>All articles that coruscate with resplendance are not truly suritorous. yup, that's my source all right. but I'll be vapulated if I can find any confirmation that suritorous (or anything like it) relates to gold...

Competition's success is quite nice - So found J thro' her winning advice. When we gave her a hand She thought "Ain't that just grand - I might as well vapulate twice!"

Gee-minently, people!! One measly editing blooper, and WHAM--this ma'am is slammed. (NOT bammed!!!!!)
tsuwm--should have figured you'd have found that'n.
Now come on, you-all--it's obvious I can't shut up, but as I said afore, there is nothing preventing anyone from out- posting me, and I frankly wish all of you would!

What's with this "no fair" business? My children sometimes use the phrase, which I have assumed - rightly or wrongly - that they have picked up from (US?) television programs.
To me, "it's no fair" would mean the same as "it's no picnic" (i.e. hard work, not much fun), but people use it for "it's unjust" where I would use "it's not fair".

What's with this "no fair" business? *shrug* American colloquial usage, I guess. It is a childish expression, which was appropriate to the context . Maybe someone can shed light.

>"it's not fair"
Me too. I assume that to say "its no fair" you have to say it in a singalong voice and add "man".
Or is it a complaint that the travelling circus with sideshows isn't quite up to scratch?
