Amateur antiquarian snuffling about the Mesolithic - Neolithic transition in Britain. Drinker of coffee, unless beer is avaliable. I like beer... beer is good!

@stef18881 Got admitted last Saturday. An the hospital I'm in, Addenbrookes, is currently undergoing infection control hence the single room and although visitors are welcome they're not encouraging them. Besides would rather sort things out in my head first before seeing anyone.

Well 2025 is certainly living up to being worse than 2024 on a personal level. Had a foot infection, consulted Dr. Ambulance called, go to hospital, find out I'm suffering from heart failure. And whilst in hospital weight goes from 51 Kg down to 47 Kg! Oh happy joy joy.

@stef18881 Been put in a room on my own and the reality of the situation is only starting to dawn on me! At least I've got a good idea of what will be on my death certificate!

@BylinesEast That looks suspiciously like Thaxted.

@dave43law So like a lot of other Brexit supporters he's fucked off to live in an EU country.

@FXMC1957 He was also a junior researcher on 'The Great War' made by BBC 2 which was a major influence on the Thames TV produced 'The World at War'.

@JohnWest_JAWS Not too sure that a privately owned company can describe itself as a political party. That aside, of course it's the fastest growing - all the other parties already have a vast majority of their members. All Reform are doing is playing 'catch up' or attempting to.

@TankMuseum I thought you said that you had repaired the handbrake!

"King's Thank You Speech" would much prefer the "King's Fucking Off Speech".

@trussliz Fuck off. Many people can't now afford Christmas due to your financial mismanagement whilst PM.

@natalieben The best way to grow the economy would be to redirect the money being syphoned off into the pockets of the extremely wealthy into society through fair pay and taxation. Along with frictionless trade with the EU.

Very proud of my friend Susan who has written this beautiful children’s book. She doesn’t have the marketing machine of a Walliams but worth checking out if you like engaging nature writing for kids.

@PulpLibrarian Is 'Cock Van Der Palm' a euphemism?!

@miffythegamer Well guess that's another pub under serious threat of closure.

What was it like for a community to live through the 16th century (a time of major change) in a rural valley in the Southern Borders? 🏰

@implausibleblog Suspect the reason involves things like taxpayers money and offshore bank accounts.

@melspence2 @PaulbernalUK If I remember correctly, there is a museum within sight of the Parthenon which houses a set of replicas so it could be a case of doing a direct swap.
