Oxford landing

I found this at about 5/6 in the morning, on a burgeoning sunny day in Oxford about two years ago. I would love to know what kind of behaviour renders an apologetic lion card necessary, never mind what kind of behaviour is so extreme that the card is bitterly discarded in the street.  Do you think it's THE Matilda?  I've noticed  a running theme in these cars is that of bad behaviour, or generally being in trouble..
The time I found this was quite a strange night/day actually. Oxford university is like a parody of itself...champagne glasses litter the lawns, people at parties dressed in subfusc (those weird gowns..) can stay awake by the power Talk alone, and for the record, croquet is really hard and really unenjoyable. Tally ho!

Cause and effect / Coarse and effete

(For ultimate satisfaction, read to...)





Oh dear dear, do you hear the hired thugs at the door?
This could well be a reality for poor Mrs Chris Eubank - IF ONLY SHE EXISTED.
Yes, it appears middle England filth peddlars Mills and Boon make their money (I had been wondering about how they did it) via conning old women  - and yours truly - into thinking they can get free laughably bad 'novels', before sending in the old shit-up letters.  It's a good thing I hadn't sent the books to the particularly oft-crotchety friend I had initially intended to.
Do you think this is worth £13.40?
comments on the back of a doily please,

Anger special!

Here's a couple. One I found recently outside a school near by..glad to see the traditions still going strong, although my own typographic analysis concludes the silly boy/girl did not go for the 'collumns' technique, effectively dodging the brainwashing aspect of the activity; an tactic of subversion which Marden High School grew all too wise toward, adopting a cruel and unusual demand of 'paragraphs' instead of lines.

The other scrap was rammed through our door some after..well it explains. We did indeed never have a party again in that house, and the lady even apologized for the note, and gave us her old telly. She was a good egg really, way nicer than the condom-accusation side.

Oh and I saw this band last night they were very good!
