One of the things about having
CJ staying is having to be accurate in one's speech. I used to be (I'm not now, of course!) a pedant. This morning at the conclusion of breakfast I perused the Book People's latest catalogue which arrived yesterday.
One title was
The Mystery of Things by A E
Grayling, subtitled
Life and What It Means. All that and three other of his books for £6.99. Given the attempts that have been made to clarify this subject over the
millennia the price seems remarkably reasonable.

Then came
Don't Arm Wrestle a Pirate: 101 Really Bad Ideas. Now it seems to us that
not arm wrestling a pirate is a very sensible idea. Perhaps if I read the book I'd know differently.
Hmm.
