Kiki, Rica, Ríchar, Richi, Ricky all abbrevations for Ricardo, no dicks involved. And another thing, Dixon of Dock Green was called George, on your basis Otto (see below) would be a Dick. This is subverting the Dick, and the dick pic.

On the way back to Berlin dropped in at the home of Karl Marx in Trier. Got a smile from a Chinese visitor when whistling a few bars of the Internationale. Herewith the chair in which Marx did much of his reading and in which he is said to have died. Also Marx "merch".

Thanks for this. A refreshing change from the mix of anti labour partisanship from left and right. Articulate and realistic. I was getting a stiff neck so I used Libreoffice Draw to put it upright.

It seems odd that the BBC, a sophisticated broadcaster, did not grasp that the clothing issue was just a component of the confected ambush that the presser itself was; a usable pretext not an actual offence. If its alright for the Pope then it should do for a gangster!
