“I love London society!
I think it has immensely improved.
It is entirely composed now of beautiful idiots and brilliant lunatics.
Just what Society should be.”
Oscar Wilde, in Act 1 of ‘An Ideal Husband’
And for those who live or have lived in London….which one are you?
A beautiful idiot? Or a brillaint lunatic?
Me?
Probably a combination of both 😉

The arch-cynic of the 19th-century… I wonder why.
