Today is the day! 😁The official release of Ring of Fire in the United States! @alexchurchill.bsky.social and I are super excited, and hope you'll all enjoy it! And if you are able to come, we will be in Kansas City on the 23rd to celebrate it! Details blow!😁

‘A yorkshire pudding like a dishcloth’: how did British pub food get so grim? For many years, UK food had a terrible reputation. Then, in the 1990s, gastropubs brought new flavours, energy and ideas. When and why did it all start to go downhill again?

To Wembley. Just the 23 years since I last saw them. #Oasis

He’s the daddy. And knows his shit.

A request, having had some success on here previously! Are there any Edinburgh / Glasgow based academics specialising in ecology and rewilding out there who’d be prepared to give a lecture or run a session for a group of US students coming over in May next year?

Another one on the hate sells payroll.

Brilliant. I don’t go in there too often now but it’s great when I do - just makes me smile about all the family stuff that took place there. My 21st too!

A handwritten receipt for a wedding reception from The Bull’s Head Hotel in Chislehurst; £84.15 in March 1963.

This is what my parents’ wedding reception cost in 1963. In the pub where I had my first legal pint in 1987, and where the wake for my dad’s brother was held a couple of years ago. We’ve got some family history in there.

Well done mate, best wishes for what’s next. 👍🏼

The Russian Chapel on the Vršič Pass, near Kranjska Gora, Slovenia, commemorates Russian Prisoners of war captured by the Austro-Hungarian Army who died whilst working as forced labour in the First World War.

@alexchurchill.bsky.social @pikegrey1418.bsky.social senior member of the family loved it; amazed by the detail and research. 👍🏼💕

My dad with a copy of Eagle Days by Dr. Victoria Taylor.

@spitfirefilly.bsky.social my 85 year old dad has been reading about the Battle of Britain for about as long as he’s been around; he thoroughly enjoyed your book - loved the different perspective.

Ouch. Glad we passed through there yesterday.

Recall giggling / wincing in equal measure.

I can see no reason to disagree with any of this. Looking forward to catching up for the next round of football based fuckery. 🙂💙👍🏼

Image of Bernard Lynch successfully ejecting from the back seat of the Meteor 3 on this day in 1946. Lynch can be seen clearing the tail of the aircraft safely with the drogue chute pulling him clear from the aircraft.

#OTD in 1946, Bernard Lynch made the first successful mid-flight test ejection, punching out of a Gloster Meteor 3 using the Martin-Baker Mk.1 ejection seat.

Lynch, wearer of an incredible moustache, was awarded the BEM for his testing. To date, Martin-Baker ejection seats have saved 7792 aircrew.

Strong look. 👊🏼

Dear lord. Are they not required to submit character references and parental guarantees these days?

I got Botox adverts. 👀

In deepest Devon. A couple of quiet pints with the old man; he’s in reasonably decent order for 85, and they are still hands down the best pints I’ll have all year. 💕🍺

Remains of First World War Blindata trench at Redipuglia, Italy, earlier.

Memorial of Redipuglia, Italy, containing the remains of 100, 187 First World War soldiers.

La traviata at Holland Park, and will do! 👍🏼💙

To the V&A for the Cartier exhibition and then the opera. More culture than a yoghurt factory, me.
