Juventus have purchased the full transfer rights to Luca Marrone from Sassuolo, while Federico Peluso heads in the opposite direction.
Marrone spent last season at Sassuolo on a co-ownership deal, but the 24-year-old will now return to the Juventus Stadium.
The Turin side have paid €5million for full ownership of the midfielder, with Marrone - who has represented Italy at Under-21 level - signing a five-year contract with the Serie A champions.
"Juventus Football Club and Sassuolo have today reached an agreement on two transfer deals concerning Luca Marrone and Federico Peluso," read a statement on Juventus's official website.
"Marrone, who spent last season on a co-ownership agreement with the Neroverdi, will return to Juventus after the club paid a €5million fee for the remaining 50 per cent of his transfer rights. He has signed a five-year contract."
Peluso initially joined Juventus on a six-month loan deal from Atalanta in January 2013, before making the full switch in June of the same year.
However, the left-back has failed to become a regular in Antonio Conte's starting XI, and moves to Sassuolo for a fee of €4.5million, to be paid over three years.

The Bund City Sculptures
There are a number of statues, sculptures, memorials, towers and about 50 historical buildings alongside Bund on River Huangpu in central Shanghai. This is the best place for visit in late afternoon. There stand on eastern side of the Bund alongside Zongshan Road the magnificent buildings of different European architectural styles including Gothic, Romanesque, Baroque, Classicism...
A must-visit in shanghai! Beautiful buildings, great light. But if youre going go around sunset and stay there when it's completely dark, you'll see the beautiful stages of the scenery
The charm comes out at night time - it is great to see these sculptures which reflects the history of the city - I think it would be better if they added say a tress corridor or cover parts of the bund in flowers and plants - much needed to promote environmental awareness so forgotten in this country. I love...
A nice area to look over PuDong with it's Oriental Pearl Tower and the other tall buildings! I went on a raining day and the clouds presented a view that is very different and worth seeing.
A beautiful place to visit. Traveled during the day and it was so pretty but you must see at night. The lights look so beautiful. You have he modern on one side and the old on the other side of the Bund. A lovely walk even just watching people pass by. cc
Old buildings and perfect lighting on them paint a colonial type of feel when looking at the sculptures from The Bund. Truly a must see in the evening. There are a lot of photo shoots happening so don't be alarmed at all the ball gowns! There is a river cruise but I drove around by taxi and walked the rest...
Colonial Buildings at their best! In the day the buildings are grey and not anything special. At night they are lit up with gold lights and it looks like something out of Vienna! it is beautiful and graceful, You will see many people taking wedding pictures.
Something that cannot be missed in Shanghai is an evening river cruise to see the dramatically lit architectural delights that compose the "sculputres". A 45 minute trip costs very little, and is truly spectacular. Shanghai is a city of architecture. On one side of the river you see buildings you might see in London. On the other side, are the...
I'm not sure if this listing is about The Bund itself (which is listed seperately) or about sculptures.
There are a few statues and sculptures around here. Does this listing refer to the Bull, the two lions Stephen and Stitt outside the old HSBC building ?
The two bronze lions are very well made.
did a river cruise at night great to see the contrast on opposite banks of the river. A must see at night

Hey now…where on earth did you find those peach pits??
This is so wild!! I have never, ever seen the wooden bead page before…I went there and still no peach pits!! No wonder they call you Smart Chick…you got me completely baffled??!! Where are those @#$*&^@$*#$@ peach pits?!
Pardon my language!
I'm waiting……..
Hello…can you hear me knocking on my computer screen??!!
when I want peach pits for a pick, I find a pick w/ pits, and click on them & add to my pick. Dont know how else to find them!
Thanks Bubbly Chick….Smart Chick must be away from her computer. You've been here longer than I have…do they ever carry wooden beads? Just curious…
I've never seen any, except the pits! I had to answer, was afraid youd break the computer screen, then we couldn't chat anymore- hee hee!
okay elaine and lorrie, I originally found out about these way silly peach pit beads and lovely iris green coin pearls from Picks that both funny chick and CAS did about beads that are "out of stock" here at LB that they want LB to have again!!!! So I clicked on these in their picks and put 'em onto my wish list! You can click on any bead in our Picks and see if you can put 'em into your Picks… dunno why I can do this w/ some of LB's "out of stock" beads and sometimes I can't – like I can't put the lovely iris green teardrop pearls into my Picks, aaauuughh… and yet I can w/ the iris green coin pearls – which are "IN STOCK" but NOT listed in the "pearls" section???
Smart Chick…I see you made it here back to this spot. That's right, I do remember seeing those green coin pearls in picks but never in the pearl section. I will have to try that with other out of stock items! Thanks for the tip…I hope you know I was just goofing around with my comments earlier…there really are no dents on my computer…hehehe!!
That is so good to know! See, thats why you are Smart Chick, Joyce!!
hey elaine, glad to hear there's really no dents in your computer – I'm surprised I didn't have any due to the infamous LB easter egg contest, LOL… by the time it was over I know I was Cross – eyed… ooohh another Pick…
I know…this search for those darn peach pits made me have flashbacks!! Hehehe!
Interesting, smart chick, that you have paired the (usually) free ubiquitous peach pits with the deliciously expensive (and GORGEOUS) iris green coin rondelles. Yes, I have the peach pits but have NEVER thought about using them with the iris green coins. Thanks for the tip, smart chick! LOL! They go together surprisingly well!
Great pick, Joyce! Like Debra (and most all of us!), I have the free peach pits and haven't used them yet. I'm getting some great ideas today!

WinMo was actually one of the reasons I got it. My experiences with the Motorola Milestone (Telus version) weren't pleasant at all, especially for media playback. The HD2 is blazing fast on AT&T's 850MHz HSDPA+.post #5449 of 59495/17/10 at 8:00pm

Since when did AT&T have HSDPA+? Are thinking of T-Mobile?post #5450 of 59495/17/10 at 8:32pm
AT&T has been rolling out HSDPA+ since earlier this year, alongside its program to blanket 250 million subscribers with 3.5G HSDPA by 2010. It's part of its plan to combat Sprint's 4G marketing.post #5451 of 59495/17/10 at 9:32pm

Didn't know that. I'm guessing you're using a Canadian version of HD2 since it supports AT&T's 3g bands.post #5452 of 59495/18/10 at 4:23am

I still use this Creative Zen Nano as my daily DAP as it has line-in recording, which allows me to make field-recordings using electret mics at 160Kb/s.
I bought it new when it came out, it was this or the Sansa Clip. I read here that they were both good but the line-level input made me go this way.
I hope to see an RMAA made by DFKT that shows the quality of the sound reproduction and it's "sound signature" (has it been done already?).
(It took me almost 5min to figure out how to attach these photos properly to my post. Bloody forum "upgrade"...)

What is that clear gooey stuff you cover the mini bridge with?post #5458 of 59495/18/10 at 3:16pmQuote:are you going to cover the contacts?
I'm not planning to do it, the bridge works and there's no interference as it is. It's my first attempt anyway, I'll learn as I go on (any advice will be appreciated).Quote:What is that clear gooey stuff you cover the mini bridge with?
Product of a mediocre photo, everything's clean as it should be.
Thank you both for your comments :)post #5459 of 59495/18/10 at 3:31pm

I recently purchased this beautiful one story home in Dunes West, one of Mount Pleasant, South Carolina's neighborhoods with resort lifestyle amenities including golf, tennis, swimming, gym, boating, and club house. Near grocery stores, fine dining, movies, shopping, and only 15 minutes to Isle of Palms Beach. 30 minutes to historic Charleston, voted the #1 vacation destination in North America. This home is available for lease, fully furnished and equipped so come to play or come to stay. Try out the Mount Pleasant Lowcountry Lifestyle for a year or try my 3 bedroom furnished condo by the week or longer.

Enermax NAXN ADV 650-Watt 80 PLUS Bronze Power Supply Review
The front of the packaging gives us little information other than the 80 PLUS rating and wattage of the unit.
Moving to the back of the box, we find a list of features on the left side. Note that it only specifies the main capacitor is Japanese. This almost certainly confirms that we are going to find some Chinese or Taiwanese caps on the secondary side of the unit.
Sliding over, we find that all of the cables are of the flat ribbon type. Also pictured is a Nippon Chemi-Con cap to illustrate the point even further that the main cap is Japanese.
This side of the box gives us a decent list of connectors available with the three models of the NAXN ADV lineup, but doesn't give us cable quantities or length.
The other side provides us with all of the I/O specifications for the NAXN ADV power supplies.
Both the top and bottom of the unit lack any useful information.

Navy Ship Maintenance:
Allocation of Ship Maintenance Work in the Norfolk, Virginia, Area
NSIAD-99-54: Published: Feb 24, 1999. Publicly Released: Feb 24, 1999.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-8412
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Navy's declining ship maintenance workload, focusing on: (1) the Navy's policies and procedures for allocating ship maintenance work to public and private facilities in the Norfolk area; (2) ship maintenance and modernization funding obligated to the Norfolk Naval Shipyard and private ship repair companies during the fiscal years (FY) 1994 through 1998; and (3) the extent to which the Atlantic Fleet's ship maintenance program has been affected by the movement of funds out of the ship depot maintenance program since FY 1994.
GAO noted that: (1) the Navy's allocation of ship maintenance workload in the Norfolk, Virginia area, is guided by legislative requirements and established policy objectives, such as retaining a certain level of public sector capability, allowing sailors to remain at their home ports when shorter repairs are being done, and achieving economic and efficient public depot maintenance operations; (2) during FY 1994 through FY 1998, private shipyards and repair companies in the Norfolk, Virginia, area received proportionately more funding for ship maintenance work than the Navy's Norfolk Naval Shipyard; (3) among the private sector activities, Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Company has received the largest portion of ship maintenance funding in the Norfolk area; (4) funding obligated to other smaller shipyards and repair companies has fluctuated from year to year, with the greatest change occurring in FY 1998 when these companies received proportionately much less of the annual ship maintenance funding than in other years and also received less than initially scheduled by the Navy; (5) this was largely because: (a) the conventional workload that traditionally goes to these companies is declining; (b) scheduled maintenance and operational requirements changed during FY 1998; and (c) four conventional maintenance projects originally scheduled to go to the private sector were reassigned to the Norfolk Naval Shipyard to stabilize and achieve more economical and efficient operations at that public shipyard; (6) the Navy did move appropriated funds from its ship depot maintenance account during FY 1994 through FY 1998; (7) however, the Atlantic Fleet received a slight increase over the amount budgeted for its ship depot maintenance program during this period; and (8) consequently, the movement of ship depot maintenance funds did not reduce the amount of funds provided to the public and private sectors in the Norfolk, Virginia, area.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Election Day
After months of campaigning, the 2012 election concludes today.
For some there will be a sigh of relief. No more automated phone calls during dinner. No more negative ads. Yard signs will soon be removed. But for all the political distractions, it's critical to remember the importance in voting. Many have fallen on the battlefield to preserve liberty, and the opportunity to vote in free and fair elections is one we should never take for granted.
The presidential race is the major draw for most voters. While it's important to vote for the man we believe should be commander in chief, there are several other races and issues that also deserve our attention.
Statewide contests in Missouri include races for U.S. Senate, governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, secretary of state and treasurer. In Southeast Missouri there are races for state representative, state senate and county offices.
Four statewide ballot initiatives will be decided. Amendment 3 deals with how much influence the governor should have in deciding who sits on the commission that selects court nominees. Proposition A gives the city of St. Louis control of its police department. Proposition B increases taxes on tobacco products. Proposition E would require the legislature or a vote of the people to establish state-based health insurance exchanges.
Jackson voters will also decide on Proposition 1, whether to raise the city's sales tax one-quarter of one percent to fund the operations of a community center and other park improvements and operations. In Gordonville a question on the ballot asks voters if the board of directors of the Gordonville Fire Protection District should be increased to five members. Proposition A in Marble Hill will ask if a sales tax previously passed should be designated to the general fund instead of capital improvements.
Campaigns can be divisive. This year is no exception. In reality this is nothing new. Campaigns by their very nature offer contrasts. Voters are tasked with deciding where they stand on issues and which candidates best represent their views. However, after all the votes are tallied it will be time to do the people's business. The country faces many critical issues, and it's the responsibility of our leaders to govern for the betterment of our country.
Tomorrow a prayer service will be held from 11:45 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the event room at Chateau Girardeau. The service is organized by the Rev. Jeff Long, a retired pastor formerly of Centenary Methodist Church in Cape Girardeau who now works at Chateau. U.S. District Judge Stephen N. Limbaugh Jr., Cape Girardeau Mayor Harry Rediger and Jackson Mayor Barbara Lohr will all speak. This will be a time to come together in prayer for our country and leaders.
Polls open at 6 a.m. and close at 7 p.m. For the latest election news, go to semissourian.com and read Wednesday's Southeast Missourian.

The Tweed Pig Break
The place is Here, The time is Now
Up until a couple of days ago, it would be safe to say that the image on The Beach (above) by Chrissy Angliker — plate 26 from the Tectonic Plates collection from our great chums at The New English — fairly, and rather charmingly, captured the reality of the British seaside in summer. And then the sun shone and the months of damp and darkness were instantly forgotten.
Whatever the weather, it's time to rest on my oars, chaps. The gates of Tweed Towers will now close until September and everything with an 'on' button will be switched off.
Oh, sacrament of summer days.
Have a wonderful summer and stay safe.

Gin Delivered
Gin Delivered
I shuffled to the front door this morning and found the first consignment of gin had been delivered for summer. It's Tanqueray No. TEN, which is blended specifically for martinis and comes in at a robust 47.3°. The gin is hand-crafted in small batches made using whole citrus fruits, and is described as a full-bodied gin.
What a beautiful bottle, gentlemen. The award-winning design was created by Design Bridge. The design references a 1930s cocktail shaker, and uses a light green glass that brings in the light. At the base of the bottle you will see a lemon squeezer shape inside. The cap represents a citrus grater. Your drinks trolley will be enhanced no end by nestling one of these lovely bottles on it.

Black Tot Day with Pusser's Rum
Splicing the Mainbrace
Today's the day the Royal Navy ended its tradition of supplying a daily ration of rum to sailors. The 31st of July is known as a Black Tot Day. The Queen is still allowed to issue an order to splice the mainbrace and provide sailors with a measure to reward good service, which she does.
The bos'n piped Up Spirits for the last time on this day in 1970; the tradition ending disappointingly on health and safety grounds.
You may not keep up with your own daily tot, but today, if any, deserves a drop of Nelson's blood in your veins. Pusser's remains the rum of choice at Tweed Towers, as it was for the Royal Navy. Remember we tried their 15-year-old rum? Absolutely splendid stuff.
Pusser's also produces Overproof (top), a high-strength rum made for layering in a cocktail like a Rum Runner. Overproof comes in at a manly 75% alcohol by volume, and is only available in Germany, apparently — until we petition our local Pusser's rep that is. I'm no killjoy, but it probably is best to avoid operating machinery after a couple of measures of this one.

Summer Slip-Ons
What Hath Night to Do with Sleep?
If I dreamt of heaven, it might well be in the image of a transparent sea calmly lapping at the shore on a fine summer's night.
What would I be wearing on my feet? you ask. I would be seated wearing a pair of slip-on shoes in unlined leather (to absorb the sweat when going without socks), gin in hand. Such shoes would mean seamless navigation of a heavenly summer's day and night. You can wear them to the beach, on to the restaurant, continue to the club, and then wherever you find yourself afterwards, and never look out of place — the word is versatile. Who says heaven has to be impractical?
I suspect these horsebit loafers — with classic hand-sewn beef roll moccasin construction and welted sole — will be scarred and battered from all the summer activity, as they should be — so for this purpose, it's a capital idea to avoid investment-grade shoes that can't take the merry-go-round.
Summer tip: Load up on unlined loafers of every denomination and colour and keep them on standby for getaways.

The Barry Lyndon Imperative
In the name of God, Go!
The BFI tells me that Stanley Kubrick's 1975 masterwork Barry Lyndon is being re-released in cinemas from tomorrow. I insist you see it in all its painterly glory on the big screen at venues listed here.
2001 a Space Odyssey bores the trousers off me; I enjoy the style and lingo of A Clockwork Orange, but Barry Lyndon is Kubrick's finest colour film — and often described, rightly, as one of the greatest films ever made. And what colours! The film captures the light of Britain so well — much like another great favourite at Tweed Towers, The Draughtsman's Contract — with Kubrick agonising over each painstakingly-assembled shot and insisting on filming in natural light, and by candlelight in some scenes, inspired as he was by the paintings of Gainsborough and Hogarth.
Barry Lyndon is based on the novel The Luck of Barry Lyndon by William Makepeace Thackeray. The plot is divided into two acts that describe the rise and comeuppance of Barry Lyndon (played by Ryan O' Neal), an Irish fortune-hunter trying to integrate himself into English society in the Georgian period. The novel was based on the life of Anglo-Irish adventurer Andrew Robinson Stoney.
Kubrick included some of his favourite classical music in the soundtrack, none working better than the use of Handel's glorious Sarabande in the title music.
A wonderful film that demands three hours of your company. In the name of God, Go!

Day at the Seaside
"And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer." F. Scott Fitzgerald
I've been looking forward to our annual summer coach trip to the coast for yonks, though it takes some organising. Such larks we had last year. Remember those splendid pork pies we brought from Fordhall Farm (England's first community-owned farm)?
This year we travel in a rather racy-looking Harrington Cavalier in Southdown's famous green livery.
This is the British coast, so with a considerable chance of rain and gloom this year I would recommend a more muted wardrobe than, say, a trip to Laguna beach.

Sounds of Summer
A Quiet Life
The Sounds of Summer returns with a triple-bill that spans the decades, but has one thing in common — it won't disturb the drowsiness of bathers on their sun loungers or overawe the droning bees slurping away in nearby flowerbeds.
As Bertrand Russell was keen to bang on about: 'A happy life must be to a great extent a quiet life, for it is only in an atmosphere of quiet that true joy can live.'
C Duncan - For
We've had our eye on Glasgow's C. Duncan for a while — he wears some decent tweeds and his debut album was nominated for a Mercury Music Prize in 2015.
This song could easily fit with the Music to Button a Cardigan By series, but For has a nice sunshiny feel to it, too. And there aren't any drum solos or any bangs and crashes to make anyone jump up with a start if they're half-asleep in the summer heat.
Pink Floyd - Grantchester Meadows
Tired of the pap churned out by producers and lip-synced by air-brushed airheads, the kids return to real music played by ugly musicians with real instruments from a time when pop stars invented themselves. Rock is back.
Well, not quite — this song by Pink Floyd is more akin to From Gardens Where We Feel Secure, the pastoral evocation of high summer in England by Virgina Astley.
The droning bees make an appearance on this one, so they will be more than happy to hear it.
Astral Pattern - Sitting in the Sun
A slice of dream pop from London-based Astral Pattern completes the three. Sitting in the Sun shimmers away nicely as singer Melissa Rigby sings softly about sitting in the sun — and rather appropriately given the context.
I think Astral Projection may have ceased to be a band last year, but we're left with a nice little addition to our summer collection.
Quiet, please.

Summer Book Club - Ashenden: Or the British Agent
Undercover in the Summer Sun
Ah, summer, my favourite day of the year. We really only need a slim volume for the Summer Book Club (British humour). Joking aside, it's good to read a little, but not enough to hurt us, so we have a one-book only rule for the club each summer.
I considered À Rebours and the timeless appeal of aesthete Jean des Essientes turning his back on the barbarity and vulgarity of the modern world to live a life of splendid isolation — attractive. In the end, I've gone with Ashenden: Or the British Agent this year — more our style.
Ashenden was written by W. Somerset Maugham in 1927 as a series of interconnected short stories relating to the eponymous secret agent. Ashenden is considered to be the archetype for a certain Mr Bond and other literary spies that followed. (Ashenden's boss is only referred to as 'Colonel R', for example.)
William worked as an agent for British Intelligence in the First World War. His reputation as a writer and his worldly disposition gave him good cover in the field. In short, he had some insight into the subject matter of his novel, which is considered to be a thinly-veiled (if exaggerated) memoir; so much so, in fact, it is rumoured that fourteen additional short stories were destroyed in the national interest on the recommendation of Churchill.
Because it's Maugham, and because of the time it was written , the prose style and character studies should be excellent. We also get to travel around the world at a languorous early-twentieth century pace — to Geneva, Naples, Paris, Petrograd — with the manners and customs of the time. Of the titles in the collection of stories, I'm particularly intrigued by The Hairless Mexican and The Traitor.
Of the novel, the Daily Telegraph wrote: 'Thoughtful spy novels began with Somerset Maugham's Ashenden, featuring a detached hero on a journey to disillusion, a process brought to its apotheosis by le Carre via Greene.'
I'm looking forward to it.
Tweed TV - Ashenden
The BBC produced a four-part series based on the novel in 1991 starring Alex Jennings in the title role, with the wonderful Joss Ackland and dear old Alan Bennett co-starring. I think we need to take a look at this too, chaps.

Tweed TV - David Bowie's Ice Cream Oddity
The Pop Ice Cream
Here's a clip of David Bowie promoting Luv ice cream in 1969. The advert was directed by Ridley Scott with music by the legendary Alan Hawkshaw.
Bowie, Scott and Hawkshaw would imply timeless classic, but the advert feels more like an ice cream oddity. I can't stop humming the song though.

Throw on the Towel
Towelling Clothes for Serious Inaction
Orlebar Brown have added more items to their towelling clothing range with the Tavish (above) — the result of a collaboration with Rake magazine. Tavish is a towel jacket with white piping and all the accoutrements of a standard summer jacket - buggy lining, sleeve buttons, patch pockets - but it's made from towelling. Sophisticated with a dash of decadence or should that be with other way around? They say we English regard sophistication as decadence anyway.
Have you worn clothes made from towelling? Do try it. My first time was on a trip to Biarritz where I found a shop selling vintage beach clothes. I bought a navy towelling polo shirt that had red and white stripes on the sleeves and hem — so very comfortable. Gone but not forgotten.
Since that time, towelling has always played a part where beaches were involved. And Orlebar Brown have been the supplier of choice in recent years.
Here we see Orlebar Brown shirts and shorts primed and ready for serious inaction. They look like they want Tavish to join them.

Men Wearing Sandals
Do it with Your Socks On
Men's sandals have a bad reputation, certainly the proliferation of Velcro-fastening, flip-flop based abominations passing as sandals. They're impostors when you compare them against the classic styles.
Remember the desert sandals (or chapplies) worn by the tough-as-nails Long Range Desert Group in the Second World War?
The desert sandal is perhaps a bit too rough-and-ready for our tastes — a better bet would be the closed-toe sandal, which let's in the breeze but doesn't reveal anything potentially unpleasant to the eye.
The sandals you see here are from Paul Smith in soft and supple stone-coloured leather, with leather lining, and copper buckles. I think there's something very modernist about them. They deserve to be in a Style Council video. Perhaps because they look a bit like a bowling shoe.
The sandals are also very similar to the ultimate sandals by John Lobb featured in a Day at the Seaside.
Fashion commentators mostly dismiss the socks and sandals combination as a crime against humanity. Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts. Closed-toe sandals should be willingly worn with socks (though they don't have to be): and such sandals deserve proper socks, not those silly 'liners' that you see poking out of training shoes.
In muted tones you might get away with wearing them on a hot and sultry evening in Rome:
But they're really built for summer colours and a daytime saunter in Llandudno with an ice cream in one hand and a pot of cockles in the other:

Squire Haggard - I'll Fight Your Tailor to the Death
Deplorably Funny
I have a copy of Squire Haggard's Journal somewhere, but now I can't find it. This is a shame, as it's a great read and out of print as far as I can gather. The introduction I looted online gives you a flavour:
A bawdy parody of a late 18th-century gentleman's diary. Amos Haggard is a gargantuan, warty toad of a character. Along with Roderick, his idiot sidekick son, he carouses with prostitutes, imbibes copious amounts of wine, evicts the poor and fires his pistols at poachers, dissenters and foreigners.
Squire Haggard's Journal was written as an epistolary novel by Michael Green in the form of diary entries. The book was first published in 1977. As well as Three Men in a Boat, Squire Haggard's Journal is a comic standby at Tweed Towers.
I also located a sample diary entry, which gives you a flavour:
Sept. 30: Drizzle. Grunge, who at times has a Philosophick turn, does not approve of
my smuggled brand V barrel. 'One day, sir,' he said, 'there will be no barriers to trade
and the smugglers will be out of business. I foresee a time, perhaps in about 223 years,
when all Europe will be one; when trade will pass unhindered between all States
without the imposition of excise and men will sail to Calais and return laden with as
much French wine as they can carry. Yet no Revenue Officer will hinder them.'
At this my face grew stern and I spake harshly. 'Let me never hear such sentiments
again in this house!' I cried. 'Mark my words, the day this country allies itself to those
mincing pederasts, papists and dancing-masters in Europe will see the end of all we
value. Our golden sovereigns will be replaced by groschen or livres; our roast beef
supplanted by fricassees; our lives subject to the whim of envious French officials. I
would pay double, aye treble, for brandy rather than see that happen.'
Tweed TV - Haggard the TV Series
I have no quarrel with you, sir, but I'll fight your tailor to the death.
The quote above is from the comedy TV series Haggard, which was written by Eric Chappell — Rising Damp, Only When I Laugh, Duty Free — and based on Squire Haggard's Journal.
Haggard was broadcast in the UK from 1990 to 1992, running for two seven-episode series. Keith Barron plays the Squire, Reece Dinsdale his son Roderick, a headstrong Regency Buck, and Sam Kelly his faithful manservant Grunge. If the premise sounds a little like Blackadder, perhaps Squire Haggard's Journal was an inspiration for that (not so good) comedy series.
Haggard is a rip-roaring romp of a period comedy where much of the plot revolves around the Squire attempting to restore the family's fortunes by any means necessary. Being written by Eric Chappell, the dialogue is first-rate.
The series was woefully overlooked when it first came out and remains a bit of hidden gem, but it can still be enjoyed...
Oddly, the DVD box set of Haggard is only available on US import, but I suppose that's better than nothing.
Otherwise, all the episodes can be tracked down online. Of particular interest, gents, might the episode called Beau Haggard. Haggard accuses his dapper son of being a 'peacock, a popinjay and a real prick-me-dainty' and then proceeds to sharpen up his own dress when the Prince Regent wishes to meet with him. Great fun.

The Travelling Gin Garden
Foraged Cocktails
The Gin Garden are a travelling gin garden who transform a space into an oasis of 'seasonal colour and scents', as if by magic, then create 'drinks inspired by garden, meadow and hedgerow' using our favourite summer drink — (lashings of) gin. What a lovely way to earn a living.
Naturally, they appeared at the RHS Hampton Court Flower Show last week. This week you need to dash over to the delightful cloister gardens at the Museum of the Order of St. John in Clerkenwell, London, to order your drinks.
The Gin Garden's summer recipe for Wild Mint Collins uses wild mint infused Botanist gin, pressed cucumber juice, mint syrup, lime and sparkling water. How's that for delicious?
Forager's Tea uses Botanist gin, hawthorn flower, wild strawberry leaf tea, honey syrup and lime. Yum-yum.
Beautiful gardens and large glasses of gin. Isn't that what summer is all about? Even if you have to squat under an umbrella to enjoy both.
