Amuse bouche
Cameron's sausage party
Coverage of David Cameron's recent return to the heart of government has tended to paint him as a superior statesman who commands respect. We're not entirely sure that's the case in Whitehall though.
Not judging by the number of stifled giggles there were at Cameron's Christmas Party at the Foreign Office this week – when they served up pigs in blankets...

There was a story in today's #Popbitch about an unfortunate journalist who mispronounced the XCX in #CharliXCX (which you just say "ecks see ecks")
I was thinking "oh no, did they call her Charli [Roman numerals]?"
but no, they called her "Charli Zzzyyykkchkks", as in 'xylophone'
which is pretty cringe, but made me laugh that I had assumed it was going to be a #RomanNumeral issue
While trying to figure out what XCX would be in #RomanNumerals I found this nifty calculator
https://www.numere-romane.ro/convert-roman-numerals-to-arabic-numbers.php
XCX turns out not to be a valid Roman number because using the subtractive formula by which you subtract the first letter from the second
(which is why IX = 10 - 1 = 9)
you'd get
XC = 100 - 10 = 90
but then the extra C just adds another 10 back on, so it's a nonsense way of saying 100
This made me reflect on how as a kid I learned the rules of Roman numerals by osmosis by watching movies and TV shows that ended with the production year in Roman numerals
e.g. MCMLXXXVII
(a number I plucked off the top of my head that offers inadvertent insight into my age)
1000 + 900 + 50 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 5 + 1 + 1 = 1987
Like, the three main rules are:
1. You arrange the letters from the highest value to the lowest and then add them up
2. V, L and D can only be used once in a number. You can use I, X, C and M up to three times in a row, but only those letters. You have to use Rule 3 to get more precise numbers
3. When you put a numeral with a lower value in front of one with a higher value, you subtract the lower number from the higher number. But you can only use the subtractive letter once in the number, which is why XCX doesn't work
Today I learned a new rule:
4. Putting brackets around a Roman numeral adds "thousand" to the end of its value. (Sometimes this is also shown with a macron – the straight horizontal accent – over the letter)
V = 5
(V) = 5000
L = 50
(L) = 50,000 -
