You should never use standby on an elephant. It always crashes when you lift the ears. - Mark Wallace C/C++ (I dont see a huge difference between them, and the 'benefits' of C++ are questionable, who needs inheritance when you have copy and paste) - fat_boy

Pecadillo is Spanish - derived from Pecado.

I've been away for ages and to come back and find that your still doing your CCC, DD is most pleasing.

Some people are like slinky's... They're not really good for anything but they bring a smile to your face when pushed down the stairs

even so I am sure it is two c's peccadillo as in meaning a small sin.

OK so I've googled it and it seems both versions are acceptable!

Well Done! Points to you. Incidentally... General Sir Charles Napier took the (then) Indian territory of Sindh and confirmed this to the British Government in a telegram that read "Peccavi". Latin for 'I have Sinned'. Smartarse Latin Puns!

He should have been shot! But on the other hand:

General Sir Charles Napier wrote:

"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."
