One element of the Jarma hive mind talked about his favoutite Amis instances of doubled language. Here's one of mine that seems particularly approriate on his 50th birthday...

From *THE RACHEL PAPERS*:

"Don't I do anything else but take soulful walks down the Bayswater Road, I thought, as I walked soulfully down the Bayswater Road.

Very well: demonically mechanical cars; potent solid living trees; unreal distant-seeming buildings; blotchy extra-terrestial wayfarers; Intense Consciousness of Being; pathetic fallacy plus omnipresent deja vu, cosmic angst, metaphysical fear, a feeling both claustrophobic and agoraphobic, the teenager's religion."

PS - I prematurely posted before (was that really a month ago?):
