The European Union

Fabian Funnies

by Chris Brooke

I was reading the new almost-worthy-but-dull Fabian Society pamphlet by Gisela Stuart MP on “The Making of Europe’s Constitution” on a bus-ride yesterday.

“There were moments in the sixteen months I spent in close proximity with my fellow Europeans when I had great sympathy with the suggestion of my laptop spellcheck; which, whenever I typed in the word Giscard, replaced it with ‘discard’.”
But that’s the only highlight, I’m afraid.

    Reminds me of the days when I used WP5.1 and my spell check told me to substitute “liquid” for “Likud” and “Maoris” for “Meretz.”
