Netherlands, the Hague Thanks lots for a good laugh on a gray day. I have some doubts however
on the pejorative application of the word "pedestrian" .
The best holidays I remember were pedestrian long trail trips.
Never a dull moment.
Isn't Fry the rock that makes Laurie roll?
Or the other way around?

Netherlands, the Hague I just learned from milo's post that the word can also mean "dull" or "ordinary". I'm afraid there hardly is a word that is ordinary to me. cobwebs long since overrun by a Wellington boot, ha!!
