"Quousque tandem abutere, Catilina, patientia nostra?"
I ran into this well known quote, where the word "tandem" is used in latin, by Cicero in the Roman senate, translates to:
"How long Catilina will you abuse our patience?"
Here "tandem" is used in reference to a temporal sequence rather than a sequence of riders, but it might be useful for some of our stokers when they are forced to run at higher cadence, or to go further than they care to go.
