David -the last trump shall sound!!! -----Original Message----- From: David Bircumshaw Sent: Friday, April 1, 2016 6:18 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: pat snap 732? _-*-__-*-__-*-__-*-__-*-__-*-__-*-_ Actually on that does 'trump' have the same common alter meaning in US English as it does in British? I just notice that the register of the candidate being called Donald Fart has hardly lit a flicker over here. Oddly the associations with 'The Last Trump' haven't reverberated either - I would have thought the Fart of Armageddon would get up everybody's noses :) On 31 March 2016 at 09:07, Patrick McManus <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Maybe we can retrieve the words eventually Patrick. > > Douglas well at my age I am not too optimistic :-) > > -----Original Message----- From: Douglas Barbour > Sent: Wednesday, March 30, 2016 4:19 PM > > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: Re: pat snap 732? _-*-__-*-__-*-__-*-__-*-__-*-__-*-_ > > Ah, the current scene.
