Me too!Tash, I only wish I could do more.
My humble apologies, I missed recognising this as a new thread.
Most enjoyable yarn, and a fine picture.
Yes, that's me - very characteristic pose, actually finding the exercise quite interesting,
going off into a world of my own -
Just look at the amount of stuff these Romans throw on the pavement!
Where I come from, every scrap would be saved and stored away for a rainy day
(which usually means it's put away till tomorrow), nothing's ever wasted -
that nail someone's dropped, looks like the kind they use for crucifixions -
it's bent and a bit bloodstained, but it's worth keeping all the same -
but how can I hide it, I'm stark naked?
Aha, a cunning plan...
bit uncomfortable, but I quite like the feel of foreign bodies inside me...
must feel like this when the cornu sinks into you when you're on the cross...
hey, maybe those cranky Christians will buy it off me for a relic?

Only you would come up with something that fanciful and poetic Eul.
Well done!But, come to think of it, Phlebas forgot to equip you guys with trash bags. So where exactly did Judge Windarius expect you to put the trash you picked up?

"What do you mean, Miss Priya, they use a number for 'nothing'!? Absolute rubbish, my dear, as ridiculous as those so-called tomatoes they talk about! I call it pseudo-science!"
Funny story, Windarius!

I'm all for enjoying all that Saturnalia has to offer. My favourite holiday by far. And the added bonus of the lovely foreign students helping to beautify Rome (in more ways than one) is nothing to complain about. I can't help thinking though, Repertorius old fellow, that we have been portrayed in a less than completely favourable light.
I mean, I don't like the idea of people coming in and defacing the old metrop, (and what's a tomato?
) but at least they weren't crucified. That Eulalia has a nice pair of peaches (do we know about peaches?).
Probably wrecked any chances I had there. She'll be all over that artist, Phlebas, now.
Great little story, Winder!

Not at all, Jollyrei, you and Repertor were just doing your public duty! Fine upstanding citizens as you are!

Oh Wragg, you do know how to pick your words!
I apologise for my "friend" here.
He's from the gutter press. Mind like a sewer
They had (rather under-ripe looking) peaches in Herculaneum:
Probably native to parts of China, they'd reached Rome via the Persian Empire.
But, yes, that Phlebas pic does rather flatter my peaches!
Fat lot of good that is if all the girls see is someone who is irretrievably proper.
Well, okay, it is Saturnalia, after all. We may have had a couple of amphorae."Upstanding!"

We were fine, really, and we left the chariot parked on campus. Oh, how they like to torture us.But, yes, that Phlebas pic does rather flatter my peaches!

See if you can come up with a punchy headline for tomorrow's paper. Ask yourself WWMD (What would Murdoch do?)
They were just trying to get back at young ladies who rejected their advances.

And she's been reading that Kama Sutra quite diligently

Somehow peaches are a much better metaphor than the more commonly used melons. Other members of the family, like apricots and almonds might be taken as an insult, but peaches are perfect.They had (rather under-ripe looking) peaches in Herculaneum:

I think peaches refers to the rounded and lovely lower part, which may also be little and tight.

We were upset when we saw them bedaub world heritage.

Indeed. Defacing history, that.
Didn't have much choice.
They weren't history back then, nor world heritage. They were university buildings and may have been no more distinguished than the average college dorm or dining hall today.
