Happy St George's Day and Shakespeare's Birthday!

Apparently there are moves to get an English National Anthem:

It was discussed on PM on R4 by that nice Eddie Mair and is subject of blog:
On this St George's Day, we're toying with an item for the programme tonight about whether England needs an anthem of its own - as opposed to God Save The Queen which is the UK anthem. We'll try to post some tunes here later.

Hope you all had nice Saint's Day...

American Paddles - For Blighty

:)) I 'googled' and first non-commercial entry was my blog! :))

Good old wiki! I found this there:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paddle_%28spanking%29

A spanking paddle is a usually wooden instrument with a long, flat face and narrow neck, so called because it is roughly shaped like the homonymous piece of sports equipment, but existing in more varied sizes and dimensions, used to administer a spanking to the buttocks; it would be too hard and heavy to use safely on the back.

As there is quite a market for paddles in regions where paddlings are still (or again) administered in hazing or education and in family households, as well as in erotic spanking, there are companies which cater for one or more of these markets, often in combination with other items (disciplinarian or not), for fraternity/sorority, home, and erotic use, but most of the terms and names these use are rather arbitrary. There are also various roadside and resort novelty shops that sell paddles (small and large); these are often decorated with humorous motifs and instructions such as "Board of Education," "Heat for the Seat," "How to Paddle Your Wife," and "Frontier Tail-blazer."
