If you don’t like Holmes, you won’t like House. It’s in the title.

Every few years, new landlords would come in to ‘change things round’. Never a good idea. Just don’t go up the road to see what the Mont is now…

What Eisenhower really said about documenting Nazi atrocities to prevent Holocaust denial He did not say the words, "get it all on record now" because "down the track of history some b****rd will get up and say that this never happened."

A view he agreed with, but words he didn’t actually speak: www.snopes.com/fact-check/e...

Lord knows we all get frustrated with our local papers but this by @tristancorkpost.bsky.social on why developers aren’t building enough homes in Bristol is exemplary. www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol...

This, on the rugby in the Graun, is a silly stat as it is depends on the fixture list.

‘Scotland have only won the match directly after beating England twice before in this competition’.

When most people watch All the President’s Men, they think the Nixon White House were the bad guys. Labour Together seem to take a different view.

Linda came out of this very well. I’d forgotten what a hard time people gave her.

Guardian obit confirms your hunch: quite the all-rounder.

In 1959, he received a football scholarship to the University of Illinois. The Chicago White Sox offered the young Jackson a spot on their baseball team, but he decided to focus on his education instead.

This ‘Hill I Will Die On’ series is a disaster. Mostly fluffy copy, lightly amusing, given far too much weight by the title. And, of course, BTL everyone is enraged.
