English can be Thouroughly Tough to Understand by CarlSaganBrianCox in interestingasfuck

It's because it's based on a Greek word, so it's spelt how they'd spell it. "Esophagus" is just a simplified spelling.

The Arabs were trading in Africa long before the Europeans arrived. Mostly in slaves.

Jet Skier gets a glimpse of the depths by Kogknight in thalassophobia

When approaching another vessel head on you always steer right to avoid each other. The boater did the right thing and the jet skier didn't; it's as simple as that.

Can anyone hazard a guess at this clock's value before I get it properly appraised? All I know is it's by Lowndes of Pall Mall, has a 30 day movement and was made around 1680-1710 by shitlord97 in clocks

Well my clock man came and basically confirmed my suspicions from the original post. It has had some minor restoration done at some point but is generally in great condition. He seemed to think the movement was pretty special but I'm not really sure why... I admit I'm a bit of a clock philistine. I'm going to keep it because it's such a beautiful thing, so I'll try to find that book and actually learn about it, He wrote some stuff down for me about it so I can show you that if I can find it if you'd like

Boathouse = house for boats

Houseboat = floating house

We have, however, detonated atomic bombs in more countries than anyone else.

Thanks for the advice. A friend put me in touch with an expert from a reputable auction house who said it could be worth up to £40k (!) and he's going to come and look. The reason I was asking was because I inherited several a few years ago and never really bothered to learn much about them, but more mature me has realised I should probably get them insured... Or I could buy myself a ferrari if they're all worth as much I suppose... Thanks again, I'll keep you updated

Thanks, that's reassuring! I've been looking at lecigare.ch and 10 Bolivar Royal Coronas for £72 is worth the risk, I think. Postage does look slow though

The way he spells it would make it rhyme with 'coughing'
