Mark @markjnorris.bsky.social · Jul 21

@liammcilvanney.bsky.social Ballard can refer to a surname or a type of song , poem. As a surname, it is of English origin and means "bald-headed man," deriving from Middle English. "Ballad," on the other hand, refers to a narrative poem or song, typically with a simple structure and telling a story

I am a Lancastrian and know nothing of the Scottish ballads, thank you for the insight and I will look into them more

It’s amazing. Born in Longton and grew up around there - beautiful place but a bugger to find work unless you wanted to farm, no to that from me 😂
