Springtime for Roper

'In the spring, Jeeves, a livelier iris gleams upon the burnished dove.'
'So I have been informed, sir.'
'Right ho! Then bring me my whangee, my yellowest shoes, and the old green Homburg. I'm going into the Park to do pastoral dances.'

The Eve of St Agnes

Apparently if maidens do not look behind them when going to bed tonight, they will dream of their future husband. I discovered that tomorrow is St Agnes' day, and that today is therefore the eve of that feast, while looking for excuses to serve cake at work tomorrow.

 

What can this mean?

'Britain's shoppers have increased the amount spent on bacon to more than £1bn in the past year, figures show'

Lolinator

I should use this blog to give the world my opinions on the great issues of the day, such as the Martin Amis and Terry Eagleton controversy, the twenty-first century version of  C.P. Snow versus F.R.Leavis confrontation of my childhood,  or the government's mislaying of child benefit data
Instead of this I have been amusing myself with mangling my institution's home page with Lolinator: http://lolinator.com/lol/www.sussex.ac.uk/
