Dave_Og Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Still Latin but back to a football context. Some years ago I wrote a film script called 'Home Banker' about a group of exiled Northern football supporters on a mission to save their home town club from bankruptcy; yes, I know, it's a mystery... The club's motto was 'Mustn't Grumble' which I wanted in Latin so I contacted my old boss who post early retirement became a language professor at Oxford. he speaks twenty languages, is the country's leading authority on Old Norse and holds dinner parties in Latin and Ancient Greek. Didn't take him long to come up with Nunc Est Querundum so that was on the club badge in the film. Had some really good feedback from a friend's brother who has won a Golden Globe for directing so it seemed nailed on that fame and fortune was waiting close by. Sadly never got made; to my dying breath I'll be convinced that it was a lot better than some of the stuff that does appear on screen. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I recognise the gerund there (from Queror, Queri = to complain) but I think that translates as "Now one must grumble" - you need a negative in there! Maybe Non Est Querundum?

Whoever we tried to get to read it wasn't remotely interested unless we had money or a track record. I do know that you've no chance unless it's in the right format.

Dave_Og Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Interesting to hear that Lee Grant is the specialist strikers' coach at Ipswich, and given they've scored 99 league goals this season it looks like he's doing a decent job. I suppose a long career as a keeper gives a pretty good understanding of what strikers need to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
