lol it was 'word of the day' last week and I really like it; even though I did not know the true meaning at first. I got corrected and now I think I'm using it properly. The meaning is: -

1. A complicated and embarrassing state of things.
2. A confused or complicated disagreement or misunderstanding.
3. An intricate, complicated plot, as of a drama or work of fiction.
4. A confused mass; a tangle.

Jon, I'm the same with "genufluct" - I love it! Was my word of the day a few years back and am using it all the time :lol:

For someone that spells very well I didn't get that one right!

Sorry Silvia, it's :

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]genuflect[/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] \JEN-yuh-flekt\, intransitive verb:[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
1. To bend the knee or touch one knee to the ground, as in worship.
2. To be servilely respectful or obedient; to grovel.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]After graduation I talked my way into a job at Ionic Development Corporation, a legendary place in Cambridge on the Charles River, a huge brick building with a lobby the size of a cathedral; every time I walked in, I felt as if I should genuflect.
-- Daniel Lyons, Dog Days[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]People worship capital, adore its aura, genuflect before Porsches and Tokyo land values.
-- Haruki Murakami, Dance Dance Dance (translated by Alfred Birnbaum)[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Chen said recently he was proud to be a Chinese, a signal to Beijing that he is willing to be conciliatory. The communists, however, apparently want him to genuflect more unambiguously.

Do you often genuflect before Ben then? ;)
 
I find it odd that there is no mention of these strikes on the news or on any of the news websites i.e. bbc or sky news, nor is there any mention of it in the papers...

The only strike they mention is about south west trains from waterloo on the 27th 28th and sometime in august....
