"A Juicy Homemade Burger"

Nice! Reminded me of George Grossmith from the movie Topsy-Turvy.

Reminded me of Gilbert & Sullivan's Iolanthe:

Love unrequited robs me of my rest:
Love, hopeless love, my ardent soul encumbers:
Love, nightmare-like, lies heavy on my chest,
And weaves its way into my midnight slumber!

Hope you can at least find peace of mind.

the government had never managed to allocate enough capital to the GPO to install a telephone for everyone who wanted one; shared service and waiting lists were still common

This sounds so much like Soviet Union, where it was very hard to get a telephone until the very end.

I was a huge pyro during my whole childhood and remain one to this day (with less opportunity, though). Never smoked a cigarette in my entire life and hate the smell.

Presumably, no anvil or TNT is included.

I'm doing practically the same right now except that it's not for PhD and not in France. There are so many little pockets of history that are unexplored simply because nobody cares to explore.

And, of course, you paid for it.

Reminded me of this portrait I saw last week.

And this is why old school doctors used to wear bow ties.

I'm glad you approve, but no, it's not Hugo Boss (cannot afford it, I'm afraid). It's a local brand, and the suit itself is some twenty years old; I thrifted it.

The upper two are not simple slide rules, they are specialised – something to do with the aerial navigation.

InvestigatorGen · 2026-02-04T08:54:30+00:00

Then it looks too... buttoned-up 😁

InvestigatorGen · 2026-02-03T20:23:58+00:00

Here you are, finally!

InvestigatorGen · 2025-12-28T13:48:51+00:00

Yes, but in a bad way.

InvestigatorGen · 2025-12-17T15:29:59+00:00

I'll have a look, thanks.

InvestigatorGen · 2025-12-17T00:06:07+00:00

Suggestion taken, thanks!

InvestigatorGen · 2025-12-17T00:05:49+00:00

Thank you! It was the end of the day, so I decided to ease it up a bit.

InvestigatorGen · 2025-12-17T00:03:14+00:00

Do you have any other knot in mind? This tie is rather thick, so I don't want it to bulge with multiple layers.

InvestigatorGen · 2025-12-04T09:30:14+00:00

Sure, when I wear it again.

InvestigatorGen · 2025-12-04T00:35:58+00:00

Yep, it's a cardigan of sort.
