I love this video. Always makes me want to get an ascot and Niven it up when I'm painting.
Feel free to call me Dave!

Niven
verb
to be both debonair and rakish while sporting a pencil thin mustache and trying to get young ladies into bed,

Re: A spiffingly good endorsement of the noble hobby.
Should we wear ascots on Sunday? Kind of Michael Caine-J.O.E. Vandelier style?
Or maybe that's a terrible idea in Joshin's gaming room in the middle of the Japanese summer.

I've always wanted to play Diplomacy in a big, old English manor library. Overstuffed leather armchairs, walls of antique books, smoking jackets, snifters of brandy, maybe a few valets scattered about to relay orders. Wot, wot.
...and now his Head was full of nothing but Inchantments, Quarrels, Battles, Challenges, Wounds, Complaints, Amours, and abundance of Stuff and Impossibilities.....
