Does this photo of a big inflatable fish &#8216;attacking&#8217; a building have connotations of the classic movie &#8216;King Kong&#8217;, or does it sink to the bottom because a fish doesn&#8217;t have quite the same charisma as a gorilla?
In the film &#8216;King Kong&#8217; the gorilla first attacks and then develops a bond with a pretty blonde [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[English is a pretty flexible language, as these  &#8216;ratted&#8217; Volkswagen vans which were originally driven in Australia and were on display at a VW rally in eastern England, proves.
&#8216;Ratted&#8217; means that the paintwork is deliberately left in a pretty poor condition. At least, in a pretty poor condition if you aren&#8217;t a fan of [...]]]></description>

Let&#8217;s be serious for a minute &#8211; it means that it&#8217;s so indefinable that it&#8217;s impossible to do justice [...]]]></description>

It might be possible to see how [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I owe the idea of extreme etiquette to an American writer and to a World War 2 novel which he wrote
Sadly, I can&#8217;t remember his name, or the title of his novel, which is pretty unforgivable as it&#8217;s a good book.


But basically one of the characters in the book, a GI who has been deployed [...]]]></description>

The bizarre fashion for wearing colourful overalls passed quite a while ago, nobody apart from house painters with a nervous or [...]]]></description>

First, I sketched an arrow on a piece of paper and wrote next to the arrow the words: &#8216;I am going around&#8217;.
I always do this &#8211; draw arrows [...]]]></description>

Maybe it&#8217;s because it was so unusual to have a boat stop instead of a bus stop or a train stop. Because it was so unusual, maybe I was making a point of remembering it, collecting it for the future, so [...]]]></description>

The train ride to the cemetery, on the Paris `Metro&#8217; transit system, is pretty disappointing, the entrance to the cemetery is pretty disappointing, the route to the grave is pretty disappointing and the grave itself is pretty disappointing.
The view from the train ride mostly seems to consist of cheap [...]]]></description>

It has elements of what is sometimes called the &#8216;human condition.&#8217; This can describe any of the conditions which humans experience, but this story describes the human condition of optimism, or rather misplaced [...]]]></description>
