Re: John Lobb stuff
FNB - The trouble is that the peasants became revolting and armed themselves. Yeats put it very well:
The beggars have changed places
But the lash goes on.
From Jack Buchanan to Noel Coward, Rex Harrison, Cary Grant, the English Gent (not the i-gent, who seems to be a curious American/Oriental reinvention) set the example, which the rest of the world has emulated; it is evident in the naval and military uniforms, still current. These things derived from an acknowledged elite, which, FNB, you affect to despise; yet youu still seek out the same patterns that they used. Kindly explain your precepts, before you blow off more quasi-commumist spume!

The door bell game is called 'ding dong ditch', by the way, and is just about a worldwide phenomenon.

^ Very good. Manchester City sneaked a win at the last ditch and old red nose also managed to win at The Arsenal.
An American scored a hat trick in the Premier League for the first time and, even though he is from Texas, he is not a loud mouth or a braggart. He is very modest man whose talents usually do not get the recognition they deserve.
