Just a short one for now fellow gentlemen.

NEWS! NEWS INDEED!

I shall be undertaking a great project this soon day and shall be introducing to you all some of the finest minds of the Victorian Era!!! Fanfare please Knobbins! Very good, now return to your butler duties at once!

Every week (or thereabouts, don't push me now, you wouldn't like the consequences) i shall be bringing you a new...or rather old...Victorian hero, starting this week with the famous glorious, magnificent Isambard 'Magic' Kingdom Brunel!

Huzzah!

That is all.

Cheerio

Good day and welcome!

Congratularoy exultations are in order my fine sir, on your discovery of one the ChimneyWeb's finest sites devoted you you, the Victorian Gent. If you so happen to be looking for information on Victorians and Victorianity in general...Then you are most certainly not welcome here! How dare you! If you know not now, you no deserve no not to know...good sir!

If however you yourself are one of the elite, a VG:SE (Victorian Gentleman:Standard Edition) and wish only for a second of respite against the 'modern world' then this, kind fellow, is your throne d'Victorian! Chimneys, child exploitation, mysogeny. You may find all of these fine conversational topics and more right in front of your nose...not there...a bit closer...closer i say...now to the left slighty...oh you'll find it yourself I'm sure!

Now prepare to join the ranks of Brunel! Sherlock Holmes! Babbage! Abraham Darby I through IV!...and to a lesser extent Stephenson.

Put on your finest top hat! Let your monacle drop from your face (so it is hanging by it's chain...like that, well done) and light your most gentlemanly cigar! Perhap you may care to enjoy good sir!

Beware and Good Day to you!
