Pete, enjoying the prospect of the solemn
twilight ceremony, the
massed bands, the arena full of hushed spectators, the
flags, the bunting...
Mentioning "bunting" in the same thread as [[Monty Python]]
might not be the wisest move ("what a silly bunt"[1] :-)...
I see you had a classical education, Phil!
Actually, I was thinking about bunting in a baseball sort of way, and making
my usual sort of silly wordplay.
Regarding Wikipedia as any sort of equivalent to real-life organisations is
always going to end up looking rather strained. Wikipedia is Wikipedia is
Wikipedia. By definition.
