This post has a slight feel of my style of writing and at the point where you randomly tossed in the paragraph about the bikes I felt it even more. However you turned it back to the TS style until almost the end and then it changed back again with the paragraph about the American and also the strange word beatific. Anyway I agree about the British Museum and I used to love dusty, deserted museums when I was a child.Rachel Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16053924416805878169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-77308709116791213012015-10-10T07:35:58.864-07:002015-10-10T07:35:58.864-07:00And the rest of my afterlife.And the rest of my afterlife.Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-33440933693858913642015-10-10T06:35:23.078-07:002015-10-10T06:35:23.078-07:00Do you really intend to spend the rest of your lif...Do you really intend to spend the rest of your life looking at that mummy on the door of your fridge?
