The Sussex Royal website is a clear attempt to establish a parallel brand (based on royal privilege) to Windsor.

Not sure what the interest in the royals or their peripherals is. Perhaps some sort of 'macrocosm reflecting the microcosm' or 'the personal being political' or prognostication for the country based on their movements rather than the flight of birds or animals intestines. Rich peoples problems. I su...

On consideration it was probably Searle.

In any case my internal components are in their assigned positions - in whole or in part I am not in any sense trans.

All my internal organs are right where they should be. Slightly foxed but still desirable in the words of the great Thelwell.

And to your very good health, one and all.

It was from the from Merv Griffin show, and the other guest was a white congressman (whom I didn't recognize) representing the not-so-black power point of view.

So, is anyone really surprised by this?

Some (rather unkind) people are characterising Rubin as a grifter, but the alternative explanation of him being more than a little dim might also apply.

I had some passing experience with an Optimist, but never really identified as a Swallow or an Amazon.

Anyone else watching The Mandalorian? Yes, I know, it's Star Wars/nerd porn but at least it has a good cast, is pretty diverse (can't believe I just said that) and so far, it has been pretty faithful to the SW universe.

You'd not be the first to make that comparison.

But as it is so often in life the truth turns out to be stranger than fiction.

The destruction of female sports is utterly vile.

As is sporting activity in general. It all went to pot once they took poetry ou...

It could be one of those post-modern terrorist groups - in which case motive would not apply.

I wasn't really thinking of that modern stuff.

I'm thinking of something off the beaten track - so probably not Kipling or 'The Ballard of Ned Kelly'.

If you have a link to a youtube recital of it, or an alternate downloadable audio file that would be good too.
