first <i>in front of the firing squad</i>

I have a genius for getting the highlighted bit to switch just as I delete something.

One useful old political clich&eacute;: new MP being shown round Parliament by an old hand, points to the benches on the other side and says
&quot;So that's where the enemy sits&quot;. Old hand - &quot;No, that's where your opponents sit. Your enemies are on this side&quot;.

Put it this way: Come the revolution I'm going to need a VERY long wall.

&gt;&gt;in general we are very private people. &lt;&lt;

But a literary people, so Fodor's Lounge allows us safely to share thoughts with stangers. No eye contact required.

(P.S. walkinaround: They have stumbled onto your being a seppo. Only a matter of time now before someone draws obvious conclusion from our never being seen together in public.)

We don't have pubs - only bars or restaurant bars with loud music, so a PUB in England is wonderful - we soak up the atmosphere and never mix liquor and politics - (especially as they are red hot right now in South Africa)!
