Recommended Posts

On Star Trek: The Next Generation, during one of the big Borg episodes, Captain Picard broodingly muses something along the lines of, "I wonder if Honorius, as the Goths approached the walls of the city, really understood that Rome was about to fall."

The fascinating witches

who sew scintillating stitches

in the britches of the boys

who put the powder on the noses

of the faces of the ladies

of the harem of the court

of King Caractacus

are just passing by.

 

Caractacus being the Cheiftan of the Catuvellauni tribe at the time the Romans invaded Britannia.

There was a program on tv a few weeks ago that discussed modern orgies, largely instigated by wealthy, unattached women and the anonymity of the internet. One talking head said that these somewhat select groups weren't orgies in Rome, more like group sex in Romford.

 

. . . it brings to mind the 'Romford' episode of Chelmsford 123 . . . ."Lovely, lovely Romford!"
