^Celtic should have at least responded giving you a reason why they didn't make changes. I suspect they asked

one autistic person who doesn't have much light sensitivity and think we're all the same :twisted: .

Maybe. I think it's cos they don't want to change much cos it cost too much.
I told them to talk to NAS who are doing a lot for autistic football fans.
I contacted the disabled CSC and the woman who's the disability advocate.
Maybe I should take this higher up?

I have welders googles/glasses which shut out almost all light - these may help in some situations.

You can usually find a picture of what you want on the internet but I thought a dragon in a welders mask might be a tall order - I was wrong :lol:

I'm not surprised at what Temeraire came up with....

She’s a dragon who always carries around a toolbox.

I think Michael on Grease 2 says 'charade' wrong. The only times I've heard it rhymed with lemonade is when Americans say it on TV.

Americans seem to be even less comfortable with pronouncing French words than we are. Did you ever hear the way Shelley Winters pronounced chanteuse in the film Lolita? ("I'm a Shantooz"!).

I think more people over here tend to use American pronunciation than was the case two or three decades ago. You hear 'new' being pronounced 'noo' and so on fairly often these days.

What's that Latin phrase you used mean, Deep?

I tried to look it up---no dice!

You probably have as good a Latin imagination as Martin Luther did when he corresponded with Erasmus...

Hi Kraftie!

utinam illud verum esset = "I wish that were true" or "If only that were true".

I haven't had any serious acquaintance with Latin for well over 30 years....
