Jolly Good
My favorite quote from the Daily Cal today, from Yvonne Ridley, some Brit held in Afghanistan by the Taliban who then converted to Islam or some such:
They were decent, they were honourable, they were kind to me. I'm not sure there are any situations where you can describe the folks who hold you against your will as "kind." Still, the really interesting detail here is the spelling of "honourable." If this is a spoken quote, as suggested by the Daily Cal, did the Daily Cal actually edit the spelling to be British to match the speaker? Or is it a different word than "honorable," which is somehow listed as its synonym at dictionary.com?
