I've been browsing the programme of Previously...., the Scottish History Festival which has just got underway. 

It's an inspired title and inspiration has not deserted the organisers in setting up events.  I imagine that the Beehive Inn will be stowed out for "Tits, Tassels and Ten Pound Notes", the story of striptease in Scotland.  

On the same night the Edinburgh Spanish Circle is hosting an illustrated talk on Cuba. The lovely lady with the PhD giving the striptease talk doesn't make it clear whether or not that is also illustrated, thus failing to resolve any prurient hispanophile's dilemma.

I think we should go to the Cuba talk. Purely out of historical interest, you understand.

Only if you promise to wear your tassels.

I don't possess such tawdry items. Out of luck.
