      Skylark I think we stand a very good chance this year. Our song is trivial, over-indulgent twaddle with not one but two unmusical key changes plus it has an Eastern European minor key waltz feel to it which is a blatant attempt to secure Eastern European vote. I'd say it's a foregone conclusion ;-)

    Gerry, you might enjoy this by Bill Bryson – a very light approach to how science pretty much has no idea about anything: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Short-History-Of-Nearly-Everything/dp/0552997048/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1337281605&sr=8-1

      AlanP I didn't know. Interesting that I immediately knew what she sounded like although I have never been a disco person and never bought any of her music. A pity.

    No, you're not. What about developing a map for yourself. You know the end goal you want to achieve, so come up with a series of steps to achieve it. What's first? Get on the path to improving your English skills. Is there a course you can enrol in ...

    Of the many things that have been welcome in my lap I must confess I have never before welcomed a Llama. Still autres temps, autres moeurs.

    Ok Barb, we've finished the round on Swords. So do we all get a chance to write our own 'final' episodes now, or do you want another round of episodes just moving towards a conclusion?
