It would depend on the context, I think. I have a quite helpful guide to letter forms in secretary hand - DM me an email if you'd like a copy.

Found on one of Meta's many evil sites.

Indeed. ::stuffing fist in mouth to avoid typing spoilers:: Madame la Maréchale was only in her 30s, BTW. DD is a little cruel to her.

Loved this cartoon about The Count. #BinfortheWin

Another good reason for abandoning the hellsite. Not one of these existed when I checked.

Spanish ladies in chopines. The skirts stop above the level of the shoes.

A pair of chopines. Clearly someone was expected to be able to see them despite the floor length gown. They look angled like Barbie shoes, but yellow.

An actual chopine. Fancy but still silly.

Chopines, the fashion that makes platform shoes look feeble.

Sign of the times?

Just to jog your memory: "Free health care". Actually available throughout the UK. And it's not hypocrisy to vote differently. It's called democracy.

Front page of a London paper today. Isn't this illegal? If not, it should be. (The buying of the page - it's not editorial content.)

"A surfeit of lampreys" is what I grew up being taught. Or, of course, in Sellar and Yeatman's unparalleled classic reference volume:

WTF?

Anybody else see Brian Blessed flying to the rescue (of the poor, bedbound hostage) in the background. "FLASH IS ALIVE"

In the UK, spare a (malevolent) thought for Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, who is heartbroken. Yup, it's time to celebrate.

A splendid time was most definitely had!

Here's an example:

Me in a different century. The past is a foreign country. The castle is Caernarfon - Edwardian. (That's Edward I, of course.)

Nice collection. But I wouldn't call it a lot. This is just one corner of the room I'm in. It's a tiny fraction of the total books we have.

Why AI can be dangerous.

The One Ring belches forth paramilitaries? Not sure the designers fully thought this through.

Farage. Yes he's a joke. Yes, Reform is a bad idea. But it's nastier and more evil than that.

Played with Photoshop. As the Doctor said, "Don't you think he's looking tired?"
