Was that the book/course with 'Caecilius est in tablino scribit' type stuff?

Can't remember that, but it had a British slave called Sextus (cue childish giggles).
Ah, different one then. I think the books I studied were 'the Cambridge Latin course' and the slave in them was called Clemens (which we unkindly used as a nickname for another student), there was also a slavegirl (ancilla) whose name escapes me. Metella, I think. And a cook called Grumio. The dog was of course called Cerberus.
Thus ends another thread with my name at the end of it. Strange that.
No,no Kenneth. Allow me to be the last one to post on this thread! 
I learnt Latin at school (for two years - I went to a comp with pretensions) with Ecce Romane (Sextus sedet sub Arbore cum Flavia cantat) and taught it (for one year -I teach at a school which used to have pretensions before OFSTED pointed out that we were, in fact, shit) using the Cambridge course.
Personally,I'm an Ecce Romane man all the way, though why anyone should be the remotest bit interested in that fact I really don't know.
