You said "...David, now here's a challenge. You said "(I have waited years to be able to use the word ‘scrofulous’)."<br /><br />How about trying the word "coruscating". Now when I was about six, my mother told me "oh well, you know everything". And with QUITE a tone of displeasure I might add, which usually mortified me. No I wasn't in a non-working refriDgerated van!!! Anyway, I certainly did not deserve that look! <br /><br />Anyway, about 56 years later I discovered my mother was correct. I was reading a newspaper correspondent in the golden year when England (or is that the MCC) won the ashes against Australia (2005/6 or sometime like that).<br />He described the batting of that Petersen fellow as coruscating. That threw me, a word I had never heard of.<br /><br />Quite easy to apply to an A4, or a Duchess I would think. Or perhaps its paintwork, or its running qualities.<br />regards<br />Kimballkimballthurlowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07564897315321021193noreply@blogger.com
