Once again Angela occupied the chair and was presented with another badge for her collection.
It was one of those cosy evenings with just sufficient numbers to pay the rent.
It started to rain outside as Angela led off optimistically with 'You Are my Sunshine'.
We all joined in enthusiastically.
Then:

Paul and Tony discussed cognitive dissononce.
A badge was awarded for a rude song, although Lynda, in all innocence, had not realised the possible rustic metaphor of her song. Dogsbody's obscure interpretation of 'The Streams of Lovely Nancy' was hotly contested.
Angela thought Bill was funny, so he got a badge.
Having exhausted our supply of awards for being rude, Tony had to content himself with a badge celebrating 'free association'.
A chronicle of 'doings' for posterity... and other things of little consequence!

"cognitive dissononce"? Cognitive, I understand, but the strange compound noun derived (apparently) from 'nonce' (particular or express purpose -Shakespeare; the occasion; the moment) is as familiar to me as the neural-processes in the genus Turtonus Simplexiae.
Well, that's what I heard.
I didn't understand it then.
I still don't!
(Anyway, spell-check was happy with it.)
Is a man who relies on the Microsoft spell-checker to be trusted with so much as tying his shoe-laces? I have my doubts...
Do I detect a motion of no confidence?
Put it to The House.
