You've let the cat out of the bag now! I was saving this resonant example for a surprise future post - to be called something like 'Out on a limb with St Jim' or 'On eating beefburgers in Burgos'. Oh, well, I'll just have to truly astonish you all by writing about the influence of the rococo on medieval Spanish vernacular architecture instead.

One man's camp is another man's kitsch is another's trash... All I know is there's more to life than Wagner and 'The Merry Wives of Windsor'. And your glow-in-the-dark Santiago cockleshell motif car deodorant looks just fine... I suppose it’s in the eye of the beholder!

The very imaginative possibility of the idea of you 'mincing ' your way to 'Brighton' like some 'limping', 'drug-addled', 'gay hussar' made me chuckle. The opium-fuelled walks of Coleridge and De Quincey had nothing on this! Re 'Trash' - I've always wondered - when does 'awful' become so 'awful' that it's... just... well... completely bloody 'awful'? Great post.
