>So, when are you giving the Elgin Marbles back?
Its a fair cop
Ok, I hear Elgin pronounced with a hard g in the BBC programs that are received here ... Prior to the proliferation of BBC programs received I had always heard it pronounced EL-jin.
In US we have an expression when we win -- we walk away with "all the marbles."
Any connection? ...comments?
wow
