Tuomo has style, and I am serious.
Let me quote Adolf Loos, a g-e-n-i-a-l architect:
On the subject of "home-furnishing" [Roy: it doesn't matter per se, it
could have been on the subject of entomology, motocross or bread kneading
too, though architects talk on these slightly less commonly] Loos liked
to quote "that worthy housewife" (in other words, plain common sense)
who, when asked what good style is, gave the following excellent reply:
"When there's a lion's head on the bedside table, and this same lion's
head is also on the couch, the cupboard, the beds, the armchairs, the
washstand, in other words on everything on the room, THAT'S WHAT'S CALLED A
ROOM WITH STYLE." [Emphasis added] ^1
QED
Which is of course a good omen for Ion.
