Colonel Hawthorne

I beg that you will inform me of the hour at which the locomotive is expected to reach its terminus.

Would you like a cup of tea while you're waiting?

Will Howard

Would you be pleased to receive a container of a hot herbal infusion as the train's arrival time approaches?

======================================================================

Would you like some pastry with your tea?

I wondered if it might not be seen as a gross impertinence if I were to take the liberty of enquiring whether, in addition to the beverage you currently possess (and seem to be enjoying), you wouldn't say no to the suggestion of being offered further sustenance in the form of something more solid and at the same time equally delicious, perhaps from the patisserie?

Yes please, I haven't eaten for days.

You are very good, sir; sustenance has not passed my lips for several rotations of the planet.

If it would not be too much trouble I would require another one of your fine small baked products.

May I present an image of one of the greatest beings in all creation.


Please forgive my modesty.

Do make allowances for my understatement of the magnificence of my existence upon this earthly plane.

No.

The answer to the question stated is negative in nature.

The studies of the various imponderables of the scientific world is quite difficult.

Brussels sprouts should all be forcibly deported to Belgium.
"I'm a Barbarian by choice, not ancestry..."

Colonel Hawthorne

It appears advisable to return blossoms developed on the stem of Brussels foliage to one of the Low Countries.

Is that a ten-gallon hat or are you just pleased to see me?

Is that perhaps a chapeau of the cowboy style apocryphally claimed to be able to hold eighty pints or is that rising curve a sign of your manly enthusiasm at setting eyes on my good self.

Friendly fire isn't.

Will Howard

Intent notwithstanding, ALL fire is hostile.

===============================

You must endeavour to proceed without fail.

I would be terribly, terribly nice if you could refrain from utter ruination. Forcing yourself, through some strange quirk of fate and courage, to succeed instead?

My milk shake brings all the boys to the yard. And their like, it's better than yours.

Colonel Hawthorne

The agitated lacteal secretions of the mammary glands of the female graminiverous bovine quadruped in my possession summon the entirety of the male children to the vacant land adjacent to my abode.  Furthermore, it is superior to that which belongs to you.

In my possession one will find a most beauteous conglomeration  of milk-bearing nuts from palm-like trees.

Vegetarians & vegans are deliberately depriving themselves of nutritious & tasty foods.  Is this not a form of Masochism?
"I'm a Barbarian by choice, not ancestry..."

Antonus Fudge

Otherwise correctly-minded ladies and gentlemen of society are eschewing, as it were, not meats nor animal produce of any manner; rather it is said around the tables and walkways of "the town proper" that they are devouring solely the flora, vegetations, &c., that such a beast might itself consume, as though their minds had been interchanged with that of the other, in the way of les expériences grotesques. This must surely leave their palate so pitifully un-nourished and dissatisfied in general terms that one wonders whether they are perhaps among the devotees of von Sacher-Masoch.

Render into clear language:  By what appellation should one address a gentleman who, for some reason, is wearing a digging implement instead of a suitable hat?

Green grow the rushes oh.

Can anybody tell me where the Blarney roses grow?

I wonder if someone amongst you might have information on the likeliest habitat wherein the blooms popularly known as Blarney Roses might flourish.

Daisy, daisy give me your answer do.

Ah!, Bellis Perennis, thou flower, bequeath unto me my response to that fated question that I have curled up at thee; I beg it, in the affirm or other!

Young male offenders, young male offenders; have you a back-up plan in case of pursuit?  Shall you be able to evade arrest?

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!  Even thou the sound of it is something quite atrocious!
"I'm a Barbarian by choice, not ancestry..."

walking stick

A word that contains in order the following meanings Spiffing, Islamic leader, jazz tune, myself, tilt, frozen water,sign meaning times in maths, The ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, noun singular, outdoor swimming pool,the acronym for confidential information, the mathematical sign for nothing and finally the group that we ourselves belong to.   Not withstanding the fact that it's very utterance is often appalling to the ear, the tongue and the intellect.

Practically perfect in every way.
