The following morning they will be fine.

They got two complaints on the night for their langauge and nothing else. They are funny (mostly). We should burn the daily mail and mail on sunday for their middle class snobbery.[redit][/redit]

Joseph makes a good case for those 2 "newspapers" but there would be something a bit unsatisfying about making the guest of honour something that should really just be kindling for the fire. I think it should be Galileo and we could issue a press statement at the same time saying we deplore the weak-kneed liberal official Church's admission of its mistake over his case. John

For kindling we need some worthless share certificates. The trouble is, Rose, the share certificates are far from worthless. Scripophiles are already forking out good money for them as collectors' items. There is an article in The Times. Go and have a look.
