Here's an oddity - we keep finding these tiny plastic candles washed up. Does anyone recognise them? We've been finding them for about a year now on both the north and south coasts of Cornwall. Anyone else finding them? They're about 4cm long.

My claim to fame was being able to clock an Asteroids arcade machine. Theoretically I could repeat this but it would require access to the machine and too much practice for my liking

A small crowd is gathered around the ring, including old ladies which was typical for the time, umbrellas up, head scarfs on.
There is no date, location, or a photographer name but this picture was posted on IG today by 'sightsofthe50s60s70s' (great account, the good sort of nostalgia) and it might be my new favourite wrestling photo of all time. Beautiful. This. This is England.

I'll do a real life Hezekiah Moscow and Sugar Goodson Vs The Show piece on the blog like last time when it airs, Jan 9th. 161,000 people came to read the true stories this year - it seems like you really do care!
