Marquess of Salisbury Family Tree: Posted by medium_man on February 14, 2007

…. While browsing your journal I came across your comment regarding the relationship between Blanche Louise and Lord David Cecil. Since I haven’t seen any really fine qualifiers for the “Prizeless Prize For Far Too Much Available Time” recently I decided to let my curiousity run unchecked for a bit and explore the matter.

 As it turns out Lord David Cecil Professor of English Literature at the University of Oxford is the 1st cousin once removed of Ms Blanche Louise.

 I really can’t keep all this straight in my brain so I created a drawing to get a visual on this particular branch of the Cecil family tree but I can’t attach it in the guest book so here’s the raw data. I can send you the graph of the family tree in email if you like.

Many thanks to Mr. Medium. A family tree of this part of the Cecil family would be much appreciated.

17.16  Back from the Electric Cinema in Birmingham.

Downstairs is well-equipped with seating for 100 where fillims may be watched while pumping down cakes, teas & cocktails; all available along with tickets at the box office. The first floor is a studio which has the facility to record live shows from the floor below. A quality project, a considerable contribution to the life of inner-city Brummy Town.

The final ET newsletter and ET is about-to-be-beginning having-been-completed. Several of the posts discuss photography – the fan’s right as consumer! and opposing views. Well. ET may be at an end, but the right of the consumer to behave in whatever fashion they want will rattle on for as long as people hand over their hard-earned pay to buy a ticket; and even where no money exchanges hands, for as long as a person is without conscience, they will assume their right to behave without obligation, without consequence.

A contribution to the final newsletter…

ET held the space open for Crim enthusiasts at a time when KC was not quite
rehabilitated from its self-evident crimes of pretension, arrogance &
existence as a poor man’s Black Sabbath - no more, no less. other comments
of similar cluelessness, from the music press of the period, were often
matched by ET posters themselves. but online fan dopiness may be
distinguished from professional witlessness by the passion with which
fan-commentators enter the field. whether or not more or less light is cast
on events under discussion is moot. the passion is not.
that moment has passed. during the moment, not only did ET lead the field,
it was the field.

well done to all concerned.
