今天下午,我用了图片中兩罐清洁皮革及護皮革上光防水,去修護这个皮革上刻印有「大英帝国皇权臂章纹飾象徵」之 Dunhill Unique petrol lighter。
兩罐噴劑写明: 任何颜色的 - 公事皮包, 皮鞋, 皮箱, 任何皮製用品等等皆可適用。
我想試試效果如何。:loveliness:

牛津大学历届出过26个英国首相(包括现任英国首相卡梅倫),而有13位英國首相出自「基督教堂學院」(Christ Church College),與牛津大學其他44個學院的總數相等,並超過劍橋大學任何一個學院,僅僅略少於劍橋大學總數(15人)。

Christ Church is the largest of the Oxford University colleges. Its grandeur owes much to the pride of one man, its founder, Cardinal Thomas Woolsey.(在第一頁 第2楼的帖,我已 post 有这个天主教枢机的相片)

Christ Church College 創建之先后次序:
之前是由 Frideswide 公主(她逝世於19-Oct-727)創立了 Christ Church college(這時未叫這個名稱)之天主教堂雛型。幾百年后,這個學院被 Cardinal Thomas Woolsey(天主教紅衣主教/ 樞機)決定加建擴大面積至最齊全、最完備之天主教培訓神職人員的學院(Cardinal College,1525-1529年期間改建加設中),但改建加設到中途未完成整個工程,這個 Woolsey 得罪了亨利八世而失勢,這個學院立即被亨利八世據為己用並繼續建設工程(1532年),但后來他(1546年)把這個學院捐贈出來成為牛津大學的學院之一,並正式改名為 Christ Church College 而沿用至今。
備註:
这个学院的創建故事之情节断断續續,東一部分、西一部分,我参考多个中英文網站的大量文献内容后,串连出整个来龙去脉,用邏輯细心地整理並扼要简述出来。

Mensa 創立者有二: Dr Lancelot Ware 英國人,大律師 + 科學家(如圖);Roland Fabien Berrill,澳洲人,大律師,其簡介如下:
Roland Fabien Berrill (1897–1962) was an Australian whose claim to notability is as the co-founder (with the English barrister Lancelot Ware) of Mensa, the international society for intellectually gifted people.
I) The founding of Mensa
Mensa was founded by Roland Berrill and Lancelot Ware at Lincoln College, Oxford, England on 1 October 1946. They originally called it the "High IQ Club". Lance Ware had the initial idea for the society, but Berrill founded Mensa in the usual sense: he supplied the start-up cash, wrote some initial idiosyncratic pamphlets and became Mensa's first Secretary.
Berrill was an unashamed elitist, who regretted the passing of an aristocratic tradition. He regarded Mensa as "an aristocracy of the intellect". He noticed with some disappointment that a majority of Mensans appeared to have come from humble homes.
At an early Mensa organizational meeting, one of the people present proposed that black people be excluded from Mensa. This was met by shocked silence. Then Berrill proposed that the motion be amended to exclude "green people with yellow stripes" instead. This amended motion passed, with one vote against. If the minutes of that meeting had not been lost, that statute might still be on the books of Mensa.
Berrill died a few years later, having recruited in total around 400 people by self-administered IQ tests.
II) Personal life
Berrill was born in Australia in 1897, but left with his family in 1901 and went to London. Although he was called to the bar, he never practised as a barrister but lived on the dividends of his investments.
He spent most of the rest of his life in England. He had brief trips to Tangier in 1936, New York in 1937 and Durban, South Africa in 1959. On November 22, 1948, he spoke at the Socratic Club in Oxford, combining with Father Victor White, on the topic "Beyond Myth and Dogma" at Lady Margaret Hall.
Berrill was thick-set and sturdy, with a full well-tended dark beard and moustache. He had confident, protruding eyes, and firm, pleasant voice that revealed his English upper-class schooling, not his antipodean birth. He believed in palmistry, phrenology, astrology and dianetics. These views were not popular within Mensa, and he was regarded by Mensans as "deficient in normal scepticism".
Berrill was a member of The Men's Dress Reform Movement; he desired more colour in men's clothes, and objected to the uniformity common in those days.He never married.

牛津大学 _ 瓦德漢/ 伍德罕 学院(1610年庚戌年創立)
瓦德漢學院(Wadham College) 是英國牛津大學學院之一,位於牛津中部公園路南端,其名稱是爲了紀念詹姆斯一世時薩默塞特郡的地主多蘿西·瓦德漢和尼古拉斯·瓦德漢。
瓦德漢學院學風自由,以廣出左翼政治家和豐富的學生社團而聞名。2009年收到財政捐款6600萬英鎊,2011/2012學年在諾靈頓排名上排在第4位。
學院成立伊始便禁止所有女性進入該學院,唯一的例外是一位「年齡、地位和名譽都不會受到質疑」的洗衣婦。這一傳統保持了數個世紀,1974年成為最早接受女性學員的學院之一。
該學院也因強烈支持同性戀而出名,還有年度晚會「Queerfest」。這一傳統可追溯到18世紀該學院的一位同性戀校長(warden)Robert Thistlethwayte,他因同性戀醜聞而不得不在1739年逃離英格蘭。
