@icarfaem.bsky.social

21st King of England (1154-1189). Me and my mate Thomas Becket, having a good time putting things right that once went wrong. Until he called me Tetchy. TETCHY? I'LL SHOW HIM TETCHY.

I remember it being very good indeed.

Oh and I'd recommend reading this as it's much better than it sounds.

I think the only zombie movies I've seen are 28 Days Later, 28 Weeks Later and Night of the Comet, which had Commander Chakotay in it.

I didn't know that the Star Trek SNW episode "Shuttle to Kenfori" was named after Ken Foree from Dawn of the Dead.

Born on 29/02/1948, that means he's now 19 years old.

Once billionaires figure out how to move to another planet, the brakes will come off for them to REALLY destroy this one.

Nitrate films were sought-after by private collectors, as demonstrated by the recent recovery of a silent short movie:

The Servant Girl’s Legacy (1914)
It is the earliest surviving film performance by Oliver β€˜Babe’ Hardy.

It must be bad being an actor's wife, watching your actor husband kiss other women for his job.

So if you're an actor's wife, who wants to even the score, send me a DM.

Thank you Accurist for ensuring that time passed in the 80s.

Everything grinding to a halt was a terrifying prospect.

He received a Β£10 bonus, which was a lot of money... well, a nice chunk... back in 1952.

The bus driver, Albert Gunter, a WWII tank driver, realised the danger if the bus slid back down into the hinge bit of the bridge.

Passengers would undoubtedly be killed. So he hit the accelerator and jumped the gap.

The conductor broke his leg, but everyone else was fine.

How have I only just found out about when a London bus jumped Tower Bridge?

On 30th December 1952, a bridge worker who was supposed to stop traffic before Tower Bridge raises, somehow let a bus through.

In the death registers of early modern Venice, marginalia often marks the cause of death: drawings of daggers for murders, for instance.

In 1696, Giovanni Battista Rinaldi was killed by a dog. This is the drawing by his entry.

She Was Poor but She Was Honest - Wikipedia

It's the same the whole world over,
It's the poor what gets the blame,
It's the rich what gets the pleasure,
Isn't it a blooming shame?

Still hasn't come back.

Y'see, the NAS itself is expensive... but then you have to buy the hard drives that go in it. They're about the same price again.

I've started with 2.
