He, Paul, or Gabriele, or G.'s daughter,

just give me a chance!

Nowhere to find 'Monkeyhanger', 'twocer' and 'numpty'.

I got 21/25.

Twocker actually comes from Taking Without Owner's Consent, not Taking With 
Out Consent.

I didn't get alans or egg chasing.

Good quiz, though!

Go raibh maith agaibh,

That's some consolation, because those three were among the ones that I
missed. At least I knew what the brass monkeys stood for...

Wow. I don't know much at all about the intra-Cornish rivalry, but just as 
an outsider, looking at the different
orthographies, KK seemed to me to make the most sense.

Could you recommend a good book on the history of the Cornish revival? 
Something interestingly in-depth and not too
terribly biased (everyone has bias, but I'm not sure whether I'd be able to 
spot the bias in a book on a subject I'm not
terribly familiar with), preferably.

Go raibh maith agatsa,
