How can you resist? Tony Blair writes a Guardian blog: you can comment

[muriel_volestrangler]

No more coded critiques - let's have an open debate on where we go next

It's mainly about British domestic policy, but he does mention foreign policy too. So, here it is - your chance to tell Blair exactly where to go.

OK, we know the bastard won't bother reading the comments, and only the sycophantic ones might get reported to him, but it's still your chance to have your views down in opposition to the sanctimonious git.

1. Like What? Go to Coventry?

Courtesy of Dorothy Sayers, that's supposed to be equivalent to Go to Hell (although in Michigan, Hell is a vacation spot/ tourist trap.)

2. Did you mean - Sent to Coventry ?

That means being shunned and not spoken to.

4. Thanks for The Translation!

I'm thinking that a new dumping place for undesirables (the Moon, or Mars) is our only real solution to the problem of too many psychopaths.

5. Some things are never what they seem

I have a friend in VA who constantly asks me to translate our slang and colloquial expressions for him. Similarly I don't easily recognise the meanings of some of your's.
I have even greater difficult with acronyms - I usually need to google those to get half a clue.

6. Well, You Can Ask Me!

I will gladly try to translate American and most Geek, provided you aren't looking for anything too youthful. For stuff like that, I'd have to ask my daughter. I think you can email me from here.

7. Yes I'll write

the next time something puzzles me. I had a problem yesterday with LTTE which at first I decided was the Tamil Tigers - same acronym. Turned out to be letters to the editor - doh !
I also use my daughter for geek stuff !

3. All reponses seem to be negative

and quite rightly so. Where do we go next ? Out of Iraq is the answer.
