Anglo, wasn't that "I'll give thee a ride..."?

Which reminded me that thee and thou have already been superceded.
Shame about the thou, though. Another step back from intimacy. And the meaning of 'intimacy' has changed, too.
As someone pointed out on this site, thou thou's them as thou's thee, lad.
