So I've heard. Don't see the attraction myself. Mind you, I spent a lot of time at The Baseball Ground when I were a nipper.

If anyone in Edinburgh fancies an 8 string ukulele (I think it's a concert size) for 60 quid please ask. Local to save on postage. We could meet somewhere and swap cash for a ukulele. Like some kind of twee drug deal.
Thatcher, so she can die again.
Ollie standing by a very tall standing stone in a ploughed field, looking towards a slightly shorter one in the distance. It’s a bright and sunny spring day
Ollie standing in front of the shortest of the three Devil’s Arrows (which is about 18ft tall) stretching his arms up above him. He’s wearing a brown plaid shirt and a black hat with a brim
Jim (a ‘mysterious hooded figure’) and Ollie standing by the southern stone, which is about 22.5 ft tall
A selfie of me by the tallest stone, which towers above me. I look, and indeed am, jolly pleased with myself
Finally got to properly see the Devil’s Arrows! #DailyMegalith #NorthYorkshire #England (2026)
Those are stupendous.
Rounders. Popular with Americans, they say.
Looks like a typo just before the link - it says 'Stockholm' rather than 'Skokholm'.

Looks like I'm going to be having a short, unexpected, break in Wexford. Any recommendations for things to see, places to go, food, drink, music, whatever?
22.00 FILM: EVRI-THING, EVRI-WHERE ALL AT ONCE Award-winning multiverse adventure where your parcel is somehow at the depot, in transit, in your safe place, left with a neighbour, delayed, returned to send, in your green bin, all at the same time - but never actually with you.
Based on a true story. About a dozen true stories in our experience...
Why did no-one tell me it's National Tea Day? I wasted half my morning drinking coffee. Bah.
Ooh, I'll take that. The only times I've ever been called amazing in real life have been after a catastrophe, along the lines of 'it's amazing you managed to fuck it up so badly'.
Go on, then, reveal my fortune.
Reform UK continually cry foul when accused of wanting to privatise the NHS.... You can't believe a word they say...
Prince died ten years ago. Rupert Murdoch is still alive. I’d like to speak to the manager, please.

If anyone's getting up a petition to ask Brian to write 'Shit! It's Jeremy Clarkson!', I'm in.
Maybe they'll do 'The Lamb', and have Michael Ball dressed as a Puerto Rican street punk. Or a flautist standing on one leg. Or a giant gong which bursts into flames. Or double-necked violins. The possibilities are intriguing.
A bottle of Henry VII cider, partially decanted into a glass. Both stand on a wooden surface.
King Henry VII died on this day in 1509. It hasn't stopped him from making a decent cider, though.
I'm looking forward to seeing a classically trained musician stick daggers into the keyboard of the Grand Organ at the Royal Albert Hall during the Keith Emerson segment.
Robert ‘Didfyman’ Smith
Happy birthday Robert Smith - The Cure
Happy 79th birthday to James Newell Osterberg Jr, one of the greats.
Remembering the late great FRANKIE HOWERD — who left us 34yrs ago today, aged 75.
It's a great location, Drumtroddan. There's only one stone standing now, like a cowled figure watching over the landscape.
Same.
Somehow I'd never seen that before. If Brian stood for PM, I'd vote for him.
This article contains the phrase 'Until recently, the clitoris has had very little scientific attention.'
Nice of you to include a link to the article, otherwise I'd never have found it.
Anyone else initially read this as 'wooden ring'? Just me then. Pleased to see that the finder is described as a 'metal detectorist' - thanks to a certain programme, that's one mistake we no longer make.
Experience all the excitement of international blockades in your own home! Play "Strait of Hormuz" by having a family and only one bathroom, whose use is perpetually contested through the deployment of threats, negotiations, bluff, bluster, blackmail, and bursts of irrational violence.
