Givot Olam - Gordon MacMillan, Twitter. ron_broxted November 13 2024, 15:20:50 UTC

I gave up after 5 mins of "Wolf Hall" as they had black ladies in waiting. Henry was an athlete until he gave into snacking between banquets. His suit of armour as a young man far slimmer than his last "hoist me on to that hoss" one which I saw at the Tower of London. Zola? Genius. I read "Germinal" to impress Fiona O'Doherty-Goldberg (not her real name) at university. Books? I got one for Xmas, like a good (part) Icelandic boy. It is the first leisure/pleasure reading in years. Nearly all legal/police corruption stuff.

Wolf Hall is brilliant. And yes, NYC's Metropolitan Museum of Art also has contrast-and-compare young Henry and old Henry panoplies. (The word "panoply"-which now means "collection"-originally referred to a suit of armor. 😀)

But aren't you safe now? Though I do admit I enjoy that you don't whine or complain much. I'd give you a little more space for some whining, however, if you'd like to.

I'm excited about this new Mantelpiece. What platform did you find it on?

I never feel safe. Ever. Sad but true fact.

Mantell-piece!! Love it. 😀 I got it off a peer-to-peer network. Hasn't been released in the States yet.

The Russian bots like roadkill, too.
