According to my mother, who called me to check whether I’d seen the news this evening – and at my answering no, asked whether I had heard that Richar Harris has died, which is silly, I don’t need to see the news for that sort of thing, this is what the internet’s for, and, oh, dear, this sentence seems to have gone completely astray/awry/aglee (take your pick).
Like I was saying: According to my mother the evening news ran a story this evening on how Norwegian soldiers are being given martial arts training. There are concerns about this, apparently, because – get this – it will enable them to kill people… It occurrs to me that someone, somewhere, must have completely misunderstood the point of an army.
