One certainly hopes so. It was quite an achievement to build arguably the ugliest stucture in Toronto, such competition, such a carbunkular effort.

Carbunkular?

I think you coined one there. It deserves to be in the BE lexicon.

Finally, David Cameron most certainly was elected, by the voters of the Witney Consituency, and overwhelmingly as well. The fact remains, simple and glaring: a member of a private dynasty should not have a veto over parliamentary legislation. never mind public subsidies like his 60k one night in Jersey etc.
Ah, I see where this is going. This is not about reading what I said, it's about reading INTO what I said that which will really piss you off despite whether it's true or not. Fair enough. Not my sort of convo.

The record is clear enough if one reads through these posts. If you don't mean something then don't clearly imply it. Implication is a totally valid form of expression and shouldn't be hidden behind or used to obfuscate points.
