    “The Duchess” Who Wasn’t Day celebrates the life of Margaret Wolfe Hungerford, an irish novelist who was always published under the pen name “The Duchess” – also the name of her most popular novel, published in 1887. Margaret is responsible for the popular phrase “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”, in her book Molly Bawn, so try and slip it into conversation!

    A phrase very useful during a van restoration :)

  11. Extract from the ORIGINAL:-

    It was a cool and lovely breezy afternoon
    (How does it feel when you've got no herb?)
    You could feel it 'cause it was the month of June
    (If you got no herb you will walk an' talk)
    So I lef' my gate and went out for a walk
    As I pass the dreadlocks' camp I hear them say
    (How do dey sing when you heard dem sing?)

    Not sure how the Mods will feel about hijacking a thread to discuss marijuana songs but I'm sure @paradox wouldn't mind. ;)
