By the way, the strike-through on the "eeeeeeee" does not come out well.

I had to laugh at the joint signatures on a letter to Private Eye in the current issue:

Major Days-Bee
Mary Anne Bright
Ann May Hall
York Rhys
Mrs B. White

Someone will have to explain why it was very clever, just in case someone doesn't get it.

People will come from strange lands to hear me speak my words of wisdom. They will ask me the secret of life and I will tell them. Then maybe I'll finish off with a song. The Nomad

Because Roger said it was!

You have to read the names out in one go to get the relevance.

I actually thought the first word would have been better as "Mayor".

Ahh, my that was clever! - course I knew that - I was just asking in case someone, someone other than me, came by here and didn't get it.

I apologise, in advance.
