Crumptales: What the Dickins
May 12th
I met a friend Holly for lunch today, lovely food, great company and a good catch-up. Holly had been at the National Portrait Gallery and gave me a lovely postcard with a picture of Charles Dickens on the front (see below). I thought nothing more of it and returned to the office for a fun filled afternoon.
On my way home and not 10 metres from my office door a suddenly say this sign in my peripheral vision…
How weird is that – I’ve walked passed that sign hundreds of times and never noticed it. Then today my little overloaded brain which filters out so much information suddenly locked into seeing the words ‘Charles Dickens’ – crazy stuff.
Modern living: Your Tory name
May 2nd
We have an election here in the UK next week. I’ve already cast my vote both in the local and national election (with a postal vote). I didn’t vote Tory (aka Conservatives, a right-wing party for the non-UK readers) but this game came up at a dinner party…
Your Tory name is made up of the following:
- Your grandfather’s first name
- The name of a street you have lived on
- The surname of your school headmaster or headmistress
The fun thing is that based on these rules there is a bit of flexibility (two grandfathers, more than one street and at least two head of school surnames), so you get to play a bit…
My Tory name is Frank Langley-Weaver, although I prefer Alec Trinity-Wilkinson.
Great people of Britain make sure you cast your vote.
