- Happy Burns Night everyone! Too many wonderful lines to quote but... this is my annual (not daily!) favourite... "This truth fand honest Tam o’ Shanter, As he frae Ayr ae night did canter, (Auld Ayr, wham ne’er a town surpasses, For honest men and bonny lasses.)"
- Now, he's being trolled by Carrickfergus 😉🤭
- A wonderful example from Chichester Cathedral - from @jdmccafferty.bsky.social - of the rewriting of the past in action and the literal erasure of a disliked leader from history... it didn't just happen to pharaoh Akhenaten, although that's possibly the most famous example 🙂
- Surprisingly, I don't think our collective governments should demand an apology from Trump. Our collective veteran associations should sue him. Sue him until the pips squeak. It's the only language he understands. @eddavey.libdems.org.uk @profgsheffield.bsky.social
- Just a quick wee plug for anyone interested in going to this year's Irish Post Medieval Archaeology Group conference in Waterford - it's a cracking theme with a superb line-up of speakers - and they're a lovely welcoming bunch too! Hopefully see you there 🙂
- Oh very good 🙂!
- When you're out at an event and you just know that the photo is going to make you look like you've got a stag growing out of your head...
- 'Potential' doing a lot of heavy lifting here.
- This is the kind of thing we expect to see in Russia, China or any authoritarian state. Oh. Wait a minute...
