Texas Joker Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Welke sprocht er? That is just on the edge of verstehen. I ran into this once before with Afrikaans so I looked him up. Danish, which is also a Germanic language. That is how you instill a desire to learn, by making it fun! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calamity Kris Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I don't think that kid could have smiled any bigger. Good on dad for having such fabulous quality time with him. I'll bet he's learning a valuable skill at the same time....... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watab kid Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 my first thought matched alpos , i guess t comes with age , the mad hatter was a thing in our younger years ......as was the playing with mercury - ive not had issues but then i wasnt exposed all that much - thermometers were not all that often broken in my neighborhood , but i still have a mercury switch n my electrical kit , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Creek,5759 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 That kid is very fortunate to have a father that cares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I'm assuming it's cultural, based on what you can see on the father. But I just found it shocking to see tattoos on that little boy's arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WOLFY Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 (edited) looks like the young feller is a righty AND left eye dominant Isn’t 10/6 the same as 5/3? A form of mercury was used to cure felt. Hatters could get mercury poisoning from inhaling it’s funes over the course of their careers. Edited January 9 by WOLFY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That 10/6 is the price, ten shilling sixpence, or half a guinea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 (edited) That never occurred to me. The few times that I saw pictures of the headerHATTER with that tag, I presumed it was a size. But instead of 6 7/8 or 7 1/2 it was 10/6, and the size tag was on the outside, because he was crazy. Edited January 10 by Alpo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
