Ince or Lawrence, who do you prefer?

Heb is it compulsory to wear a vest before you can look at a lettuce?

Shakespeare has little to offer on this unfortunately. But a useful guideline for us all

“For God's sake, lettuce sit upon the ground
And tell sad stories of the death of kings;
How some have been deposed; some slain in war,
Some haunted by the ghosts they have deposed;
Some poison'd by their wives: some sleeping kill'd;
All murder'd: for within the hollow crown
That rounds the mortal temples of a king
Keeps Death his court and there the antic sits,
Scoffing his state and grinning at his pomp,
Allowing him a breath, a little scene,
To monarchize, be fear'd and kill with looks,
Infusing him with self and vain conceit,
As if this flesh which walls about our life,
Were brass impregnable, and humour'd thus
Comes at the last and with a little pin
Bores through his castle wall, and farewell king!"

Dlck the second. Didn't help him much.

I think this wearing of vests to look at lettuce is probably a presbytarian thing. They probably wear blindfolds in the bath.

"Lettuce sit.......'"

Brilliant Vidal. Quite brilliant

Just got up Heb?

Who's just got up Heb?

Scouse apparently.

I thought the pentadactyl widow would be your preference.
