In return for some much needed consonants we could deal with our vowel surplus - I have an email in from a woman called Eadaoin who could probably trade a couple of letters to build up a supply of j, k, q, w, x, y and z. I did wonder about about v and asked a school teacher about O Cuiv and he told me that the v embargo had been lifted. Grandad,

"Are you a polevaulter?" "No, I'm German, and how did you know my name is Walter?" A commentator is at the olympic games, and chooses a random dude holding a big stick to interview.

“Are you a polevaulter?”

I have her convinced that it is because somewhere along the line there is some germanic blood there. Of course the mere mention of that brings the daggers out but as she is from the Gdansk area I don't think it is outside the realms of possibility since that area was once part of Prussia.

Fuck that PC stuff for a sec and let's be honest here. Some of the Lithuanians must have trained themselves in knife-fighting 'cos every week Edgaras Jankauskas has knifed Vladmir Posanokus and they're both before the Special Criminal Court. A while back, in Monaghan, one Lithuanian knifed another, and seeing his victim was still alive, drove him to hospital. Wasn't that considerate? Robert, I’m 100% with you.
