Good Lord, today we have trolls, spammers and downright rude people on GN. Has someone put something in the water? Or doctored the cupcakes?

Me neither phoenix.

Can these posts be put somewhere 'private' that only 'sensible' members can read - cos I feel I've really missed out on some action grin

Phoenix I had no idea who or what the Akond of Swat was either, so I googled it.

It seems that it is a poem by Edward Lear, which begins with the words
"Who, or why, or which, or what, Is the Akond of SWAT?"

'How pleasant to know Mr. Lear,
Who has written such volumes of stuff.
Some think him ill-tempered and queer,
But a few find him pleasant enough.'

I'll get me coat....

Must say, have not heard of the Akond of Swat. You live and learn even at my advanced age! grin
