I used to use 'have a nice life' with people I expected to only meet the once. I thought it was nice until a friend told me he hated it as it sounded so definitive and ending.

Why juries are necessary, as a public stay against the recent stripping away of protest rights by the legislative, police and courts.

Probably one of the origins of the song "A Wizards Staff Has A Knob On The End"

If you are on the train to London from here you can also see Alton Barnes' horse out the other side about 20 mins later. (Alton Barnes/Priors twin churches with the horse in view are also worth a visit, always feels like I'm in a children's folklore-ridden storybook)

For interest: here is Ravilious' painting of the same scene in reverse - this time from up by the Westbury horse looking at the train

Likewise! I also think of this Ravilious painting when I spot it from the train.

This weekend. An interesting feast of talks on Magic & Witchcraft by some knowledgeable folks. Online, cheap (£2 a lecture) & with the cherry on top that ticket holders will get recordings.

Memorial stone where s is sometimes f. Including snatch starting f. Sisters starting s. Reposing as repofing.

Rules aren't rules. Rules: Ss weren't fs...they don't have a cross bar... Ss are S at the front of words... S is 'f' when s is s and s when s is z. Except when they're not.

Agree. But on the plus side I've found someone else who will reference Michael Rimmer. A criminally underrated and forgotten film.

Seeing those masks does make me think Nandor, from What We Do In The Shadows, was right and Crêpe paper is actually Creepy paper. I wonder if the distorting nature of wrinkly Crêpe material was why it was used.

History is our memory. When I was involved in the anti-poll tax rebellion of the 1990s something that was often mentioned was the anti-poll tax rising of the 1380s. 600 years earlier. As an inspiration and responsibility to stand up again. We have long memories & this time we won.

Still doing it. BBC radio news summary last night framing it around what NF says: 'Nigel Farage says report on by election an establishment whitewash'

Stay safe on the @togetheralliance.bsky.social march this Saturday.

And Gods/God just seems like an issue of fairness. If one is capitalised so should the other.

I struggle with this, in exactly these scenarios. I guess in my head directions and seasons are places and characters.

A 1756 ad for a job as a privateer on a ship called "the Terrible" led by a man named Captain Death. 16 yr old Thomas Paine tried to join but his father stopped him. The ship was nearly destroyed soon after with most crew killed, including Captain Death. Join us at events for more: thomaspaine.org

Tell them it is Tarka the otter.

"The new enclosures"

History repeating..

Well worth a walk along it, get a very different feel for the Stonehenge landscape

One of my favourite songs, mainly because it is so out of place with the rest of their tunes

To me, trying to beat each other at the 'catch the bar tenders eye' and 'squeeze to the front' competition seems much more a crowd of individuals than the communal fairness of queuing.

I hated it but... if u forget it is connected to WM, there are elements there that feel like a 70s hard to find B movie, or a pastiche of one shot as a TV episode of the more comic minded Midsomer Murders, that has yet to be fully edited. Shows how much the success of the WM was collaborative effort

It'll end in flames.

Have you seen Sightseers - it is sort of Nuts in May taken in that direction.

And of the Glastonbury Bowl so maybe a holy grail of the holy grail.

I find the writing style of some Arthurian stuff a turgid slog (however interesting they are) but Chretien's are a joyful read.

For me it's the humour.

It's about here I have moments of thinking I can do what I used to and plan/commit like I'm at 100%... then hello 'Wall'.

Lol at "Hooray I'm cured". And 40% "I'm at 60%". I hear you!
