Article from Private Eye: “THE TIMES NEW ROMAN • April Fools Day 279BC KING PYRRHUS DECLARES 'TOTAL AND COMPLETE VICTORY' by Our Military Staff HUGH CYDIDES celebrated a triumphant defeat of the entire Roman civilisation in a series of recent battles. King Pyrrhus said the Epirote army had "met and exceeded all military objectives" and that the defeated Romans were begging him for a peace treaty. "These mad bastards have surrendered in the face of Operation Epirus Fury," the king said. "This is the last you will ever hear of the Roman Empire, and I certainly won't be deposed in a few years' time!" Pyrrhus added that the Roman 10-point peace plan, which includes Rome retaining total control over the Ancient World, was "not a problem" and showed that, "we will win big TOGETHER!" Last week the king had been given a message from the Oracle at Delphi that, "A great empire will suffer a crushing defeat", and reposted the message on his tablet, saying, "Even loser Oracle supports me! Make Epirus Great Again!" However, there are worries that King Pyrrhus might be overstating the nature of what he calls, "this great Pyrrhic victory that will go down in history and never be forgotten, and the name of Donald Pyrrhus will live for ever! Thank you for your attention to this matter."”

An arch still standing as part of the Roman Bath house ruins at Ravenglass
I went to Ravenglass yesterday. Last time I was there was 2015. The bath house was built alongside the Roman fort which once stood here. Once nearby the wooden buildings in the vicus lay along cobbled roads which were alive with soldiers, women and children, traders, sailors, and craftsmen.

Just to be clear, I love Bob. Even his worst song is better than most people’s best song. Keep fighting the good fight! 💪🏼

Sad news. A brilliant poet and playwright. And he and Oliver Taplin made the best documentary ever about Orpheus about twenty years ago…
