Hi all This is your neighbourhood statitician.
Well done ixion for a really puzzling clue.
I think you should get two laurel wreaths for forcing an explanation. ( Dont think it was a true Spoonerism but I like sour grapes.)
Clever of you to post in the last hour which might have forced Therogues hand!!!!!!
WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT WED I SIT ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT.

With all my etc
THEA

May I just ask what "to go postal" means?Go slow?Hasn't reached mainland Europe as far as I know,nor is it in Chambers 11th ed.!

Re 'go postal' - my dictionary says 'US informal, go mad especially from stress[with reference to cases in which postal employees ran amok and shot colleagues]'

Do you remember my criticising aristophanes's
testicular entry because it "didn't fit the rules" hilarious though it was? General opinion was that I was a pedant. ixion's entry is in the same category, a worthy winner but because "it does not fit the rules" we can't decipher it(some of us anyway).

Thank you,Chips,for the explanation.My Funk & Wagnell's unfortunately dates from 1967!Another investment necessary?Or maybe google US slang ......

Well done ixion, and thanks therogue for another good word.(Are you from Liverpool?)

I was born across the Mersey in New Brighton.

re going postal, had to check the meaning after reading Terry Pratchett's excellent book.

pastille - let it all wash over you like waves on the shor, and don't stress.
