Conflating previous remarks in the thread:
[...]It's always been a mystery to me why we tolerate the appalling
pretensions of the stage-struck as to their activities. Some of them,
even have the temerity to call it 'work'." [...]
[...]it has been a mystery to me why we tolerate the appalling
pretensions of the book-struck as to their activities. Some of them, who
spend far more of their time in libraries and studies than on assembly
lines or construction sites, even have the temerity to call it "work".
[...]
I blame that Ben Jonson bloke who started this thread circa 1616. What
did a quill-pusher like him know about carrying a hod....eh?
Best wishes,
Graham Hall

Dear David Evett,
Codswallop, as we in the critical theory workshop's experimental

now called 'working'?
