All this talk of endless ‘isms’ and the French has compelled me to blog about Lannie Frotage & His Anarchist Caravan.

I presume the word ‘dudos’, in the penultimate line of ianrs’ rant, was a reference to the fame and renown earned by a long dead member of the columbiforme family : Raphus cucullatus.

The question as to how he came observe the tuft of curly feathers high on the rear ends of these birds,as a means of identification, will remain , I hope, forever unanswered.

I spent a chunk of yesterday trying to get back into the UK despite the best intentions One (allegedly a railway company) and our glorious passport agency. anyway, for disrespect, inefficiency, rudeness and making me ashamed to be british, there was no real difference between public and private sector. The similarities of course lay in the tiny numbers of staff, lack of information and overwhelming smell of crappy, target driven, bottom-line management. So no dodos here then!
you vile, ignorant buffoon.

Oh, Jaq. I’m so sorry. I was only joking.
‘Long live love which dreams,
Flares up and then flees!
Long live love which dies
In one night!’ ?

That’s very beautiful but so sad, Jaq. But I loved it. Love should be beautiful and sad…
God bless you at Easter, Jaq x

And you, too, Melissa.

Hear, hear Boris! The Italian national carrier is only just better than AirFrance, and I completely agree that the EU is a Franco-protectionist mess right now.

dmnyc, what the hell is a fandango anyway?

in addition to being a rather dreadful film from 1985, fandango is a Spanish dance – sometimes involving castanets.

Fandango, from the
early fifteenth century Japanese.
Fan = ventilator; or propellor
Dan = coloured belt
Go= A two player game.
Hence the compound word which means ” The ‘to-do’ one has when the pedal driven propellor drive belt breaks.
The Japanese of course ,invented the ” Hally Potter” before Leonardo , but there was no one there to see it, so it remained one of the undiscovered wonders of the World for a long time, by which time oil had been discovered, thus outdating the invention.
