  1. I am somewhat disheartened that an otherwise sophisticated discussion is being spoiled by riff-raff, most notably the one from Edinburgh.

    Still, we must not condemn these poor urchins. We must pity them, for they live simple lives.

    But did Dr Johnson not say "As the mind must govern the hands, so in every society the man of intelligence must direct the man of labour"?

    My dear chap, you have me worried.

    The last time we crossed literary swords it was a decent duel. Now it would be like fighting Mr Benn with a limp daffodil.

    I know nothing of this resignation malarkey but your quill has been blunted and no mistake. Take heart from the words of your city's finest wordsmith - no not the surrogate McGonagall, but the much admired Soapy Souter:

    "Jings Wullie! Ah canna go doon Stoorie Brae wi the Gaswork Gang waitin' at the other end!"

    Never ceases to inspire me in my dark moments that.
