 Nice idea Max-- in fact it is Pure Brillience!
shall we try to include some radically changed words in our posts?
nice not that long ago was not a complimentary word.. (hints of its old meaning are find in the idiom "a nice bit of business" used to describe something underhanded, sly, rude or mean) and i am trusting Simon Winchester on this one, pure in victorian times, was a term for dog sh*t--collected and used by tanneries.
