That is a cracker of a word
*Feels fick and leaves fred* 
fickiemus
Assinus sum? (Wild guess there) 
*Feels fick and leaves fred*
Velvet. If you read this in the morning/later you should be very proud. You made all sorts of mad neurones fire off so it ended up with Latin and the Catholic creed, via many side-turns.
I am one of the experimented kids who was taught Latin 'as a foreign language', whereby teaching grammar was decidedly unfashionable. So I remember 'Caecilus est pater, Matella est mater, Cerberus est canis' etc. Read Catullus' poems which could often be pretty scandalous!
I did manage to scrape an A-level out of it though.
Well done, Xochi.
Ta Yogi. It was no mean feat I tell ya! My Latin teacher was about 104 years old and clearly unsuited for teaching teenagers. She also tried to get me through Ancient Greek. I flunked that in style!
You got an A level in Latin 
Very impressed.
I did O level [ancient] Greek to please my Mum, cos she thought it was posh. [I wanted to do German]. It was difficult! I scraped a "c". There was one other girl in the class - she got a "b" and she was the teacher's daughter

Thanks Rosie. The thing is, I enjoyed learning French at school and the course offered in Latin was taught in a similar way so I put myself up for the A-level. The problem was trying to get a handle on the grammar without having been taught grammar in English! Hence my close scrape. Having said that, as part of the course we were also taught Roman political and social history and some of that stays with me to this day.

Flavia est puella ! was that Ecce Romani?
Probably. There was a son as well. He seemed a bit gay.
Clavdivs!
ohhh wait, it was Marcus and Cornelia I think .. feck, canny even remember my own name some days but I'm getting total recall of a school book! Help!
Nooo! Surely not. I'm sure I remember Flavia. Maybe she was the girl slave? 
Flavia was a neighbour.
Surely Flavia is Vincent's dance partner isn't she?

I love that word as well lol. I was also schooled at a Convent for 5 years. Mass was always in Latin and then it was changed to English, I didn't like the changeover, just didn't feel authentic for some reason. Occasionally I hear hymns like Ave Maria e.g. and from somewhere comes the memory of it in Latin as I was taught it. I no longer attend the Church but memories of certain things are sometimes awakened.

Ooh bet that was fascinating Cosi I love documentaries about the Roman Empire and how advanced they were. We were muck savages around that time
Did anyone listen to the Caecilius tapes? Our poor teacher was the softest one in the entire school and couldn't keep control. The bad girls would do their replies in a really take the "p" voice. Girls sitting up on the desks and everything
Poor woman I woulda had them all in detention

What convent?
The Holy Sisters of The Immaculate Trinity.
Hi erin, missed you last night ^^

Order being the operative word 
I dinnae need a religion to have faith.
It's divisive
You think god would be happy with the Catholic church and it's pedestal, wealth and double standards?
Do you think the pope's god's representative on earth?
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female, you are all one before Christ.
Galatians 3.28.
I'm probably going to hell btw but I hope not.
I love you to bits erin but you've gotta question it
That god gives special privileges to one individual?
With his own bank.
