A provincial hack's commonplace book
Selected headlines from the Guardian's build up to the New Zealand-England Test series:
Time for Panesar to learn from Vettori
Time, in short, for the sort of performance that would make "Time for..." headlines redundant. Failing that, time for a new way of expressing disappointment.
The image at the top of this sidebar is a bronze fountainhead from Cressing Temple, Essex, by Steven Morant. It also happens to be the present blogger, aged 16; he counts himself very lucky to be the sculptor's nephew. The font so poorly used in the blog titlepiece is Underware Unibody 8 Italic; fans of the foundry will be reassured to hear that I'm no relation of theirs.

Along those lines there's also the old "(insert age) not out" headline, deployable any time an article about a well-known person is based largely around the fact that they've been doing whatever they do for a reasonably long period of time. Granted, it's probably about the most polite way to say in headline form "Admit it, you probably thought this guy was dead". But still.
