@Pearl I think Blackpool would be the Lancashire 'equivalent' to Brighton, right?

Well, he was King only from 1820 to 1830, whereas his predecessor - from which period his title of Prince-Regent was derived - reigned from 1760 - 1820 and then of course, after William 1V's short reign, came the long reign of Victoria. So his reign is not exactly a footnote to English history...

Yes, well it would make sense to have the tattoo parlors by the station now - probably in close proximity with one another - because so many people travel to Brighton with the tattoo establishments primarily in mind. Sounds like you would have been there much more recently than I have, so you...

I've heard so much about his extracurricular activities that the good things he did didn't seem to feature in what I read about him...

I recall many young people using the restaurants and piercing/tattoo establishments near the Pavilion. There used to be a pier that looked half demolished.

With alluring, glamorous company, no doubt. In those days a lot of men were keen Protestants...but didn't somehow identify with the spiritual and moral claims of the Nazarene. Somehow this would probably describe the Prince Regent, too.

@Butterfly I would reckon I paid visits on foot to Downtown Brighton nearer 30 than 20 years ago.

I've only been to England 3 or 4 times in nearly 13 years, and it wasn't on any of those visits.

Yes, it was the Prince Regent whose "pile" it originally was (some say, as a cover for his extra-curricular activities). The dome seems almost out of place in England, being more redolent of somewhere an Eastern potentate away in far flung Asia would have been found. I remember within walking...

Great meditation! Ezekiel 16.10-14 has some rather similar thoughts.

I was struck by the unique, odd-looking Pavilion at Brighton, when I visited. It was actually smaller than I expected, having previously seen it in pictures.

Please, not fog here... Hoping you keep safe, Ms. @Grams.

I heard that it more recent years, Manchester University and UMIST merged. I saw some fine buildings when I visited, years ago.

Interesting! :) I was recently reading about Hans Rohrbach, who broke the American A-2 cypher. He was apparently a believer: Hans Rohrbach - Wikipedia

I think Manchester - developed from Owen's College in the 19th century, right? - was traditionally Lancashire's premier university.

The OP quote not from England, then... forums dot thewelltrainedmind dot com (Though I wouldn't be surprised if does in due course happen in England, too.)

Oh yes; this now does vaguely ring a bell. "In a galaxy far, far away..."

Such a searching passage; good in a service, combined with singing 'When I survey the wond'rous Cross'.

To be frank I definitely need a haircut.

Oh okay! :)
