There's an 'Excalibur' related bit of magic waiting in your inbox, don't let the Gargs get their talons on it, or there'll be hell to pay!

Fantastic! Thank you!

(Would it alarm you to know that I actually learnt the original phonetically in the '80s? I'm not sure it was deliberate...just the result of watching the video a few too many times in quick succession. Went down a storm at parties, though. Which probably says rather too much about the sorts of parties I used to go to in those days.)

It wouldn't alarm me because I did exactly the same thing................. it's surprising that we didn't bump into each other at said parties. It's also rather effective if you have to 'mock' curse someone, usually christian, who's being a pain in the arse and trying to 'convert' you!

Indeed. I'm just sorry that the early '80s skullcap revival failed to take off, despite the best efforts of Messrs. Williamson and Von Sydow.

I think the skull cap is still a fashion item on 'Galifrey', nuff said!
