Yay, glad to see you back Sal. And the login worked for you.

It did! And thanks for the help!  :)

Hey Syt!

So, what's new here? Or what's going on?

If we're just getting one English dude back, I'd rather see Sheilbh.

What happened to Sheilbh? Did he just stop posting one day?

I'd guess he figured posting here was a big time sink, given how long, eloquent and thoughtful his posts were.

Yes, he was annoyingly level-headed, and refused to devolve into arguing over semantics for 6 pages.

Arkestra (?) was always cool, too.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Good to see you, Sal.  Hope you stick around.

I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

Today in the supermarket I overheard an interesting conversation between two people working there.
It seems some evil villainous manager has been trying to get them promoted.
I recall one saying "I told her outright. If anyone tries to promote me I'll quit right there and then".
