You've spent days honing your deathless prose…

…to be declaimed before what is almost certain to be the largest congregation ever gathered in St Stephen’s (this is the baptism of an Archer, after all—and a Brookfield Archer, at that).

Indeed, but I’m extremely grateful she didn’t or we’d have had to hear it!

Or perhaps she had and fled leaving a trail of index cards in her wake. I’d love to think of Jim scooping them up and snorting as he read each one. However improbable it was that he’d be there, I rather like the thought of him hounding her like Nemesis, shouting ‘Oath-breaker!’ at her every time her sees her.

It has seemed like a long 10 years…

Mind you, I am trying to listen to the Academic Archers thing on YouTube, & not doing very well with that, either…

Would just saying “no thanks” have been beyond him ?

Mind you, what effin’ eejit nominated him ?

“Mr. Farage, would you be interested in replacing Mr. Junker ?”

I wouldn’t be so sure of the answer to the last question…
