Is this the book that the father in Persuasion is so obsessed with? (I think it's Persuasion, it's certainly an Austen book)

Thank d-g you're acknowledging this hilarious ad banner, which has been running for me on Jezebel for the past two or three weeks.

Have always been perplexed as to exactly what content has drawn it.

Thank goodness it's not just me. My boyfriend plays WoW-type games, but he is NOT SUPPOSED TO on my computer, and I worried he'd been in here on the sly.

But aren't Princess Anne's kids behind Edward's in the queue due to her lack of Y chromosome? Or is that changing in the next generation?

@Fridge Hussy : Is finally heading back to uni!: Princess Anne's kids are not in the line of succession. She refused titles for them because she didn't want them to shoulder the burden of being royal.

@Fridge Hussy : Is finally heading back to uni!: Britain did change their law of primogeniture a few years ago, but it does not affect the succession as it now stands. Ergo, the succession is still Charles, then William and Harry, etc. When the law was passed it was not retroactive, like in Sweden. When the Swedish law changed, Victoria and her brother, who were already born, switched places in the succession.

These books are so amazing to read, I mean they're not novels or anything, but it's like slipping into another world full of Araminta and Jazzy's.*

*There were a LOT of debs this year called Jazzy, honestly.

@nessalicious: Ha! That's what my brother calls being stoned. As in "I was a little jazzy," or "The guy who sells me jazz."

@Antrack: That's amazing, I am so co-opting that.

My friends and I call things 'shazzy' after I sat on the tube with a guy who asked his date "Do you like.... SHAZZZZZ?" and when pressed as to what 'shazz' was he replied "You know: smooth shazz, be-bop shazz; it's what all the kids love."

@Antrack: Jazz = old school term for sex. Hence Jazz music, often made by people on drugs, therefore jazz = drugs. In summary, sex = music = drugs. Please revise thoroughly, this will go down, sorry, come up on your end-of-year test.

@Plum-Pie: Ahaha, that would also explain 'jazz rags'. As an avid Viz reader I had wondered about this..
