Nah - I am glad that I didn't do a media degree or a philosphy/history of art degree. English might notbe far behind and as far as I am concerned, every plodding module has been mine etc.
I don't think I am corrupted enough to be a politician (anyway, this is my understanding of politics - poly= many; tics= blood sucking parasites).
Rosie I DO SO LOVE YOU!!! Mad Guffaws... Poli tics! oh GAWWWWD...
And English IS such a wonderful language when used as it should be and appreciated ditto. And it is OURS!! OK a cobblers toolbag of Norman-French,Anglo-saxon, brute Gallic, Viking and gawd knows what else, but it IS ENGLISH... and there's nowt like it anywhere else! Such a history in the building of those words too. Etymology - thank you Google.
I do wish sometimes when I hear even educated persons speaking on the radio, esp. the ladies, they'd LISTEN to themselves first... they SQUAWK, like DUCKS quacking.. shrill and harsh.. when a melodious speaking voice is such JOY!I could barely understand a very clever woman the other morning discussing Finance or something ... oop thur, but she just did NOT make any sense. It wasn't that she had a Geordie accent or anything as delicious... she just spoke dreadful mid-big-city slop.
You, incidentally darling Rosie, DO have a looooovely voice, very alto and well modulated. I'd like you to read to me... that would be most pleasurable!!!
