It means you walk up to the judge panel, they give you a handout, you walk on to the stage and have 1 minute to mentally read the material. The judges ring a bell, and then you speak to the morning assembly.What's an unseen public speaking competition?Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

I used to speak it, but got peed off with being called a Southern Wooftah when I went back home to Yorkshire, so dropped it sharpish.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment
