It is also known by the titles: The Finding of Moses, or Moses Saved from the Waters. It was a popular art subject matter. The Egyptian princess and her attendants are seated and standing by a river around the baby Moses. Classical buildings appear in the distance with a sphinx garden statue on a pedestal by the princess to reference Egypt.

  Marco T Marco T Posted Thursday at 17:56 Aria never fails me. I have used his services on several occasions now and I am always impressed by 1) the speed of his response, 2) his honest pricing, 3) the quality of his interventions. I had a washing machine crisis the other day where my old appliance started leaking badly and into the flat below. Aria can within an hour of my call and sorted the whole thing immediately. Impressive! Highly recommended! Posted Thursday at 17:56 a.

  Capita (always spelt in Private Eye as Crapita) has a record of failure in its management of public contracts that goes back decades. Yet they continue to get more government business and have our money lavished on them. Private profit trumps public service every time.

  Perhaps the robbers pulled over for a Magnum? A 25-year old Ferrari is probably worth a lot less than many newer cars on the streets locally (£40k-ish, I’m guessing?). I notice the tax is up in a fortnight.
