The Last Ditch by Tom Paine

Now that the blog is being sailed out to battle again I have been
battening down the hatches. In its occasional role as a
travel journal, it had become a bit cosy in appearance and the
sidebar had been put into storage. One of my tasks for the day is
to tidy up the “favourite posts” list in the sidebar and
delete out-of-date items. In doing so I have been re-reading the
posts and have formed a view as to my overall favourite. For the
benefit of newer readers, here
it is.

It’s been a long time since I visited the mischievous pal in
Swansea whose party inspired it. Perhaps I should ask for a
rematch?
