I follow someone that posts historical photos and stories about my hometown, Southampton in England. Recently, he posted a story about a man that was arrested for being drunk and disorderly in 1939, just before WW2. In his defence he had said that Mr. Hitler had been "on his nerves" of late.

So many moustaches...I'm surprised that there aren't more beards. Apart from the influence of the King, surely some of these men were ex-Navy? But then I googled for sailors in 1914 and got no beards again!

They are probably starting to panic. The mid-terms may become a bloodbath for the Republicans.

Fingers crossed.

People that want to make everything grey need help.

I was traumatised there by the Welsh National Opera's "Madame Butterfly" in which the petite Japanese wife was played by an enormous woman, and the strapping American captain was played by a ginger-haired chap who looked about 4'6" tall. Took me over 30 years before I could try opera again.

Perhaps they have a better education system? Interestingly I did not see a single Scottish flag there in the published images.

Really, England is an immigrant concept, a thin veneer of a language over a population which is genetically mostly what has been on the island since the Bronze Age. If they were true nationalists they would be all speaking Brythonic or Gaelic.

It is deeply disturbing to have *anyone* deriding the concept of empathy, but when these people call themselves Christians it's sickening.

Well those Dark Age folks had to get their swords from somewhere...

She came across as being a silly undergrad in the trailer. Not like this woman at all.

Let's hear it for masons!

Yes. I haven't seen "The Dig" I think partly because the trailer makes it look like a romance, and partly because it makes Stuart Pigott look so much older than his wife at the time. I looked it up, he was two years older, the actors have a 20-year difference.
