Beare on traitors and rugby players being adorable.

Lovely article in the Telegraph today (which I can't find a link to) about the Lions players who have a farming interest and who've spent their bonuses on new trailors for their tractors. Can't imagine footballers doing that!

Beare is relating an adventure involving Will Shakespeare, Good Queen Bess, Kit Marlowe and a load of bad jokes. First bit to be found on the Lords of Aether site.

They still wear those robe things with a ruff. Do you suppose he did then?

I have been reading about their school-days. Leaving aside the issue of the beatings-- which everyone thought were so good for them-- they had long days. Pretty much 6 or 7 am to 5ish. With time off for lunch.

Teachers must have been worn out too, by the end of the day.

Kyd never did college he had a good grounding young though, he went to Merchant Taylors which was, like, down the street from him.

A world of little boys. It must have been so lively. Most kids around here walk to school, or take the city bus, or subway. There are few yellow school busses in NYC. Sometimes I see them playing and laughing on the way to school, with bookbags, and lunches, and I imagine the long ago past...

*nods* Kids here rarely take a school bus until they're 11, so the school run is a wonderful time.

I wonder what choirboys wore then? Can't think of any contemp type paintings featuring them.
