Surely this is Rowan Atkinson doing a Martin Brundle impression to Martin Brundle without him (or seemingly anybody else) realising?!

As far back as 2500 B.C rice has been documented not only as a source of food, but a marker of tradition & heritage. From Nasi Goreng, to Maqluba & Biryani, the Muslim World is beautifully diverse & home to a variety of rice dishes

Tomorrow, an incredibly rare, once-in-a-lifetime astronomical event is happening! Jupiter will be its closest to Earth since 1963! Along with opposition, it’ll be SO bright, you’ll be able to see its bands and some moons just with binoculars!
This won’t happen again until 2129!

1) In today's episode of 'why hasn't this ancient story been made into a movie?'
Julius Alexander was a young Syrian nobleman from Emesa. Despite his aristocratic background, Julius was famed in his hometown as a beast fighter (venator) in the arena. Unfortunately for Julius...

Up bright & early for today's stroll through the capital: a tour of Roman London. We shall walk the line of the city walls, and then visit the sites of its vanished monuments. (The archaeological sites, alas, will be shut, but there is always the imagination...) #Londinium

[W. B. Yeats @DailyYeats]

The woods of Arcady are dead,
And over is their antique joy;
Of old the world on dreaming fed;
Grey Truth is now her painted toy;

Don't look into her eyes! Spectacular opus-sectile mosaic of the Gorgon Medusa covering the entire orchestra of Kibyra Roman theatre in south-west Turkey - unearthed in 2009, the mosaic is still in-situ, 11m across and 95% intact. #Roman #Archaeology #Art #Turkey

I’m at the Olympic Stadium and there is a break for a VAR check. It’s going on for a while, so I thought I’d take the opportunity to jot down a few thoughts about VAR.

"To understand him it is not so necessary to understand Greek as to understand poetry. It is necessary to take that dangerous leap through the air without the support of words which Shakespeare also asks of us. "

In his chapter on "Memory", Pliny the Elder (Historia Naturalis 7.24) tells us about Charmidas, the mnemonist.

"There was in Greece a man named Charmidas, who, when a person asked him for any book in a library, could repeat it by heart, just as though he were reading."
