And then there's the bloke on Antiques Roadshow: Bargain Hunt and his rainbow specs. AR is a goldmine for glasses generally. The most glorious British history toff I've seen in recent times was an Anglican priest who liked to be filmed roaming about various desolate ruins in a great flowing cloak, with Byronesque breeches and shirt unbuttoned. His name escapes me right now and I wasn't overly fond of the show, but my mother thought it was marvellous.<BR/><BR/>Wish I'd caught the Prewaphaelites!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492889481663521911.post-86982093547727705682008-01-10T12:10:00.000+11:002008-01-10T12:10:00.000+11:00Maybe the singer had a lisp, and actually meant to...Maybe the singer had a lisp, and actually meant to be singing - <BR/><BR/><I>The Rhomboids of Wimbledon Common are we... </I><BR/><BR/>Speaking of which, I'm reminded of a program which I have wanted to mention twice in the past few days, but completely forgot about, both times. 'Twas an archeological BBC episode ('Time Team') focusing on a place in London inhabited by pre-Raphaelites. (It had been built over by a department store). The expert on the pre-Raphaelites interviewed in this program featured Trotsky-ite glasses and beard and possibly even a beret - and had the most pwonounced upper-class lisp you could imagine. His field of study was the 'Pre-Waphaelites', and their wevolutionary ways!<BR/><BR/>Not sure if it was the same episode that featured the tongue-twistingly tewiffic line: <BR/><BR/><I>The river Wandle, wending its way...</I>TimThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10333303180015967125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492889481663521911.post-49590606974430226072008-01-10T11:38:00.000+11:002008-01-10T11:38:00.000+11:00Good old Youtube!<A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrDiW00__C4" REL="nofollow">Good old Youtube!</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492889481663521911.post-8189456101710594302008-01-10T11:17:00.000+11:002008-01-10T11:17:00.000+11:00The Internationale pales in comparison, indeed.
