@DaleVince When I was growing up, every room in the house had a 100W light-bulb helping to heat it up - except the dining and sitting rooms, where we had 150W. I still remember the whirring sound of the meter.

@BDSdragonflies They were like biblical locusts at the nature reserve west of Glastonbury earlier this month - several would fly up at every step. This (terrible) photo shows at least ten.

@UKStormUpdates We had a wild old time in Bath - living up to its name.

@BradyHaran @Objectivity_Vid @royalsociety Can't read "scientific stamp collecting" without recalling Ernest Rutherford's "All science is either physics or stamp collecting". Harsh but fair.

@jakonian Nah, that's Rob Kenyons you're thinking of - different bloke.

[Hugh Williamson @HughWilliamson]

@LBFlyawayhome Well at least that answers my question about the man with the short fishing line.

[Hugh Williamson @HughWilliamson]

@aelfred_D It's precisely those first few lines that are the problem - those now-obscure references shout "There's nothing for you here" to 99% of the population.

@The_PBS I remember seeing a copy on eBay a few years ago that had been used as a child's colouring book - lots of pages covered in green and pink wax crayon scribbles!

@HugoGye @housmansoc I came across the Housman family monument in Bath when researching his sister Kate. The Society restored it in 1999. This is a recent picture. I asked the Council to tidy it up a few months ago...
