First review of @crackedsongs CD and book: 'Two voices weave their songs between simple and spacious clarinet and piano... Palmer's stories and poems truly bring these cracked voices to life; Jenni Pinnock’s compositions take them to another level.' International Times

Just who was the first Peeping Tom? Who invented Murphy’s Law? And was the Real McCoy really real?

English has hijacked many names and made them mean something completely different. @TEFL

This is a brilliant article explaining how English lost the ability to spell out who exactly 'they' are. https://t.co/h8QC8kyOMZ

The moment THE WIZARD OF OZ (1939) shifts to Technicolor was achieved entirely in-camera. The set was painted sepia, and Judy Garland’s stand-in wore sepia clothing to make the transition seamless.

Wizard! Merlin (a free birdsong id-ing app) identified 20 different kinds of birds on my walk today on @TherfieldHeath. I'm pretty sure though that the Grayling Goose was in fact a Rook with a sore throat!

Today is Plough Monday.

[Graham Palmer ✎ @GP_writer]

From medieval times, locals in #Royston & the villages made merry on Plough Monday (following Twelfth Night). In many places a plough was brought into church the following Sunday and blessed before ploughing could start in earnest. #BitesizeRoyston @RoystonMuseum @BALHNews

@DigiPhilatelist @PTApostcards Amazing sleuthing! The etching even shows the skull.

[Graham Palmer ✎ @GP_writer]

I'm intrigued by this mystery postcard on ebay. Can anyone identify the mystery church that seems to have the skull of a large animal (possibly a dinosaur) placed right next to the pulpit! #twitterstorians @BALHNews @thehistoryguy @NHM_London
