US-import torture pork must be one of those many Brexit-Wins (TM).

Could maybe be used as Pork-a-Ceutical Broad-Spectrum Antibiotic Bacon or to make Ractopamine-Relaxant Sausages.

The real fate of the Waterloo fallen. The exploitation of bones in 19th century Belgium

How did trade tariffs affect the bone industry in the 19th century? And how did it contribute to the exploitation of the bodies of the Waterloo fallen? Find out for free in our article www.journalbelgianhistory.be/en/journal/b...

That's likely to be spot on! Excellent! Thanks so much

Haven't done one of those shout outs on here before.

Can anyone shed light on the first names of:

Two more revamped covers...

After approx 140 years this lamp is still doing it's duty without complaints

In addition to a 'Weisswurst Äquator' (white sausage equator) we Germans also clearly have an Idioten-Äquator (idiot equator). The people behind it are not desiring democratic participation & safeguarding of fundamental democratic rights, but rather the apparent security of an authoritarian state

Again! They never stop.

I have someone on my wall who fought in it. Émigré Jean Baptiste Pasquanet Baron de Pierre Brune (*1766), photographed in 1845.

Not bad

I had it a few times in pubs when Dawn and I walked the Hadrian's Wall. Never can find it down here. I have become a lot 'drier' than I used to be. More cups of tea now, getting old..

Look at my follow-up post ;)

I love Thistly Cross, but that's not available anywhere sadly

When it comes to readily available #Cider, is there anything in the UK which beats Weston's Vintage?

Any recommendations welcome.

Five years today since I stopped smoking. One of the best decisions of my life. Hard to describe how much everything is better since then.

Isn't she lovely 😍

Do you have to pay for this kind of work in the UK? Shocking! Good luck bud!!
