Of superheroes, gentlewomen, "killer" courtiers, nutjobs, moose and biology

Goodnight, Rose.

Another snippets post today, dear reader...

• Royal gossip news: RIP, David Sassoon, couturier to the Royal Family (and other stars). Apparently, during a fitting at Kensington Palace, he threw open the door of Princess Diana’s sitting room - and knocked over three-year-old Prince William. “Oh, my god, I’ve killed the future King of England,” he recalled thinking.
• Holy handiwork, Batman! Two policemen dressed up as the Caped Crusaders to arrest criminals operating illegal gambling on Westminster Bridge.
• Bereft gentlewomen news: After 140 years in circulation the upper-class equivalent of Cosmo, The Lady magazine has ceased publication. Now where am I going to look for a respectable butler for Dolores Delargo Towers?
• American lunatic evangelist news: Airport scanners turn you gay, according to a self-proclaimed "Christian Nationalist" podcaster in that bastion of common sense, Tennessee. He calls them "gay beams". I call him "sectionable".
• Moose on the loose news: A surprise TV hit show has arrived - bizarrely it is 24-hour coverage of the annual mass migration of moose/elk across Sweden!

• And finally - shock news: A woman is a woman. Doh!

Chaka Khan - I'm Every Woman

And the weather? Colder than we have been used to, but at least there's no rain on the horizon for the long Easter weekend!
