Just thought, oh assembled (whether in presence or absence)
wordsmiththinkers, that the following from a recent Guardian might set a few
sparklers into orbit whilst weightier matters stir on the margins...

A champion bit of writing - it certainly stirred the thick porridge of my
phlegmatic northern dejeuner and brightened my day.
Thanks for posting it. Now I have your preserved in amber as...*A Guardian
Reader.* ;-) I only get one paper a week now - the Observer, though I read
the Guardian in my barber's. I have been reading The Observer [not the same
paper] for over 55-years now. I find that it has changed a lot over the
years - dumbed down quite a bit. Less literacy crit and more on architecture,
pop-music and women's styles and other less interesting stuff [as far as I am
concerned.]
Regards,
Jud
