Liar's Kingdom is now performing this function for Prospero Vint. I've put this with the early parts of LK which I posted on here nearly 10 years ago Image is PD from Wikipedia

OED does have at 2†b."to yield, give way; to give up a previous determination or obstinacy" which does fit." which...

Ho-Ha-Heh, Hertha Beh-Ess-Tseh!
Posted on Mon, 31 Mar 2025
I had a couple of military pals in Berlin, who followed Hertha, who - in those days - had quite a hooligan set-up. There were some Kneipen that were only for Herta fans in Spandau just a stop or two down the U-Bahn from Wilmersdorf,where the...

Assured, convincing writing, a bold and meaningful premise, well handled. Art and how we respond to it is an interesting subject, Mark has made the most of that in this wonderful piece, and that's why it is our Social Media Pick of the Day....

This second part of The Speedy is today's Pick of the Day. There are several names for this kind of tale, one of them is chain. But that's not important. This is a clever conceit and beautifully executed, PLEASE share on your social media...

Funny, others' - and the author's own - foibles depicted with an indulgent fondness and, as ever, bringing smiles and laughter. I can think of no better reasons to select this as our Pick of the Day today. Please share on your Social Media,...
