    It wasn't that much of a zinger. Maybe if he had posed the question in a
    language other than English.

    Would Professor Higgins have more success with Ullrich than Godefroot?

    Their language, their raison d'être, or why they give their cricket
    scores back to front ?

    I'm guessing you never had the Sean Kelly 'Understanding languages
    vaguely similar to English' course. After Kelly, everything else is a
    piece of cake. Or cike.

    Dirty sex was a feature of any race when Kelly was commentating.

    Dude, the faculty of the School of Languages Vaguely Resembling
    English are all from Ireland. Stephen Roche is chair, Sean Kelly
    is widely published on the topic of Linguistic Mutilation.

    Phil Anderson and Stuart O'Grady were denied tenure.

    Who had no trouble at all ordering escargot from Allan Peiper.
