The city is a process which always veers away from the form envisaged and desired, ... whose revenge upon its architects and planners undoes every dream of mastery. It is [also] one of the sites where Dasein is assigned the impossible task of putting right what can never be put right. - Rob Lapsley

Thank you, Baz, Tommo and tinners.

Would it be too picky of me to point out, though, that it seems to me that the particular brilliance of Kitty's original concept lies in the fact that all the words she choses to define are ones which have been accidentally mangled in posting, and as such are new to the English language, therefore requiring definition?

Most people are under the misapprehension that I speak RP.  My accent is certainly fairly close to it, but not quite. 

RP: abbrev. for Rotten Pronunciation. Used chiefly by those living north of the Trent when referring to accents used in the South.

Well - possibly Ron. There are interesting ways too of seeing apparently "normal" words used in a particular context, and drawing out the humour provided by such context (in a well-meaning and light-hearted manner of course).

Indeed Cheesy. In which context I hope no one will mind me giving another outing to 'toadmire' which for me is for ever now associated with the music of R*g*r.

...anyway, judging by the tenor of his article it seems as if the recipe for success being put forward is for orchestras to abandon classical music and play arrngements of pop, folk and jazz tunes instead.

arrngement: abbrev. for "arrangement" when applied to the reworking of any piece of tonal music that specifically avoids a repetition of the key of A (either major or minor).
