julie and francis, thankyou.
I don't think I would of got it.I was on a different wavelength.And I didn't know that Swiftian was in Chambers.
I wonder if there is a difference between satirical and Swiftian.
If you google Jonathan Swift or Gullivers travels the word satirical occurs all the time.

As you don't mind being pedantic, hopefully you won't be upset if I point out that 'could of' should read 'could have' :)
