For the uninitiated, these are Irish Throwing Stars, an ancient weapon wielded by St. Brigid during the 1916 Rising, striking fear into the hearts of the British, and responsible for the eventual smiting of both Cromwell and Thatcher.

watercolour painting of a mountainous scene with a white, long haired and horned dragon like creature sitting atop a rocky outcrop. It has a long fluffy white tail too and a head covered in impressive horns.

The bearded mountain dragon's favourite prey is the mountain unicorn. Despite being flightless it is incredibly surefooted, which is essential to hunt its prey. You can order savage strangehollow here: buff.ly/WMSJMQX

Also, she's so cute and chubby! #birds 🌿

On this day, 2 years ago. I sat in bed and said to myself, 'Why haven't you finally made that compilation of Jim McDonald from Coronation Street, absolutely battering people to Motörhead? So I did.'

Enjoy! It will forever be my greatest contribution to society.
