Either that, or we just found more interesting things to talk about when we did!Richard Thomsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00380671811598211337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1638916042737526171.post-81338598392070183112009-11-11T13:09:27.506+00:002009-11-11T13:09:27.506+00:00Fair point, Bucket of Tongues.

Perhaps the emergence of Scots focus on Wales in the prose of we sluggish, wheezy followers-on are simply reflecting the truth of your August prophecies?Lallands Peat Worrierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238432265194046726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1638916042737526171.post-11205938240363312652009-11-08T03:44:02.079+00:002009-11-08T03:44:02.079+00:00"Although Cameron is the first to get a light..."Although Cameron is the first to get a light gubbing on this issue, I imagine the cudgels have not been pacifically hung over the fire or rhetorical swords folded benignly into ploughshares just yet."<br /><br />Wow - how many metaphors did you manage to mix into that sentence?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1638916042737526171.post-52520163816379929632009-11-07T23:02:42.318+00:002009-11-07T23:02:42.318+00:00Ahem... :-)
