Geez! In my piece I sided with the enemy! Freudian slip. I'll
take my axe to the little thing and turn 'er around for the temperance crowd. Oh, and Bazza: I did mean "hordes."
I've been reading the Annotated Alice and just realized George Simmers is in there for his Speccie win way back in 1991 (with an answer to the immortal "How is a raven like a writing desk?"). A very belated congratulations for a wonderful placement.
Owen, you've made my day.
My copy of the Annotated Alice is an old one, definitely pre-1991. I didn't know there had been a new edition including my little joke. I'm very chuffed to learn this, and shall seek out a copy.
