Boon it probably isn't since the people on offer seem either to be looking for a wife, cook and bottle washer or a free prostitute. I just want to meet interesting dinner companions, really.

Really laudable aim that, and I hope you succeed, Clary dear. Restaurants are good if only for the fact that it's always fairly clear who is going to do the washing up.

Up with eating out, down with washing up! Can we all relax and think of important things like words and food now the election fiasco is over?

Over and out. Why is it like that? why isn't it just over, 'cause they mean basically the same, don't they?

They are so central to radio communication - I suppose over meant 'your turn next' and 'out' meant 'finishing now' - but why bother to turn over to the other person before finishing? Seems a bit unnecessary.

Unnecessary things can sometimes be necessary, believe me.

Me - I'm all for the unnecessary. But it begs the question - what is necessary anyway?

Anyway, another thing. I'm really fed up with political threads now, so maybe I'll give them a rest for a while.

While we have no change politically, you are probably right. Or left.

"Left at the George & Dragon, and straight on at the ford" advised the local Devon villager, but look as they might, and they did, for hours, they couldn't find that elusive car anywhere. But, they did get their feet wet.

Tales of the Arabian Nights is probably one of the most famous literature on the globe.

Globe is the name of Shakespeare's theatre, now rebuilt on the South Bank. "All the world's a stage", he wrote. How true.

True stories are the most interesting. But sometimes Life imitates Art.

Art Tatum was one of my very favouritest piano players. Boy could that man tinkle the ivories.

Ivories and ebonies look good together, not only on pianos. Presumably they have to be made of toughened plastic nowadays to be politically correct.

Correctamundo! And toughened piano keys had to be plenty tough to withstand the pedal assaults of Jerry Lee Lewis.

Lewis - John Lewis - is a great store. I remember going to buy fabric there in the 60s when some keen people still made their own clothes, as my housemate did for me.
