When a presbytery accepts a call to one of its clergy, that clergy is said to have been translated to the new pastoral charge.

I think this woman was drinking something a little stronger than Coke, or maybe mixing something stronger than cherries with it; she called a talk show to complain that deer-crossing signs should be relocated, as they encourage deer to croos the highway in heavy traffic!

Elderflower cordials and drinks are one of the English things I missed most when I lived abroad. Of course in my childhood you couldn't get elderflower pressé and such all over the place, as you can now. My mother went out and picked elderflowers and put the umbrella-like heads in a big bucket with (I think) lemon and sugar...left it for days, it began to ferment, bottled it, it fermented some more, and finally you had a wonderful non-alcoholic elderflower "champagne," naturally fizzy. Bliss. And recently there's been available an elderflower liqueur, St Germain, it's available in Waitrose. Super bliss.
At first I thought this thread was something to do with algebra and I steered clear. Now I know what it is...hooray!

The only time I ever had a pickled onion was when I happened to be in a fish-and-chip shop, in the back streets of some English city or other, on my way home after an evening in the pub. I ordered a portion of chips to take away, and then wavered between getting a saveloy or a pickled onion. Wrong decision.
On the other hand, the saveloy might have been the wrong decision too. You can only do what you think is right at the time.

I got a portion of chips when I went to a casino. I used up most of them in a slot machine. While I did not hit any big wins, I got enough small wins to keep the chips coming, which then allowed me to keep playing. It was a relatively harmless way to waste a few hours and it was fun watching the various symbols spin around on the machine.

True story: When I was in band in 7th grade, we were all startled right out of our seats when a cymbal, held by a young percussionist, broke its strap somehow and came crashing right down onto the floor. The amazing thing is that it happened at exactly the right moment in the piece.
