Falconry, a living human heritage - UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage

Falconry is the traditional art and practice of training and flying falcons (and sometimes eagles, hawks, buzzards and other birds of prey). It has been practised for over 4000 years.

Trains are actually very skittish, so you have to put blinders on them or they'll run off.

When weighing up how important it is that me and A get ADHD diagnoses (we’re already paying for a lot of healthcare that should be free) I need to think more about how calm we were during those first few months together (on speed)

There’s an academic in my school who loathes being ‘told what to do’ by and is generally a prick to professional services but is adored by his students. It occurs to me today how much misogyny there is here. ProfServices is 90% women and he hates and does not respect us.

Why, ask managers up and down the land, would we want to preserve or critique our history and culture?

Not to get personal but the prick that wants to proscribe Bash Back was born in 1978 and looks like this. Difficult paper round? This fucker can't remember the Miners' Strike. He can barely remember miners.
