| Message | Mr Speaker, "Going on a sympathy strike" is a very Pontesian* way of saying "using other people making noise as an excuse for staying home from work and relaxing in a sofa drinking beers". We would like to see this practice prohibited. Pandora Fahramar The Good Foreign Affairs Spokeswoman *OOC: to be read as a Werin Da-ish replacement for "Orwellian" |
