A few interesting things seen recently:

France and UK considered 1950s merger )

TV series of A Song of Ice and Fire )

All About Romance's Yearly Cover Contests )

A terminology question: suppose for the sake of argument that in DH Bill and Fleur get married, and so later on do Harry and Ginny -- what's the term for Gabrielle Delacour in relation to Harry? Can the term "sister-in-law" be made to stretch that far? Does "sister-in-law by marriage" make any sense? Or am I stuck with the clumsy "wife's brother's wife's sister"?

Lyrics: The last one was of course from The Eton Rifles by The Jam in 1979, a classic from one of my favourite bands! [livejournal.com profile] lazy_neutrino and [livejournal.com profile] ladybracknell spotted it. A bit more recent is this one:

But you see, it's not me, it's not my family.
In your head, in your head they are fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are crying
(1990s)
