Harry,

Are you refering to...... Nemo mortalium omnibus horis sapit?

No Mortal is wise at all hours?

Ah'ha thats what it means, yes I was refering to Nemo mortalium omnibus horis sapit!
Its different to what I found, mutliple source's on the net say its "we know who we are".

So what your saying is, Neil knows everything about everyone, everywhere , all the time.

Gees, we all knew that all along. :eek:

Poor old Robbo aspires to that sort of insight, but the poor bugger has to check in here in person to see what we get up to. :D

:confused: For goodness sake please get it right.

'We' know who 'we' are was the title of an essay in 2002 by Edward Said about destructive jargon in the Middle East. It just so happened to be under the heading.... Nemo mortalium omnibus horis sapit which translates as No Mortal is wise at all hours.

Just goes to show how right my signature is. Talking about being "not very wise" a Google search foung 5,280 results for Nemo mortalium omnibus horis sapit and not one that I can find gives the translation as 'We' know who 'we' are. The translation (and there are a few) for the quote Nemo mortalium omnibus horis sapit is No mortal is wise at all hours - Mortals are not wise at all hours - No man is wise at all hours or the one I was originally taught some 40 odd years ago Most mortals are not wise at all times.

Geez :rolleyes: - Neil
Nemo mortalium omnibus horis sapit - Bloody oath mate.

Bit harsh isn't it??
Yeah probably but who gives a ......!!!

Tibi quoquum cum nodis.
Don't know 'quoquum' but it looks a bit like quoque so I'm guessing this means 'The same to you with knots on?' or is it 'with knobs on'

A Latin phrase that might be useful here:
"Nucleo predicus dispella conducticus." - (Remove foil before microwaving.)

And one that applies to our family pet (see user pic)
"Sharpei diem." - (Seize the wrinkled dog.)
