Are we allowed to call people idiots?

6 Nov 2011

Blast! Deleted before I read it..... On the subject of invented language, I bought a book called The Book of Dave which had it's own language in it.

It's not a lot ...

I think that's a mistake, moving it out of school holidays and not being a weekend will mean a lot of people won't be able to attend. They may just have shot themselves in the foot there - but I suspect the Carnival Committee were holding the gun...
