  • Poetry Update

    During the last few days I've had four more poems accepted for publication in two magazines and found another mention of my work online. Not bad, I suppose.

    The problem at the moment though is that I'm not sending out any work (or writing much either) because I can't find any new addresses of suitable magazines.

  • Some of the more unusual current positions in the British Royal Household.

    Black Rod
    Clerk of the Closet
    Clerk of the Green Cloth
    Gold Stick
    Silver Stick
    Grand Carver of England
    Groom of the Robes
    Groom of the Stool
    Her Majesty's Representative at Ascot
    Keeper of the Privy Purse
    Lady of the Bedchamber
    Marker of the Swans
    Master of the Buckhounds
    Master of the Horse
    Master of the Revels
    Page of the Backstairs
    Page of the Presence
    Piper to the Sovereign
    Poet Laureate
    Purse Bearer
    Queen's Bargemaster

    I haven't heard of most of these posts, all of them with job descriptions and terms and conditions. Of course there are many more positions in the Royal Household which have names that aren't quite so silly.
