I will also specifically assign Anti-Semitism. Dear me, the idiots we have to cope with.

Alas it is... I cannot believe how little my god-daughter has to read for A-Level English.. and she gets to do Captain Correlli's mandolin not slog thorugh a Dickens .... I may disown her for not "getting" Jane Austen ....

I assign Aged Parents buying large domestic appliances without getting home delivery thus necessitating yours truly to extract said large appliance from a small fiat and get into house and having to refuse neighbours offer of help due to house looking as if it had been ransacked by burglars......
