*I may not be allowed to use that expression for much longer; apparently it may offend some ethnic minorities for reasons that completely escape me.

Or so I read somewhere.

Though that may have been a dream.

I don't see why. "all" seems fairly inclusive to me.

Apparently the plod may also be avoiding the terms "child" or "children" from now on.

For equally obscure ethnic reasons .

Mind how you go

indeed.

Were the Nubians coming over here taking your work, or were you going over there taking their work?

Either way, that's no way to expand an empire: the thing to do is to go to Nubia and employ the thick ones as poorly-paid servants, labourers and sepoys whilst forming the smart ones into a bureaucratic Civil Service to underpin your rule. It's the British way

Yup.

It worked remarkably well.

50k Brits to rule 100M Indians.

Wish we'd done more about the Northwest Frontier whilst we were at it though.

I repaired the heating ring support thingie on my mum's cooker.

It involved much drilling at awkward angles and such like, plus chopping slots in a piece of aluminium.

Should last at least 6 months before the Al melts or rusts away.
