I only use jars of paste for Thai food, never for Indian. That is a good example of the "misplaced only" is not it? One must be on one's guard against ambiguity ceaselessly! But the lady Member may console herself with the thought that she is as Eric Partridge points out in the company of Shakespeare, Coleridge, Chesterton, and Ludwig Wittgenstein. . . . , used by those who are accustomed to employing the royal "we" when speaking of others; e.g. "One must be on one's guard" then means " others must be on their guard". When speaking of themselves, people of this inclination would say " We must be on our guard". |

It may sound like new-agey bowl-locks
new-agey bowl-locks the unfortunate effect of a lack of dietary fibre in a new-fangled post-Christmas diet. A suitable remedy might be cowpoke beans. |
