Blige!

There is only training springs to mind!

I'm hosting a koryu course in October (zero politics) - anyone interested?

Bob,

No one could accuse you of being succinct but I think you got there in the end!

Lets hope people start signing up for the seminar now.

Off topic.

No, I meant "Blige" - it's a London thing innit!?

It's a compounding of the words "Blimey" and "Gees" as in the son of god!

God blind me - Cor blimey - blige

Hi Gary,

my understanding is that Cor blige is a much eroded religious entreatment of ' If God will oblige' much like the Italian 'Volente deo'. While Cor blimey is an oath.
