Extraordinary Rendition?
It’s such an unusual term… ‘extraordinary rendition’. One might, not so long ago before it hit the headlines, have expected it to mean a bravura performance by some operatic wonder, or symphonic instrumentalist.

bish, legion and blogging all!
Just out of interest, I wondered if this new site had managed to get into the google listings yet. So many bishes out there, all blogging away like nine-pence! Shuffle up lovelies; room for one more at the back… Oh, and yes, I was eighth in the list – not bad for the first week.…
