Tom Chamberlin

@Rolocopte @largacty1 @AyoCaesar Sometimes life is all about not taking things seriously, random people on Twitter is a good start.

@tfchamberlin @largacty1 @AyoCaesar Imagine carrying on thinking you should be taken seriously after writing that...

It takes real guts to do something like this, surrounded by people screaming at you. The suffragettes were hated in their time too.

@stuheritage In that I’m full of crap?

@tfchamberlin Technically you are a newspaper Tom

The only people I've seen getting excited about the coronation so far are brands and newspapers. No actual flesh and blood humans

@Tangent3 @Ned_Donovan @ChrisBalster Aha. V good.

@tfchamberlin @Ned_Donovan @ChrisBalster (Deleted for inaccuracy - it was the current Earl's father who broke his white staff at the QM's funeral, as her Lord Chamberlain.)

An autochrome of James Lindsay, 26th Earl of Crawford dressed for the Coronation of King George V in 1911.

@Ned_Donovan @ChrisBalster Excellent. Thank you.

@Ned_Donovan @ChrisBalster Do Earls tend to have staffs?

@RayLangford6119 @SayItHowItIs247 @rogerlwhite @juk5252 @SimonScarrow @tomhfh @DanielJHannan No. But saying the British started it is really dumb.

@tfchamberlin @SayItHowItIs247 @rogerlwhite @juk5252 @SimonScarrow @tomhfh @DanielJHannan So because the Egyptians did it first then it was OK?

Such an important point from ⁦@DanielJHannan⁩. Every major society throughout history, across every continent, had indulged the despicable institution of slavery. The British empire was the first major power to permanently abolish it. telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/04/0…

@rogerlwhite @juk5252 @SimonScarrow @tomhfh @DanielJHannan From 1807 the Royal Navy began its de facto policing of the oceans to find and destroy slavers. Which was only possible having stuffed the French and Spanish at Trafalgar in 1805.

@tfchamberlin @juk5252 @SimonScarrow @tomhfh @DanielJHannan Britain did not abolish slavery in 1807. It abolished the slave *trade*. Slavery in the colonies was abolished by an Act of 1833. I don't know if your other dates are correct.

@Barima_ON @dieworkwear I like this idea of a vintage clothing points system. I feel like it could be as convoluted as Warhammer.

@dieworkwear The goal of dressing well is to buy the vintage throwaways of the wealthy at disproportionately obscene steals on the aftermarket. Your bonus points accrue if you have to dry clean them yourself on receipt.

the goal of dressing well is not to look rich. the goal is to impress a small group of men online that you don't know and refuse to ever meet

@timcarpo @Ned_Donovan @Mr_Andrew_Fox @InspGadgetBlogs Yes you are right that the centre-parted beret is a thing for cavalry but he’s supposedly a guardsman so he can’t claim that one.

@tfchamberlin @Ned_Donovan @Mr_Andrew_Fox @InspGadgetBlogs Don’t like the bloke but that is an old cav style of wearing a beret. Capbadge in middle and pulled down on both sides. One reason why so many old and bold cav vets get annoyed with the lads they see now with cap badges beyond the left eye. Surprising from a guardsman though..

@darrenpjones I spy a Darren Jones Select Committee viral clip in the making.

This really happened?!

@dieworkwear That’s a cowboy boot. Not a Cuban heel.

cuban heels, which are historically masculine and still very stylish, but in today's culture wars, may as well be a bra on your feet

As seen on David Zaslav, Bobby Kotick, Larry Gagosian, and Stavros Niarchos. @tfchamberlin trib.al/dUzS6Ac
