Now I am Knighted I am sorting out my coat of arms (see here).
I need a motto to go with it, preferably something in Latin.
I reckon something based on a phrase that my spoofer Sir Stephen Bubb has used 9 times in his blog since August would be appropriate.
So I might go for
"Narro bollox ut vox, sententia bollox ut verum"
Which as I am sure you good people with a clear grasp of Latin like what I have (being as I am educated in dead languages at Oxonia, rectus), know means:
"Saying bollocks to truth, speaking bollocks to power"
But if anyone wants to suggest a different one there may be a prize in it.
How about "Non semper dignitas exeunt" -I rarely make a dignified exit

ReplyDeleteCaput supra murum (or something like that) - head above the parapet
ReplyDelete"cave ne eas" is good, because it warns people about the dangers of leaving the house without an umbrella -- and it also sounds like "cauneas", whose leaves are necessary during times of savage cuts.
