I am a 'veteran' member but due to the nature of the thread I decided it was best to remain anonymous so as to avoid ridicule and being called a soppy git!

OK, With valentines day fast approaching us I have been thinking on what to buy my uver half, and decided upon a very romantic thing - a star

Now, you can name the star but everything in english is terribly dull and boring, so I've decided to look to Romeo's homeland for inspiration and get her name translated into Latin

Have searched Google but it came up with nowt and I'm at a loss, would anyone be able to help with this one?!

Theres a pint in it for you

Hm. Names don't really "translate" into Latin as such. Why not name the star after her and attach some kind of romantic message in Latin instead?

Edited to add: Howzabout:

Semper Amemus (our love is forever)
Amor Vincit Omnia (love conquers all)
Virtutem Forma Decorat (virtue adorns beauty)

Sigh. Nice to see romance isn't dead yet!

Right, now that that is sorted time to remove the evidence, Ernest, you couldn't edit you post could you, lots of strategically placed '*'s? Or better still, have

Cheers!

Edited to add, the post where I gave her name, I accidently deleted it, rather than editing it. Oops!

"Non Excretum Donat."


Or some such.....

Found a couple a while ago that were a bit too similar to some of the others.. Can't remember which OTOH, but guess they can't all be as good..

Perhaps not the most amusing, but it does have its moments. Far more serious than some (all) of the others (It even has a plot ) still worth reading though IMHO.
