wilfully evil sod. willfully evil sodomy. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=SOD&defid=237654 The meaning 'sodomite' is a little old fashioned. More typically it's used as a softer form of 'fool', 'idiot', or 'bastard'. "He's a daft old sod, but you've got to love him." I'...

...you do not feel that your foundations will be threatened. Anyone coming from that angle is a wilfully evil sod. I am perfectly happy to have my foundations threatened as long as the discussion is logical and courteous. I have not seen the slightest evidence that you have the capacity to engage i...

I don't have it to hand, and never compiled a bibliography - sorry. I know that Richard Gordon has something to say on this, but for some reason can't find his site this evening! All the best, Roger Pearse UPDATE: Found it! http://www.uhu.es/ejms/faq.htm "David Ulansey is a case in point: a fa...

Instead they want to have the right to eject people for not showing sufficient reverence to their Queen. Or simply sufficient reverence for their belief systems, methods, attitudes and the whole she-bang. I am reminded of my time in Singapore. Many people there believed they lived in a truly free s...
