Have realised that (a) I have missed some important bits out of the paper, without which the argument doesn't make sense and (b) it is far too long. Gah. Am going out for a sandwich.

(c) Not only has my German gone downhill, I have a tendency to miss out verbs when writing it in* the computer. My God. I'm turning into a more Germanic Tony Blair. Kill me now....

*writing it in the computer. Writing it in the computer. Where did my brain go, and why are my language centres apparently turning into porridge?

But isn't there a danger there that you might turn into David Tennant?

Given that I come from a part of Britain run as a sort of Anglo-Scots condominium in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, and that I have a lot of Scots ancestors in the nineteenth century, I might just be able to get away with it.

I come from further south, but my last Scottish ancestor was born in the late C19.

Ich weiß, es ist so ein Mist, wenn mann kein Deutsch mehr zurecht sprechen kann, aber das Englisch ist auch korruptiert.

(a) I have missed some important bits out of the paper, without which the argument doesn't make sense and (b) it is far too long.

Dass ist auch mehr oder weniger meine Meinung über diesen verflixten Konferenzbeitrag, mitt dem ich nur hoffen kannn, dass ich zu Ende bin!
