It's a gloomy December morning and driving up to the Mendips just now, I saw Santa Claus roar past going the other way on a motorbike. Here, in the middle of nowhere. Seriously. Full costume, beard and hat. Wondering whether I should turn back and go to Specsavers...

Archaeologists don't just care about what's in the ground, they care about the ground itself too!
This beautiful plan was made during the excavation of Pen Dinas, Aberystwyth, in the 1930s. It labels the different types of soil found in different parts of the hillfort

Why does Word assume it knows how to write better than I do? It's so bloody annoying to be asked almost constantly if I want Word's AI help composing. No, I fecking don't. Is there a way to turn it off before I start having to use a quill and paper to avoid it?
