An answer for Rob. Us Brits have both pound and dollar signs. Do you Americans have a national Anthem? Do you sing God Save the Queen? What War of Independence? You know when a sinisterine makes a joke, and thinks it's funny, and then keeps making that joke ad infinitum, and occasionally someone will make it known they found the joke funny, which encourages the original comedian to keep his joke going cos it boosts his already overblown ego, despite the fact it's not funny any more, if it ever was? Can anyone think of any examples? I got chatted up in a club in Manchester on Saturday. This is almost a unique event. It was also a bloke who was chatting me up, and a really good looking bloke to boot. If I were gay, which I'm not, I would have had fun with this boy as he was dead tasty. But I was very flattered and pleased. But anyway, the reason I mention it is because it was the first time ever someone's made conversation as a result of my upside down badge. Okay, it was "what's that then? Why's it upside down?", but still. And Kado, If you think you're going to be the village capitalist, you've got another thing coming. I can buy you, I can buy the lot of you. I already have a plan to turn the village into a slick money-making operation, with a Starbucks on every corner and Lighthouse Family albums provided free with every Beazer home. I know Councillor Evans will be behind me every step of the way. I also demand droit de seigneur. Be afraid. Be very afraid. Sam, I'm also quite a fan of the old B&J, though I've never seen it written with an ampersand before.
