      What a great word!

      Definition of CALLITHUMP: a noisy boisterous band or parade
      Origin of CALLITHUMP
      back-formation from callithumpian, adjective, alteration of English dialect gallithumpian disturber of order at elections in 18th century

      The things one learns here... and on AA (which I have no intention of neglecting!)
      "...the isle is full of noises,
      Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
      Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
      Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                    But, obviously this is stupendous news. Hurrah !!

                    I am expecting a creative new range of punishments for offenders....
                    I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

                    I am not a number, I am a free man.

                      That sounds like a scene from The Mikado.

                        He's got a little list
                        He's got a little list
                        of society offenders who might well be underground
                        who never would be missed
                        Who never would be missed

                            Boiling oil and elliptical billiard balls will be involved, I'm sure, but there will be no strong arm tactics. Finesse is all.....
