It's 2 and a half miles away. Time I walked it would be time for me to come home again. Chaucer is still in olde English, with good olde Chanutecleer. 'His coomb was redder than the fyn coral, And batiled as it were a castel wal; His byle was blak, and as the jeet it shoon; Lyk asure were his leggs and his toon; His nayles witter than the lylye flour, And lyk the burned gold was his colour' |

Yeah but Fred they say that too. I chose to be there. They can chuck me out anytime. I'm not getting paid for it. And anyway, I set off 30 mins before start of the lesson. |

Oh! I did The Nun's Priest's Tale for O Level - doubt I could make head nor tail of old English now - or has yours been 'translated' ? Chaucer was born in the 1300's - so I would make a guess at ...erm...14th century LOL Mags x P.S Don't your legs work then? |
