But as always Sam was wonderful (and I thought it was OE's were charm personfied!) I am so rooting for you tomorrow not just as a proud friend but because professionally we're definitely in this together! Speech of your life? Yes he Cam

OK so it is us hairless seniors who grumble so much. But what puts my teeth (some) on edge is the present inability to know the difference between 'Few' and 'Less'. To say nothing on the matter of the inability properly to pronounce 'Controversy' and 'Irrevocable'.
