The Logic Off Topic list

OK, I hereby abandon all attempts to explain my weak little funny and give
up on the whole thing as a bad idea which looked crass. Sorry all round.
My mum thought it was hilarious when she told me. Something to do with
coming from Irish peasantry, perhaps. As for my dad's side, there were
rumours that there was wealth in the family which was lost in the Russian
Revolution, so maybe I'm part Romanoff and have to seriously swallow my own
words.

BTW, I don't want the Russian Imperial Crown, if anyone wants to give it to
me...
