sounds of silence

Sounds of silence would be preferable to the sounds of people in love with the sound of their own voices. The cacophony from the sandpit has been quite disturbing of late.

Principal amongst these people, we would rate Peter Costello (raiding the honeypot, honourable members! the honeypot! the pot with the honey in it!).

In an entirely different category would be Lord Downer of Behind the Green Line (I have always thought that this man is a grub...but this man over here, honourable members, is a human! A human man, honourable humans and other members opposite!).

I'm glad that all the inhabitants of the sandpit are enjoying themselves, because it certainly isn't adding to the common weal, honourable readers. The weal! The common one!

And now, having vented, back to proofreading.....
