Why is "W" pronounced "double u" as opposed to the way it looks "double v"? Granted, in French "V" is "vay" & "W" is "dooble-vay," but why isn't that the case in English?

Not that I would want to stop Miss H answering questions in her own thread, BUT...
I think it may have to do with the fact the the letter V in the Roman alphabet was used in place of a U, which did not actually exist as such. This is just a guess, but seems reasonable to me.:dunno:

So what qualifications are needed to work at your manor?


I have missed you while my compouter was in kahoots :crash:

The qualifications required are varied. A good knowledge of films ans a dodgy compouter are the usual, can you tart straight away?

Duck caliber can be anything 12, 20, 28

Shot size is more critical..5 or 6

Trap or skeet is purely a type of gun .

Having said that trap would be suitable unless shooting duck in a pen or box and then you may as well go with skeet.

Choice of gun Belgian made Browning, Black duck special 12 Gauge and Browning classic 20 Gauge.

I shoot targets now and feed ducks

A question and a riddle:

The question:

Why haven't they invented clothes that wash themselves as yet!?!? Sounds like a multi-trillion dollar invention if you ask me! Ha ha ha! If you will remember, "back in" '78....6978 that is, you and I came up with the idea, but sadly nothing ever came of it! Ha ha ha!


Now the riddle:

What do Disney & Kellogg's have in common?

This pic is such a gem, I love your expression as you're ejecting those two spent casings! . . . and those long lovely nails below that big long barrel! :bowdown::lovecoupl

I am thinking " I hope I can find them to reload"

To some, this might seem like a dumb question...but, as they say, the only dumb question is the one that goes unasked!

Soooooo, though I should "probably" know by now, what does "VVHHH" stand for exactly?

Like the punk said to Dirty Harry in the eponymously named motion picture "Dirty Harry," "I gotsta know"! Ha ha ha!
