This reminds me of when I took my ex to Lincoln Cathedral and she wandered around translating it. That was quite attractive.

I wonder if Lincoln council have banned latin, given that Lincoln is Lindum Colonia, or Hill Town. Then there's Lindum Hill, in Lincoln (Or Hill Hill, in Hill Town). You know, I doubt they could ban latin, really. Drive five miles out of town in any direction and pass a base with 'per ardua ad astra' across the signage!

"Cathedral. Cathedral cathedral, cathedral. Cathedral cathedral cathedral cathedral, cathedral cathedral? Cathedral."

Fun times.

Gaudete! gaudete! Christus est natus ex Maria Virgine: Gaudete!

Tempus adest gratiae, Hoc quod optabamus;
Carmina laeticiae Devote redamus.

Gaudete! gaudete! Christus est natus ex Maria Virgine: Gaudete!

Deus homo factus est, Natura mirante;
Mundus renovatus est, A Christo regnante.

Gaudete! gaudete! Christus est natus ex Maria Virgine: Gaudete!

Ezechiellis porta Clausa pertransitur;
Unde lux est orta, Salus invenitur.

Gaudete! gaudete! Christus est natus ex Maria Virgine: Gaudete!

Ergo nostra concito Psallat iam in lustro;
Benedicat Domino: Salus Regi nostro.

Gaudete! gaudete! Christus est natus ex Maria Virgine: Gaudete!

You missed a note there, mate. Painful.

"If you get near a tune, sing it!"

And is hastily withdrawn a week later as scores of players off themselves while singing Miserere.

"miserere nobis" was a phrase in one of the bits of Carmina Burana that I could never sing without laughing.

A number of local councils in Britain have banned their staff from using irritating office jargon, because they say they might annoy people.

Several local authorities have ruled that phrases like "vice versa", "pro rata", and even "via" should not be used, in speech or in writing.

Quote:

Other local councils have banned "QED" and "ad hoc", while other typical twattish terms include "leverage", "ad lib" and "deliverables".

Given that the piece is about students getting drunk, gambling, and fornicating, I think that's pretty tame.
