		<description><![CDATA[Not surprisingly, translators and interpreters and &#8220;personnel of international organisations&#8221; (not budget-hungry Eurocrats, surely?) constitute the largest groups of publicly acknowledged signatories of this call to wage war on mounting European institutional mono- and trilingualism (English, French, German) and promote the language of Julio Iglesias. (Via Carlos Ferrero.)

(Brendan D Lynch&#8217;s Triumph of the Red Devil: The Irish Gordon Bennett Cup Race 1903 claims, however, that the roots of the English exclamation &#8220;Gordon Bennett!&#8221; lie in the dubious commercial practices of Irish hoteliers.)
