lasting spell Explanation: lasting spell a spell that lasts longer A talisman which has a longer effect. But here it is sounds more realistic and correct to use the term Spell than the Talisman. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2013-02-28 16:14:50 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The budget call by Ahmadinejad was delayed and did reach the house on time, so the spell for delay could stay in place. |

4 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1(his) jinx stayed in place Explanation: The whole sentence would need to be reworked for this to read like proper journalistic English: "With his jinx for being late still in place, Ahmadinejad's latest budget did not arrive on time in the Majles." |
