I get this wonderful picture in my mind of Ewan MacColl in kilt and tam, waving a big knotty stick and singing at the top of his lungs "Uncle Ho, the Father of his people", (his Vietnam era paen to Ho Chi Minh) in some run-down music hall.

Please don't take offence Domenico. Outrageous humour sprouts it's wings in a great many threads here at the "Cat". I've been the recipient more times than I care to remember!
