There's a sign on our water cooler at work saying "Out of service. Waiting for spare parts." At what point do parts become "spare" - or at what point do they become not spare. It seems if something isn't working and needs parts - these parts are not "spare".
The same way that a diary kept by a young girl which may be crucial evidencein the case against an elderly cult leader accused of child sex crimes could perhaps no longer be billed as "secret diaries" if content from them is released. Prosecution has apparently objected to Defence copying entries from the diary for "reasons of privacy" according to today's report in The Daily Telegraph. No mention was made as to whether copies of the relevant passages/entries/excerpts had been made available. (Isn't English a funny language? Or maybe it's just me. I am reluctant to use the words "passages" and "entries" in relation to a sex case!)
