Have been in Somerset all of one day and have basically become fixated on its Neolithic culture. I thought I was here for the cider…
Why on earth has it taken me more than forty years to discover that David Byrne produced a Fun Boy Three cover of Ron Goodwin's Miss Marple theme? youtu.be/QklX2Sh-dw4?...

I know I have quite a small reach on here but is there anyone on here who is a Doctor Who fan based in the South West? I have a lot of old stuff from my childhood and I’m looking to downsize, would like to pass as much of it onto a loving home if possible
i don't mind who wins as long as nobody enjoys themselves
Daily Telegraph finally to treat climate change with the seriousness it deserve.
I love capturing those moments where London Underground trains line up perfectly with station posters. With a little patience and a bit of luck, you can end up with some wonderfully amusing and unexpected shots.
You seem to have a very outdated view of what & who Europeans are. (checks colour of skin)
I gotta say. I’ve never seen the Europeans move so quickly, so unified and so resolute as when they basically told Gianni Infantino and FIFA to fuck off. Imagine a World Cup without European teams. The art of beating the colonizers is one of football’s great pleasures
Currently reorganising my paperbacks and came across my TNT collection - aka the wildest, most ridiculous and over-the-top men’s adventure series ever published. Let the synopses give you a taste of what’s inside:
Albrecht Dürer · Revelation of St. John: St. John Devouring the Books Albrecht Dürer chose one of the strangest commands in all of scripture to visualize here, the moment an angel orders Saint John to literally eat a book, and he… View full record → Watch video → Cleveland Museum of Art | CC0
Happy Birthday to you, ‘In A Silent Way’ by Miles Davis – released on this day 57 years ago. Still my favourite. Those hi-hats! youtu.be/YHesqaMhh34?...

If I won the lottery I would hire an interior designer and just say “Columbo murderer” while waving my hand around my home office.
Nice to see The Guardian publishing your dad’s Facebook posts
England’s 1966 World Cup heroes were fun, humble and unlike today’s stars
After securing the trophy 60 years ago, some still supplemented their income by performing in working men’s clubs and as after dinner speakers

Tiger hunting with Ram Singh II of Kotah, by Lacchiram, 1860. Tiger is not doing well, alas! On #WorldTigerDay
As a historian of Jodrell Bank, I agree! And the reason it is important is that it has been made to mean different things to different people at different times. Who's up for a mega thread on how and why? (I'm off for lunch now, but I'll do it after. I'll need the energy...)
Really one of the most important postwar sites in Britain
Actually, several generations of jazz critics managed to sum up Armstrong's music and achievements in words very thoroughly and eloquently. Admittedly this was in the days before the internet when people had brains and could speak English so your confusion might be understandable.
Here's my Odyssey review. It's about Jason and the Argonauts. joelmorris.substack.com/p/jason-and-...
