    As sarcastic and scathing as that is - who is it addressed to?

      Maggie Tulliver is the main Charecter in the Mill on the Floss, had to go and check to make sure.

      Velcro was based on thistle Burrs, even the website has the story on the front page.

      Unless the spelling was deliberate and I have the wrong Khan,

      In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
      A stately pleasure-dome decree:
      Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
      Through caverns measureless to man
      Down to a sunless sea.
      Only the top was was wrong out of those according to the team that did UC (Middlemarch). Google seems to agree with you though.
      The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

      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.”

        Ah! Now I see.... you thought I was being disparaging about Pub Quizes....
        Sorry - I must have touched a nerve!
        I am happy to believe that Pub Quizing is a highly stimulating pass time and I hope you enjoyed playing with the Brain of Britain.

          Hey, It doesn't really matter does it? One man's fun is another man's source of scorn and ridicule. Anyway the sun is out!

                    Just to show there are no hard feelings:

                    What does the C stand for in E=MCsquared?

                    Which reggae singing star died 11th May 1981?

                    Which Briton won an ice-skating Gold at the Lake Placid Olympics?

                    In which country did the Mau Mau uprising (1952-60) occur?

                    In knitting, what is meant by the initials 'psso'?

                    A palmiped's feet are more commonly called what?
