It is a bit of a find, isn't it? So let me add my thanks for your brilliant detective work Charles. I've always been intrigued by what they served up at the fabled Hungaria, so, with gratitude, I'll be off in a moment to google those recondite dishes. However, I can't share your delight Darren at th...

Brook, being in possession of the King’s Commission, should have known better and acted accordingly. Rape was more than frowned upon by the British officer class of the time. Although the British other ranks did, notoriously, indulge in drunken sprees of rapine against the Spanish peasantry in the...

What I always thought an ill-advised wager was DW's devil-worshippers betting their Jermyn Street shirts on Satan winning the Gold Cup (or at least his trying to do right by his followers). You'd have thought educated blokes like that would have at least a passing acquaintance with Revelations or Fa...

Yes, infra dig is hardly in common usage. It's a bit of pre-war upper crust slang. I think I picked it from one of those 'humorous' books about social class that seemed to do the rounds back in the 80s. There's an interesting article on Italian profanities in Wikipedia. Porco Dio gets the expected m...
