Henry sitting on the central point of the curry stool (a triangular concrete base) with Cow Green reservoir visible in the low clouds behind him

Just the curry stool showing it's three legged form with a central bolt indicating the datum point

"you see up here on the peat moorland a regular trig point would sink so instead they drove three deep rods into the bedrock and then put a concrete triangular cap on top from which to survey"

Exploring the third and final of the English Curry Stool #trigpoint #ordnancesurvey. See the alt text of Henry telling me about them for more info

FINALLY - Bring on the Molko!

Dunno but BBC are desperate for us to remember them

Ah Spice Girls - finally one I remember - though barely for this track #totp

You mean this lot hasn't been incredibly memorable?

It would be even better without any of them #totp

All body and no neck

I think Pets at Home had this in mind when they created this giraffe dog toy

I was scanning some old photos from the early 90s today and look who I stumbled upon

A "contigo" bottle with a part of one of the letters scratched out

Person opposite me on the train has a water bottle on the table. Is this just wear and tear or deliberate defacement?

I'm no particular fan of Alice Roberts but I'm not at The Guardian levels of trying to deny her existence.

Also if they were to be elected I'd rather "hope" (see what I did there?) that they would be doing more than making us think "hope this lot is better" and rather that they were actually delivering. Or something

Panoramic photo from Hartshead Summit across the wide expanse of the Eden Valley. The sun is just about to set.into the clouds

The hills of the Lake District (Skiddaw, Blencathra area) can be seen riding above the cloud inversion

An earlier photo from a different point but with the Eden Valley filled with cloud. The Howgill hills are rising out of the clouds

A panoramic view of the cloud filled Eden Valley from Shot Moss on the edge of the North Pennines

Some truly amazing #cloudinversions filling the entirety of the #Eden Valley this afternoon as viewed from the #NorthPennines with the #Howgills and #LakeDistrict rising out of the sea of clouds. #Meteorology #weather

Why is the prove me wrong arrow pointing somewhere else?

YouTube video by Richard May London from the BT Tower

Should anyone be interested, here's the view from it whilst rotating. Taken last year and filmed at 16x speed...

Did he at least have a curly wig? If he was going method he'd have to have been agent Grendel

And he still claims to know nothing about marillion?

Yes, yes I know I keep banging on about my fucking book! However, if you want one repost this and I’ll do a random winner pick thing by the end of the week because I’m great like that. ♥️📚

I left my original psp (along with a bottle of gin) on a coach somewhere in the middle of Turkey after a waking up blurry from a 12 hour drive. Had to buy a replacement in duty free later

I'd best not look for that on the work laptop but definitely will look it up when I get home. Thanks for the heads up. FEVER!!!!!

Ace isn't it. I know what I'm doing when I get home tomorrow night

I still love the PSP and dig it out from time to time (in fact regretting that I didn't stick it in the bag today as I'm working away with an overnight stop and lots of trains). LocoRoco and Patapon are two truly unknown classics. Did you ever play them? I sense they might have been up your street

I am new to you this year but are you telling me this story is just some old shit?

An oval shaped cloud (I just missed getting the phone out of my pocket when it was being almost perfectly circular) flanked by trees and a fenceline

The same cloud a minute or two later further down the path. Just one small tree on the horizon. The cloud has now become a triangle

A third photo of the same cloud formation with the same tree as the second photo but again, taken from further along the railway path. The cloud is now, to my mind at least, in the shape of Australia

Final of four photos. Back In an embankment on the railway path with the cloud again flanked by bushes and a fence. This time the formation has changed to two imperfect circles joined together

Morning! Up and out at sparrowfart today with the boy before heading to get a train to Sheffield. The clouds were playing silly games at 5am when they thought nobody was watching

Mind you, for the TV show (not watched it yet) I'll wager they film it in Kent/Sussex. Far too likely that Mr Coogan would risk a driving ban if he was travelling around the M25 to film
