Monolemma as per my answer upthread.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

My solution to said condition is the Dremel Moto Tool. A cutting disk on the tool cuts a nice screw-driver friendly slot in the top of pretty much anything.

I did see them on Ebay, I have found that a flat blade of the correct width will happily sit into two of the wings and works ok.
I'll still maybe order one up just in case!

Same with any security screw - they are pretty easy to "bodge" out, but a PITA to get back in!

It has rained here, off and on for days the wind has been howling.
I woke up this morning and it was 61 and rain, now (noon) it clear and 46F and supposed to drop into single digit, with wind chill by morning and be cold all week. The people here say they haven't seen this for 10-11 years.

Those who regularly listen to The News Quiz on The Home Service will be aware of Mr Hoggart.
Sadly he died yesterday.
A very funny man, he will be missed, and 67 is far too young.

For Hoggart, agreed.
Yet, for some, 67 is far too old.

Because it's a slow news day.
Wait, what? You're saying they would not have freed him had it been a busy news day? Wow, that guy is lucky.
Badum!

I know it's better to not only be long, but wide, as well.
But stuck in a washing machine? I feel sorry for a guy who'd bring a fearful sweat to an elephant in heat.

The Environment Agency are urging the evacuation of large parts of Wales in case of flooding.
It's because of all the leaks.

Evacuation includes sheep?

That's implied, no Welshman would leave a sheep behind. Or a sheep's come to that.
