Wash ,'Ariel'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
The whole article depends on fixed concepts. They just drew their line in a different place. Not as harmful a place as many, but why keep a subjective line in the first place?
Dream big, man.
I love this comic [link] because that is just perfectly awful.
Jesse, I don't know if this [link] is the right tone, but it is sweet (oh, and lock up your meds, people). This [link] is all-round great, though.
I think it's clear enough in the sentence, but does the minister have another title you can use?
You guys, I feel like a scam artist: I held my expired coupon out to the woman behind the cash register at CVS saying, "I think I'm too late to use this?" and she gave me the discount anyway!
I feel you on that, Suzi. I only have a half hour left at work,so I have decided not to ask anyone if they have anything I could do (as I would normally when I am idle) because nothing ever takes half an hour.

Well, I guess that's what I'm asking -- is there another title that would describe someone who works in the Foreign Office? It's a review of a book I haven't read, so my knowledge of the specific character being discussed is nil.
eta: but I'm glad you think it reads OK as is.
That first link wasn't there anymore, ita. But I followed them!

Oh, I hoped it was an actual person and you could find out they were the Undersecretary for Belgravia or whatever. In general, I think the well-read American would know what it means.
Maybe say cabinet minister to clarify? If that's even right, but maybe some sort of specifying adjective would help.
OK, that's good to hear. Maybe I'll keep it for now and see if my boss trips over it whens she reads it.
Timelies all!
Yay for house, Dana!
Jesse, sorry--tried to pare the attributions too far: [link]
They might not be a cabinet minister, Kate, but they are a government minister, in the most general of senses.
