It's more Roman than Greek. The Greek mílion is based on the Roman mille passus.
Did you go to the University-of-Up-the-Road-a-Bit that likes to tell us its rather old, and not as a tourist?

I think "sucks" is the wrong word. Sure you do not mean "squirts"?

"That's not patronising, it's condescending. Here, let me explain the difference..."

No, not even as a tourist. The university I went to is not old at all (founded in 1811, I think). My cache of useless information is mostly from elsewhere, though.

You guys seem to be awfully fond of probing. But hey, whatever floats your boat.

Sorry to hear that Charlie. I was due for my 3 year probe last Nov., but have put it off.
Mrs Bob went through the same prep Sunday for her surgery, poor girl.

We got remarried this morning when I slipped her wedding band back on her finger and said "with this ring, I thee wed."
It had to be removed before her surgery.
She's doing as well as can be expected. I made her a biscuit, egg, cheese, and bacon McBob for breakfast.

The Grass Roots, didn't they do "If you want it, here it is, come and get it....". One of the earliest songs my old brain remembering my young ears liking.
The group was Badfinger.

Just read that Ryan Newman is walking about the ward in hospital, joking with the nurses and doctors, and hanging out with his wife and daughters.

And he just walked out of hospital with his daughters.

Good news!
