In lands I never saw -- they say
Immortal Alps look down --
Whose bonnets touch the firmament --
Whose sandals touch the town --

Meek at whose everlasting feet
A myriad daisy play --
Which, Sir, are you and which am I
Upon an August day?

Emily Dickinson

Re: All-time

Hi,

Yes, such an expression exists:

It was his 16th win since the championship started and puts the three-time world champion top of the all-time winners' list.

Re: All-time

You should not capitalise any letter unless 'All-time' is being used at the start of the sentence.

All-time winner Joe Bloggs was defeated yesterday. (This might be a headline as it is not a very good sentence.)

Better might be:
The all-time winner Joe Bloggs was defeated yesterday.

Re: For geniuses only. :)

If you drive a car often or sometimes, actually it doesn't matter how many times. If you pay attention you will every time when you do that, see these numbers.
They have a fixed order.
1 ... 3 ... 5
2 ... 4 ...?
What should be in place of the question mark. Tip: 6 is wrong.

And the next question is: Do you know what it is?

The gear shift of the car

Re: Holidays

Quack! "Enter at your own risk"

Fed-up with tourists complaining about rural noise, the mayor of picturesque Saint-André-de-Valborgne, in the Gard in the south of France has installed clear notices warning that tourists are entering a 'French village'.

"Enter at your own risk," says the notice, before warning tourists to expect church bells to ring regularly, cockerels to crow, and that farm animals live close by, and farmers are wont to drive agricultural vehicles along the roads in the area.

Re: Misheard / Misread

This has to be the best one ever:-

During his tribute to the army, Trump said: “In June of 1775, the Continental Congress created a unified army out of the revolutionary forces encamped around Boston and New York … The Continental Army suffered a bitter winter of Valley Forge, found glory across the waters of the Delaware, and seized victory from Cornwallis of Yorktown.

“Our army manned the air, it rammed the ramparts, it took over the airports, it did everything it had to do, and at Fort McHenry, under the rockets’ red glare, it had nothing but victory.”
