There are masses of them around relating to WW 1. In the UK a few weeks ago I picked up three volumes of nothing but Punch cartoons from the 1840s/50's that had been published in the <br />1880's.

Today is the fourteenth consecutive day of triple-digit temps here in Houston so it's only natural that I plan to grill some steaks and crack open a bottle of red this weekend. <br /><br />Not only did I find the Hochar, but my local shop just started carrying Barritt's ginger beer. Perhaps I'll shelf the Hochar and pound Dark n Stormys all weekend.BCMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349290550527925310.post-42612937066522091322011-08-11T12:48:15.999-04:002011-08-11T12:48:15.999-04:00Hilarious!
