    (Apologies about the plural abuse, by the way; just noticed. OK if we let it stand?)

                            Given there are barneys springing up in World like brushfire festurng those old favourites the catholic church and Israel Palestine can I join in by pointing out that I thought the last clue was unfair. "The way cockneys say" should surlely have been "the way cockneys speak" otherwise the definition doesn't make sense.

                              I reckon I disagree; I think it's a small stretch, and that without it the surface reading is destroyed altogether. So fucking have THAT, you Zionist Catholic bastard.

                                      Yes I take the point that the intransitive use of "say" is unidiomatic. But in mitigation, it's not unknown: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/say?s=t&ld=1086 includes the following:

                                      verb (used without object)

                                      10.
                                      to speak; declare; express an opinion.
