No Suey!

Crighton already said he was the only one!! ::) ::)
More than likely you'll never find another one like him - except there was a Mr Arse enumerated I believe - shame he didn't live in Hole Lane Chicago ::) ::)

A Boy Two Days Old  Leach   abt 1881   Cirencester, Gloucestershire, England

D'you think Old Leach should have been his occupation  :P  (oh no! wrong spelling!)

There is a Percilla Arse in the 1871 England Census (Inmate in a workhouse) and an M.D. Arse (a Baker from Germany) in 1881 so it seems there are Arses of both sexes here  ;)

Suey

I found the definition of "Harse" - but I had to have it translated - looks like it needs to be translated again! ::)

Harse

Harse is officially a friedliebender Tunichtgut, which lives on the ererbten money of its parents. This is used up actually for years and it already works as a master thief both on own calculation and on order. It is member of the Diebesgilde. Harse does not have a Robin Hood mentality and robs (and naturally because it is not worthwhile itself)"small people" out. It gives away a part of its booty to distressed ones.


ooheeooh!!!!

"Fridliebend" means peace-loving and a "Tunichtgut" is a scamp/n'er do well.  It looks like our German baker from 1881 dropped the H thinking that it would make his name sound less bad  :o

Best I can remember from my pre 'O' - level days is

Wie komme ich am besten nach die strassenbahnhaltestelle bitte?

It was always a source of amusement to me that the Germans took 23 letters to say the word 'tramstop'. 

I always imagined the tram would have been well departed by the time I ever got the words out.

Hey Al - did you have textbooks about a German family whose father was a banker, and who had a dog called Lumpi? :)

cheers

Paul
