As a native of Oxford, Oxfordshire i confess that I never heard of such a thing until Vampire Weekend brought it up in one of their songs. You have my permissionto rename it after any seat of learning of your choice.
This needs scale. I'm imagining about 12" (30cm) square. Please post another picture including a ruler or other household object.
Raising girls was a joy. My eldest once told me 'dad you never set any boundaries'. I told her "we did have some ready but you never got near them".
Books I can debate but if anyone says Coldplay is their favourite band then I go to the toilet and sneak out the back way.
When the sky is right. Is there any more gothically sublime place than a ruined abbey. This is Whitby Abbey, North Yorkshire. Setting for a famous scene in Bram Stoker's Dracula
Viable option 👍🏽
Now the trouble begins. Piccalilli, Branston or Colmans? North american friends can ask a British friend. 😘
Are you spoken for? My marriage proposal is in the post. And can we have proper custard with it please.
Seriously, don't eat that. I hope your parole comes through soon
The good people of Cheddar, Somerset, England are taking up their pitchforks and flaming torches as I write. What is wrong with actual cheese FFS
Bravo. The art of chip making lives on. So happy I could shed tears
Nice. Over here we call that a cheese toasty. #justsayin
It's kind of happening. Since COVID many bus shelters have turned into book and CD exchanges. Some are still thriving. Some of the books are even suitable for a literary snob like me
I am wrong about many things. Which one in particular comrade?
I'm not complacent but I have faith in the British electorate not to vote to remove equal pay, equal rights, climate change action and social justice which their trade union parents and grandparents fought so hard for. Please tell me if I am wrong.
And maybe play Buffalo Springfield's wonderful For What It's Worth while you read. 🙏
George Harrison's I Me Mine from Let it be seems prescient. Shame the song is a bit of a duffer IMHO
Where will they find these muppets? Sesame Street has been closed for many years
I see your 'weapons grade moron' and raise you to ocean going c*^t
Guys, how can your team move towns? It was allowed to happen once to an English football team 30 years ago and everyone in football hates them. The team is part of the town and not a business to be plonked down somewhere more profitable.
Maybe the cassette player was sentient and was trying to tell you something 🤔
Some things are just perfect and can only be diminished by changing even one tiny thing. This is one
The royal family have made damn sure this is not about the royal family. They did this by cutting off the necrotic limb. They protected him until, by doing this, they put the whole revolting institution at risk.
I concluded that this was a children's book about cute puppets who live in that state. Thanks for saving acute disappointment among my grand children
Somewhere in the archives of the BBC there is programme (an edition of In Our Time I think) that explains how The Wizard of Oz was written as a political allegory in the first flowering of US populism. This is true BTW.
And by the way. If Prince is not on your list then you have not listened carefully enough.
Can't help noticing that all the favourite guitar players are men. May I humbly recommend a listen to Joni Mitchell, Laura Marling, Lucinda Williams, Gwennifor Raymond and doubtless dozens of other players standing outside this gentleman's club. Open the curtains men and take a look. Signed A Man
I'll watch the world cup on TV, of course I will and be rooting for England and Scotland and, I pray, Wales. But if you want to see a match it's only £29 to watch Wycombe Wanderers. Less if you're old or young. Absolute bargain 👌
Not sure they were ever in the Labour fold anyhoo. Come to think of it they are not even in the fold of decent human beings, most of whom think that killing animals for fun is horrible and wrong.
I would say 'flawless'. Is there a better literary adaptation any where?
