I can't even sip red wine, my body just rejects it instantly. I can have it in food though, oddly. Which reminds me, I need to buy some spronions for tonight. |

I love red wine, me. A nice madoc, bordeaux or pinot noir, ta. Less fond of white, due to the fact that they're more prone to give me headaches, but I still love a good chablis and the New Zealand Sauvignons are very nice. I tend to go to Nicholas and get my one bottle of wine a week, therefore I drink almost exclusively French at the moment. Not for nothing do my mates call me 'Luxury Pete'. I'm on Faceboko by the way, under 'Peter Dareth Evans'. I had no idea there was a BETEO group though. Silly me. Feel free to sign me up, friendo! Still, I do have a mistrust of Facebook now. Can't it go back to being like in the old days? Fun fact: Rupert Murdoch owns Myspace, hence tabloid headlines of 'Facebook teh evil'. He is currently seeking to buy out Facebook and Bebo, however. |

'And I Claim My Five Pounds'. |

Target audience. Lobby Lud was a fictional character invented in August 1927 by the Westminster Gazette. Anonymous employees of the newspaper would visit seaside resorts. The newspaper would print details of the town, a description of the appearance of that day's "Lobby Lud", and a particular pass phrase. [..] Other newspapers such as the Daily Mirror ran similar schemes – "You are (name) and I claim my five pounds" – the most well-known challenge phrase, seems to date from a Daily Mail version which ran after the Second World War. |

Grim... is probably referring to the legal technicality that also meant "MG" never stood for Morris Garages, no matter how much people looked at Mr Morris, and his Garage, and his "MG" brand. You cannot trademark an acronym (or an initialism I guess), so they will always steadfastly refuse to admit that anything stands for anything. |
