Dear Frank, thanks for the note. More in my Talk Page. Das Baz, aka Erudil 15:43, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
Yup, "Cor love a duck" must be Cockney for "Lord love a Duck." Perhaps a case of Cockney "rhyming slang" (such as "raspberry tart" for "fart" - this is the reason why a "lip fart" is called a "raspberry" - even among Murkins who don't know Cockney). Hmm. I wonder what rhymes with "duck"? "Cor blimey" probably means "Lord blame me."
A school kid was asked to use these words in sentences: Defeat, deduct, defense, detail, denial. He wrote: "Defeat of the deduct go over defense into denial before detail."
Never heard about Nate West before. Please tell me a bit more about him. Wikipedia page on him says he was a perp of Identity Theft. Das Baz, aka Erudil 16:43, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
Luckily, the trouble & strife is up the apples & pears, so I can tell you more about West. I thought this Jewish-American author might interest you, for he's a proto-post modernist (to coin an absurd phrase) who was heavily influenced by both highbrow European literature and the comics of his day. I'll send you my thesis by attachment if you're interested - free of charge, of course! After all, you showed me Tintin's Rossetti's Stone... I added sth about the origin of Tintin's peculiar name to the English site, incidentally. Cheers for now, Frank Landsman ( talk) 16:21, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
Yes, if it's not too much trouble, please send the info. Thanks. Das Baz, aka Erudil 15:18, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

hi there. Thanks for your edits to Indonesia pages. One small thing: please write "Indonesian" rather than "bahasa indonesia" as the latter is, well, the Indonesian term, when this is the English wikipedia. Ie, it's the same as German vs Deutsch. Cheers. -- Merbabu ( talk) 22:53, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
