I am so adjective that I verb nouns!
1) Tea -- where is tea in the list???

2) "We should tolerate eccentricity in others, almost to the point of lunacy, provided no one else is harmed." This should be the case in TNCR as well.
The dogma lives loudly within me.

I LIKE that! I'm going to make it my signature here for a while.

Intrigued too by earlier headline in the Telegraph, mentioned same page:
"Dictator's grip is tightened by weak protest"

Like faint praise. Interesting to contemplate that a whimper may be almost worse than nothing. The letter writer comments that it was not taking Robert Mugabe seriously , that entrenched his brutal dictatorship. A go-ahead message - that no one cared. Not very much anyhow. Yawn.
