There is only one cure for grey hair. It was invented by a Frenchman. It is called the guillotine.
We sympathise with “Anemone” in reference to the “red noze” which she says she wishes to get rid, especially as it “swells dreadfully”. We should recommend her not to part with it, all the same.

Never ever ever
N probably had a goldmine of edgy quotes from ancient history in his head, rehearsed them daily with le internal dialogue, and constantly looked for the right moment to wake up random people at 2am and cite them like this
Happy birthday to Sir Walter Scott, born on this day 15 August 1771. Our #WalterScottPrize for Historical Fiction was founded to honour his achievements as founding father of the historical novel. #otd #onthisday
Napoleon Bonaparte was born today in 1769 in Ajaccio, Corsica. He was the fourth child born to Carlo and Letizia Buonaparte, and the second surviving son. Letizia was attending mass at Ajaccio Cathedral for the Feast of the Assumption when she went into labour.
Well, there it is. That’s Jeeves. Where others merely smite the brow and clutch the hair, he acts. Napoleon was the same.
He looked haggard and careworn, like a Borgia who has suddenly remembered that he has forgotten to shove cyanide in the consommé, and the dinner-gong due any moment.
On this day in 1792, French revolutionaries carried out the "second revolution," storming the Tuileries Palace and massacring the guards. Napoleon himself witnessed these events, and would later call it the worst battlefield he had ever seen.

Complete and utter defeat for the anti-test crusaders
We are totally shocked and appalled that our business model of hawking puberty blockers to desperately unhappy kids and their worried parents is now imperilled.
@ThatchGer1 I think actions speak louder than words, & Napoleon choosing not to fight on in June/July 1815 is something I really respect - he had the scope for what would ultimately have been a futile campaign based on the troops Grouchy pulled out of Belgium. Instead he accepted reality.
"Courage is almost a contradiction in terms. It means a strong desire to live taking the form of readiness to die." Gilbert K Chesterton
But there’s something else great civilizations share: “Vigour, energy, vitality: all the civilisations—or civilising epochs—have had a weight of energy behind them,” Clark says.
Ultimately Clark says that flourishing civilizations have two things beyond a base-level of material prosperity: confidence and belief. “confidence in the society in which one lives, belief in its philosophy, belief in its laws, and confidence in one’s own mental powers.”
Clark tells a story by Greek poet Cavafy, in which he imagines an antique town that waits for barbarians to come and sack the city. After a while, the barbarians move on and the city is spared. But the people are disappointed—destruction would have at least been interesting.
Decadence, moral degradation, and lack of belief in something greater leave a society questioning the point of it all. An aimlessness pervades society that is often only quenched by civilizational suicide.
Finally, a civilization dies with exhaustion—the “feeling of hopelessness which can overtake people even with a high degree of material prosperity.”
When traditions and rituals lose their connection to what inspired them in the first place, they become the performance art of a dying civilization. Cultures need to believe in something.
