blind faith

I've been reading Ben Elton's Blind Faith. It's possibly one of the most disturbing works of fiction I've come across (and I mean disturbing in a positively thought provoking sense).

great expression

I must find an opportunity sometime today to use the expression "cheese eating surrender monkey." What a great expression! It's going to rattle around in my head all morning.
