Pindaric ode = Ceremonious poem
Perhaps we could get Armand to write one for TR’s wedding speech
I can see Boris reading this out. It’s right up his street. Mind you Janus, I think you could have written the equal. (I loved your table-cloth corners on the Swift poem!)
PS Perhaps we could get Armand to join the Chariot!

NB the puns on Bolt and Coe, among others.
AND Armand prefers the American spelling of skillful too!
