I spend all day cutting out unnecessary wordiness; don't expect me to be succinct here.

Some people enjoy sports trivia and get all worked up about that. I'd rather get worked up about people and things that actually shaped the world as we know it now. :) Eh.

That stupid tourist, get your historical haircuts right damn it! Your impression of a royal snob’s irritation with the “common” folk is spot on. You need a vacation… oh wait… that was vacation.

I could be wrong, of course. (When I pointed out to him that the memorial was in fact of Henry VII, he perked up a little. Also, I should've pointed out in the post that, again, this is a shared-crypt situation, and that James I/VI does technically share a tomb with Henry VII and his wife Elizabeth of York. The main inaccuracy was the implication that the effigy was of James.)

Grr and all that. The American may well have been a twit, but so was the Brit docent (often they just SOUND as if they know what they’re talking about just because of the bloody accent).
