Standing regarding the street below his first-floor bedsit at 129 Beaufort Street, Chelsea, England
"This is the window from which on a clear day one can see normality."
Quentin Crisp (1968)
Back then the street was quite downmarket; viewed just now on Google Streetview, that address had two sports cars parked outside, one a Porsche, the other a Merc..

He who laughs last is taken for an idiot. Ha! Just as well I didn't know that when I was twelve. I was sent to the Headmistress's office, Sister Maria had a face that could curdle butter and turn cream sour! She was stony-faced as she told me, "He who laughs last laughs the longest." I can just imagine if I had replied with your idiot comment Baz! I'd have been expelled for sure! My ears are burning just to think of it.
