   I learned French for 5 years & Spanish for 4 years at a grammar school during the war years. Visiting those countries post war, I found I picked up the languages quite quickly & was surprised that I could remember so much vocabulary.
   I have an advantage that I communicate with friends in France in particular, by radio and via the Internet on a daily basis which gives me a chance to keep up with the languages.
   I open a dictionary at random & point to a word each day. Today's French word was 'exposant' which is an exhibitor & the Spanish one was 'desgaire' which means untidyness - just like my desk!

   Well, NATO was engaged in anti civilian bombing there.

   Its Bomber Harris - Melanie territory. (She thinks there are no civilians in Hamas Palestine)

   It din't work in Germany and iit won't work in Afghanistan.

   tHe military beleive it will, 'cos its fear that drives them.

   Military consciousness is a bi - polar disorder - twixt fear and aggression. The effect of each is the other.

   What else have they got in common?

   They're killling fields PM isn't reporting.

   Too frightened of the military are we?

    The really awful thing is if That Person says something that isn't entirely appalling, and one finds oneself agreeing with her for a moment. Like when the person she was arguing against on the Moral Maze was being *even more unreasonable and illogical than she was* -- hard to believe, but I'm told it happened once. I have a 'missing week' and it seems to have started at the moment my daughter reports me as exclaiming "Help! She's sounding reasonable!" and then going completely zombie-like... Evidently the shock was too terrible for me to wish to remember the event, and I have blanked the whole experience.

    Maybe those ECTs did me good, cos I can never rememeber her name either. It gets really embarassing when I'm sticking pins in her wax effigy and in theory chanting it.

    Melanie Griffiths. I think! No, no, no! Not even Mr. Philips could confuse those two.

    I think you may have achieved a milestone in broadcasting history - at 4PM on Radio 4 today, there was as usual a short mention of 'what's coming later', but this time they thought a forthcoming highlight was that Eddie Mair would be along at 4:30 to tell us what was coming in PM - always a delight to lieten to Eddie, but is this the first ever trailer for a trailer?

    Robert (14), Nice change of subject away from hideous bigot-woman there! And wow! Perhaps that is a first! As you say, Eddie is always a delight...
