Being a simple soul, or as others might have it a total duckwit, my instincts are all wrong.
The inner Gus says yay red, blue boo.

Talking of lagging, and to raise our spiritsā€¦

And I have always enjoyed the thought of ā€œThe Frenchā€ as some class of superior fox.
i adore this song.
Soz.

If Deutsche Bank decide to seize assets, do you suppose they might consider the ones near home, in Scotland and Ireland? It would be a tremendous relief to have his taint away from these islands.
