I've been asked to proofread a short, fact-based article about two local cheesemakers because neither of them can read it with going into a frothing rage. Why? Because their families had bad blood from the dissolution of their partnership.

In 1948.

I am trying to come up with a pun on "Hatfields and McCoys" using cheese names instead for over an hour now but I am too ignorant.

Open source people often quote the Kissinger line, "Academic politics are so vicious because the stakes are so low," and note that their stakes are even lower.

Then, we learn, there's cheese.

There's a remark about "When cheese goes bad..." that is lurking in the undergrowth.

They're not Welsh perchance?

My ma once droned on re how unpleasant the father of an ex-school pal of mine was - with a painfully detailed story of his rudeness when working behind the Post Office counter, as if it had happened a coupla weeks previous. I asked, amazed: 'But, hasn't he retired by now?'. She replied, as if stating the obvious: 'Oh, that was twenty years ago'.

I grew up in North West Wales.

With us, the old saw is that the only thing upon which two dog trainers can agree is what a third trainer is doing wrong.

But geez - 1948? What can you do to cheese that can make someone hate you for half a century?

As I mentioned elsewhere, on my f-list, this post sits right next to

As I mentioned elsewhere, on my f-list, this post sits right next to <lj-user "spoonfeeding">'s heartfelt haiku.
