Getting your version out first - and making it sufficiently weighty - makes everything else revisionism.Gareth Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05058241057385364459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2526736757651414061.post-86522518140075165372010-07-19T16:35:41.826+01:002010-07-19T16:35:41.826+01:00A commenter in today's Scotsman writes...

Rather than, say, handing a sheaf of papers to an underling and hissing "Bring me the head of Penguin Books", Broon really does want to get to grips with a rather tricky subject, the story of a poor, misunderstood genius from Kirkcaldy. I'd suggest Broon gives himself plenty of time and agrees not to publish a word for 1000 years at least. It'll be ready when it's ready.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06074816573442173758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2526736757651414061.post-67843430759418328022010-07-19T13:52:17.894+01:002010-07-19T13:52:17.894+01:00Gordon is as we speak rather wishing he had penned...Gordon is as we speak rather wishing he had penned his memoirs in advance of Peters.maltyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02936465848907794425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2526736757651414061.post-53383275164426762232010-07-19T13:51:13.793+01:002010-07-19T13:51:13.793+01:00I use it often, as it's a useful shortcut to B...I use it often, as it's a useful shortcut to British Understatement. It can also be an ejaculation of enthusiastic agreement - Rather! - but I always think that enthusiatic agreement is rather overdoing things.Brithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00390560583798960760noreply@blogger.com
