Number Six

Latest word of the week:
Fisticuffs!

A wonderfully old-fashioned word best used, of course, in the musical 'Oliver'. But I've discovered that the night of my birthday, December 11th, is going to be something of an International Festival of Fisticuffs, with at least two boxing world title fights scheduled for the occasion.

I'm not particularly into boxing. So I like the idea of describing Danny Williams as contesting the World Heavyweight Fisticuffs Championship with Vitali Klitschko. Brings a smiley - biggrin to the chops.
