Sorry to queue barge....
but the only way to get this read is to appear on the first page.
Given that this thread seems to have attracted even more posts than the randomiser, the Brits this year or last or eurovision, doesn't this warrant some recognition, not only for PC, drowning his love-angst in punnery and worse, but for the best offering(s).
Come on, editorial, isn't it about time you cleared out your desks of unwanted review copies, let's have some judging and prizes. To keep us all sweet.
Well said
Patrick's is probably the most 'Word' thread I can recall - as in obscure, funny, frustrating, communal and time-wastingly obsessive.
Thank you very much...
