Speaking of peccadilloes.....What one word telegram did Clive of India send to Queen Victoria when conquered the last Indian resistance?

Now I’ve got to know!

Peccavi.

Peccavi.

Haha!

You got it? Latin for "I have ...". Well done.
The Romans used nicknames a lot, usually based on some physical attribute. One guy that was not well liked was known as Sesquiculous - sesqui meaning one and a half , as in sesquicentenary - 150 year anniversary. So Sesquiculous was an 'arsehole and a half'.

Yep “I have sinned”

 

[colnerov]

Yep “I have sinned”

Or more accurately "I have Sindh".

It was Napier not Clive.

According to google!

i have been using a genuine ford oil filter, its small and has an effective non return valve, oil pressure comes up MUCH faster with it fitted, and engines that used to rattle on start up no longer do so. avaiable from Ford its expensive for a filter but i think well worth it.
