Is this the biggest thread, like - in the world??

And will there be a prize at the end?

Terrifying me.

Day 14 Private Sale Thread
20.17
Its Phil's 21st Birthday and he is celebrating by drinking an extra large brandy and opening his cards.
Jenni is watching Mastermind.
Ally is in the dinning room talking to Chris about Paddington Bear's smelly feet and terrible habit of talking absolute rubbish.

Jenni is wondering if her words will have an adverse effect when googling Paddington Bear

I think somebody ought to explain to Edward why the Crime Museum documents aren't fakes first.

Otherwise, that doubt will always be there, somewhere...

I'm thinking of asking Paddington to break the news. Kinder that way.

didn't that already happen?

You are wrong on both counts. I donīt interpret Daviesīwords as though Swanson had PD. I take his words exactly for what they state (at least to my mind): That the text showed signs of a shakiness that was similar to that of PD patients (or patients with closely related diseases within the same group).

Davies may well have thought: Nah, thatīs not a PD patientīs writing - but it is similar. So I donīt jump to any conclusions at all - I go by what Davies said, no more, no less.

As for the similarity thing and it not meaning "exactly the same", we may all need to ponder the fact that unless Swanson wrote the exact same wording as Davies had seen before and in the exact same manner, there could never be any exact copying.

Davies would never have meant "exactly like". But you may well see a tyoe of handwriting that resembles another type of handwriting so much as to cause you to say "Look! That looks exactly like the handwriting I saw yesterday, in that book!"

Of couse, it is not an exact replica anyway. But colloquially, this is how we express ourselves.

But I can do a Bart Simpson if that is what you wish!

Similar does not mean exactly the same.

There! Happy, Denny?

No Fishman, I'm not happy and if you give me a few hours I'll explain exactly why your rude and sarcastic bluster, does not cut the muster

best wishes
