Inspired by this site, the crew over at Troppo Armadillo have started some interesting discussions of Tintin, Asterix and cognate topics such as postmodernism and English teaching. Well worth a visit.

‘…started some interesting discussions..’
Started? I think it’s in the second half of extra time, if not the penalty shoot-ot. Just about everyone (except the tireless junior Bahnisch of course) is keeling over with cramps and exhaustion by now.
I think it’s been a valuable debate, James, but you’re probably right that after almost a week it’s running out of steam. I’ve got the week off thesifying to take care of some personal business (and feed my blogging addiction), so I’m about to put up a post on something completely unrelated.
But the most important issue of all remains obstinately unresolved: beard over or under?
On the topic of unresolved issues, what about top posting vs bottom posting for comments contributed to email discussion groups?
