The picture above is a still from Alan Bridges&#8217; 1985 film The Shooting Party, based on Isobel Colegate&#8217;s novel of 1981. James Mason plays Sir Randolph Nettleby, landowner, enthusiastic bird-shooter, and budding pamphleteer. John Gielgud&#8217;s character is giving him some pamphleteering tips, having had his tract on animal rights printed by an “anarchist in Dorking&#8221;. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Fond as I am of inconsequential yet somehow intriguing facts, I was delighted to learn from today&#8217;s paper that the mother of soon-to-be-a-gaolbird Lib Dem MP Chris Huhne used to be the voice of the speaking clock.

		<description><![CDATA[Today is the first day of the Muggletonian Great Holiday, celebrated on the third, fourth and fifth of February each year. On those three days in 1652, the tailor John Reeve (1608-1658) received his commission from God, and was told that his cousin Lodowicke Muggleton (1609-1698) was to be his “mouth”. Reeve learned that he [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last April I posted a plea for help. For thirty years I had been incapable of deciphering part of the lyric of Capitalist Music&#8217;s titanic masterpiece “Jane&#8217;s Gone To France”. Several readers tried, but failed, to work out what on earth the great Steve Bloch was harping on about, and were equally as baffled as [...]]]></description>

In cities, do social meetings abound? and what are their purposes and character? Are they most religious, political, or festive? If religious, have they more the character of Passion Week at Rome, or of a camp-meeting in Ohio? If political, do the people meet on wide plains to worship the Sun of the Celestial Empire, [...]]]></description>
