sneaky duck up to its tricks again

my German knowledge is pitiful but my understanding is German nouns can be “adjectivised” but the form changes - adding an “e” at the end? - whereas in English the word form is often unchanged e.g. “ersatz” in this case, or “management” (n) and “management style” (adj. but sometimes termed an adjectival noun or noun adjunct), “garden” (n) and “garden variety” and countless other examples …but sometimes in English the word form does change and becomes a different word (just to confuse English learners - native as well as non-native ) e.g. “rudder” (n) and “rudderless” (adj) This process in English happens through coinage (a neologism that in this instance describes itself i.e. the process of neologising… eeek! ) either by invention (e.g. Shakespeare) or stealing from another language (German in this case) and, if it is widely adopted, then becomes standard English Hope this helps

aborted take-off

Fifty one years ago, in a London studio, Shirley Bassey recorded Diamonds are Forever. She was 44. The peak of her singing career you’d think. Three weeks ago, on 13 March at the BAFTAs, Dame Shirley sang the exact same song. Aged 85. That’s the kind of age when most singers, their careers decades behind them, are probably playing bingo in a maximum security retirement home Yet she delivered a knockout performance. Live. But was it as good as 51 years ago? Luckily there’s a devoted Youtuber who’s done the hours of audio analysis to answer that question. Turns out Dame Shirley’s voice, although a tone lower, is just as good now as it was then. It’s the vocal equivalent of Usain Bolt still being able to break 10 seconds for the 100m in 2072

*tucks up the little bear* …really tight

yeah, “protecting” but you shoulda checked the small print ‘cos according to Ferret Property Laws “it’s mine” = it’s theirs not yours

John Charles Walsham Reith, 1889-1971 (from 1940 1st Baron Reith of Stonehaven) The previous post was about John Logie Baird, the pioneer of television. This is about “the other John” in Baird’s story, John Reith, who hated the very idea of television and was no supporter of Baird’s efforts. 2022 is the centenary of the BBC (incorporated 18 October 1922). Many (most?) think Reith created the BBC. He didn’t. Or did he? The BBC was actually set up as a commercial business by a consortium of six companies (five British engineering and telecommunication companies and one American company, Western Electric) who then advertised a vacancy for Managing Director. Reith applied for and got the job in December 1922. Reith was a “big” man both physically (6’6” tall) and in his forceful personality (domineering, intimidating, scary ) and he imprinted his views, beliefs and values into the DNA of the BBC to such a degree that he created what it was to become for the next 50 odd years, arguably until his death in 1971. But was John Reith always intimidating and scary? No. For ten years from 1912, throughout WWI and until 1922 (a few months before he got the BBC job), Reith had a passionate, emotional and physical love for Charlie Bowser, a 15 year old boy who lived nearby when Reith (then aged 22) first met him in Glasgow. After the war ended Reith and Charlie moved into a house and lived together and Reith records in his diary that they sometimes slept in the same bed . Then a curious ménage à trois developed after Reith met Muriel Oldhams, continuing after Reith’s marriage to Muriel in 1921. Less than a year later in 1922, when Charlie married Maysie Henderson (Reith had actually introduced them and encouraged the match) Reith was devastated to receive a letter from Charlie ending their relationship (probably egged on by a resentful Maysie). It seems Reith never got over his lost love for Charlie. Every year, for the rest of his life, he recorded Charlie’s birthday in his personal diary. There’s obviously a lot more to the man’s story than this, but these aspects of his life are probably not well known. A more detailed account of Reith’s love affair with Charlie is described in the following two BBC webpages (in date order): https://www.bbc.com/historyofthebbc/research/john-reith/reith-in-love/ https://www.bbc.com/historyofthebbc/research/john-reith/back-in-britain/
