Trying at least, I've no idea what kendum is doing on the end of admin but I know surgamus admin is not a good idea

@W1ggz how many newts did you find in the end? All newt species are protected so it's pretty cool that you have some.

I've found a few now and there was a few larger ones I spotted swimming in the pond. Problem is this is in the house we moved into a few months back and it's right in the middle of the garden and we want to move it and fill it in.

I think they're only protected as far as killing/capturing so you can bin their habitat

shame though. If you care enough I suppose you could move them elsewhere but tbh they'll probably be fine if there's somewhere damp they can retreat to.

If you have tadpoles you can tell the difference between newts and frogs/toads as newts develop front legs first, frogs/toads back legs first.

Nope, the protection includes their habitats I think?
They can cause massive delays to construction work, because you have to fence off their habitat by friendly means so they move (naturally) over the course of a season to a new place, before you can start clearance works.

If you made a new pond nearby (and one that was even more attractive to them because of whatever plants etc were in it) before you filled in the new one they'd have a chance to migrate across? Or you could catch and move them to it yourself too, of course?

Only Great Crested newts are habitat protected. These are (thought to be) Smooth newts.

Was planning on cleaning the car today after work but it's raining.

Just going to give the interior a quick clean and that's it. No point washing it now as it will raining all day tomorrow.

Made some cakes now for the club.

One cake = one rep point.

so what have you translated it as

Post by **Donald** » Fri May 09, 2014 6:45 pm

Well surgo is rise up/get up.

You wish/request to do something now as opposed to in the future or past, so use the present subjunctive.

Surgo - drop the o for magic word transformation.
Surg - add a because it is subjunctive.
Surga - add mus because it is first person.

Surgamus - let us get.

I don't know kendum, dunno if you actually meant centum but I'm not really sure where it would go and there's not 100 admins.

Only so far I can get with this

Still it's a bit easier than Greek, can't get to grips with the alphabet

I only know the ones we use in chemistry.
