The poster for Paris Opera's new production of La Bohème.
Nostalgists like myself like to think of the past as a gentler, more innocent time. We're kidding ourselves, of course. Here's an advert from 1968 for BOAC - the state airline - effectively advertising sex tourism.

Wordsworth’s “Immortality Ode” in limerick form: In childhood ‘tis easy to feel Th’eternal suffusing the real, But as the beholder Gets steadily older, It doesn’t seem such a big deal. (I wish I could lay claim to this masterpiece, but sadly, it’s anonymous.)

I read an old blog post on “Don Quixote” (I won’t link to it) where the blogger says they found it “disappointing”. Hmm. But it’s not really “Don Quixote” that’s on trial here, is it?

For my bedtine reading tonight, I read how Sherlock Holmes recovered the Black Pearl of the Borgias. What a delight to enter that fictional world again, even after all these years. Key insights? Bugger key insights!

The problem with my watching “University Challenge” these days is while I’m still saying “Hang on … I know this …” they’ve already answered a half dozen more questions. I used to have very quick recall once upon a time. Ah, the ravages of… er… …of old age! Them’s the words!

Don’t listen to those who say there are no such thing as ‘British values’ (or ‘English values’). There are many important ones, and it is reasonable to have limits on migration of those wholly opposed to these. ianpace.wordpress.com/2025/08/26/wha…
