RE: Corin's view of Spain:
The History of Sarcasm
"Sarcasm has a rich and ancient history. From the time when cavemen said
"unk" when they meant "eeunk", it has been part of human tradition. The
earliest recorded sarcastic comments date from the time of the Ancient
Greeks, when philosophers would say really quite biting things about
triangle theorums and the like.
However, it was the Romans who really made sarcasm into an art form. Horace,
to name but one of the great authors, wrote innumerable satires and epistles
which were as filled with sarcasm as a football match is with surpressed
violence.
Sadly, with the fall of the Romans, sarcasm laid fallow for some
considerable time, reappearing Europe-wide with the Rennaissance. Its
renewed popularity led to the writing of many a sarcastic play, some so
witty that the actors in them developed puckered mouths after only 10
minutes on stage.
In Britain, in particular, sarcasm flourished, and has continued to do so
ever since, except for the brief period between the reigns of Charles I and
II."

Wow, sounds like sarcasm has been around longer than jellied eel.

I was just there recently and stayed at a B&B in Tufnell Park. I found
the place through this site: http://www.welcomehomes.co.uk
I think we paid around 18 pounds each per night - dirt cheap...
