2) Old legal rule: "If neither the facts nor the law support your case, pound the table."

5) My parents had at least one child under 6 for 14 consecutive years, and sometimes as many as 3 at once. This was deliberate, too, so one wonders why they did it. (Being a child over 6 in the middle of this for 9 of those years was no picnic either.)

6) Never mind that he's a war criminal, I don't think anybody should be allowed to receive a knighthood who, if he had one, would be called 'Sir Tony'. Those two words just don't go together.

Would "Sir Anthony Charles Lynton Blair" have a better sound?

I do enjoy Sophia and Gideon, both of whom are under 6. But they are definitely a lot of work. And you have my sympathy for being in the middle. I'm fairly sure that as an eldest child I had it at least somewhat easier.

He hardly has to use the middle names. But "Sir Anthony" sounds dignified, yes, like "Sir Anthony Eden," despite what he did with it.

6) I think that "Sir Tony Hart" would have had a lovely ring to it.
