The collected opinions of an august and aristocratic personage who, despite her body having succumbed to the ravages of time, yet retains the keen intellect, mordant wit and utter want of tact for which she was so universally lauded in her younger days. Being of a generation unequal to the mysterious demands of the computing device, Lady Bracknell relies on the good offices of her Editor for assistance with the technological aspects of her journal.

If I


  • worked in the "Policy&Professionalism" department of a large public sector organisation; and


  • sent an email containing the salutation, "Dear Director's"

Torture is indeed illegal in the UK, but it seems extraordinary rendition abides.
