Recent discussion in the Independent's pedants'r-we column (inexplicably unavailable online) as to the absence or presence of a hyphen in the middle of 'tiddlywinks' further reminds me of another recent text from Andy where the fact that he did, in fact, use a hyphen somewhat paled beside his deeply politically-incorrect use of the word in close relation to his presence at (or absence from) Soho's celebrations of Chinese New Year...

Having opted to make Blogadoon's pictures bigger, I had to increase the width of the column.
