Yeah, I just had to include this news piece dredged from the gutters of modern journalism.  Hopefully, it will raise Dave's spirits during his convalescence.

And if you are wondering just how this item, which is a mere 200 years old, qualifies for this Forum, I would point out that the rather good quality illustration is, in fact, a parody of the Judgement of Paris from Greek mythology.  So there!

I suppose it's a change from a decorated tea towel, or a tacky mantlepiece ornament
