Thanks so much Jolisa,
That was such a good read. I did worry, at your mention of H G Wells, whether the mind was at the end of its tether - but clearly not.
It's nice to know that when he was three busybaby was much more than was hardly he.

On sports coverage, it seemed to me that as sky took all the live men's rubgy TVNZ spun it's wheels until discovering that this here netball was actually quite popular and could attract more viewers and sponsorship. And I am very grateful. The Black Ferns also had an increase of coverage, although I assume they've disappearred from free to air to fill some awkward Rugby Channel slot (consistantly winning the World Cup obviously being too predictable). So for the White Ferns... could someone please convince Sky to take all that Sunday afternoon motor racing to where it's appreciated? Please?

On the Inauguration coverage, I watched it on Al Jazeera (oh the irony) and from what I'm reading of other stations and US networks they had a great point of difference: They just Shut Up when the important bits were on screen. Especially watching-while-waking, the lack of blather was the best...

Hope you, Fiona and the boys have a great refreshing (of the restoritive rather than browser sort) holiday Russell.

Despite the temporal distortion field that makes it The Day That Never Ends, eventually... it does.

How English Lit. has changed.
When I did it, within the last decade, speculation of a writer's mental state or proccupations was very much avoided - as in "There's *no* way you can know that for certain so don't go there and concentrate on the effect achieved (or not) by the writing)".
Season's (whatever the season) Greetings: Mary Christmas had a little lamb/that I hope you find delicious.

Thanks Jolisa!
Oh, and: buy someone you love an instrument for Christmas: DIY music will get us through this economic turbulence.
I'vealways wondered if use in multiple use of colons in a single sentence was punctual sin but, hey!: if an award winning writer on words can use them with aplomb..!: I may as well imitate!
Merry Xmas (where X = appropriate festival) all!
