Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

I wondered if, perhaps, de Gondi was utilizing some obscure metaphor when he referred to the Glass Seagull Act.

I have heard it as Seagall, Segall, so Seagull is close enough.

I wrote off the top of my head or maybe slightly above the amygdula, w/o looking it up. Perhaps I have an association down under with glass seagulls, a memory image. I'm very bad with names and it's getting worse with age.

I don't know how many times I have googled 'Glass-Stegul' or some such variant to come up with the correct spelling. That is my recourse when spell check doesn't work or seems questionable. Google is a better, more flexible checker.
