Some might.
Just stay clear of rooms with a cloche of plastic on all surfaces.
You can have ménage back when you apologise for “relooking”. There are plenty of perfectly good English words you can borrow without making up silly ones.

I LOVED that song when it came out.
Aren’t those Celts?
First GIS images for “Picts”.

It’s a watercoloring of Theodor de Bry’s engraving of “A True Pictish Man”, I think. Er, and woman.
Very fanciful, more based on de Bry’s encounters with American Indians than anything else. 1500s according to Wikipedia.

Every Andrew Lloyd Webber musical is constructed around exactly one good song. That’s the formula.

Wait, Andrew Lloyd Webber didn’t write Chess. That was Tim Rice and those guys from Abba.

“I was misinformed.”
I stand corrected. In my defence, Rice was involved in no less than six Lloyd Webber musicals, so that’s probably why I had filed Chess under AWL mentally.
I also explains why Chess has more than one good song.
But then again, I’m more a friend of the classic American musical.

For the last six weeks or so, on my way to and back from work, I have been walking past a billboard advertising “Starlight Express” and its 30th anniversary. Using lightyears as a unit for time.

I hear that Skimbleshanks made the Kessel Run in less than 12 dog years…

The Picts were long gone as a culture by 1500, despite the fantasies of some Scottish nationalists. It was mostly Anglo-Saxons and Celts by that point.
I grew up close to Scotland (basically within walking distance). I would guess that isn’t woad making their skin blue. Then again, I used to wear t-shirts in December up there, which worried my Southern English friends.
