Increasingly irrelevant. Fond of black & white photographs and spaniels.

I wonder why a political party set on introducing private health care might want to take away your property?

Thank you for posting these photos from the site, my colleague Andy and I conducted the geophysical survey that revealed the intriguing arc of internal features and is great to see them excavated here!

It'd be a real shame if this photo of President Obama receiving his Nobel peace prize went viral today, for no particular reason

Nigel Farage, Richard Tice, Dr David Bull, Paul Nuttall, still haven’t said a word about their MEP colleague from UKIP to Reform UK, the Reform UK Leader in Wales Nathan Gill.

8 charges of Russian bribery, all admitted.

Reform UK are on the hook for this.

Just to be clear:
- Paracetamol does not cause autism.
- Sadiq Khan is not introducing Sharia law in the UK
- We do not have a massive free speech problem here.
- Britain is not on the verge of civil war.
These are not controversial subjects or contested, they're just not true.

Philippe pouring a glass of the beer he brewed especially for the conference poster session. He is wearing a stripy, long sleeved t shirt with an A4 piece of paper sellotaped to his shirt. The QR code on the printed on the piece of paper let delegates vote for their favourite 3 posters, but might also link to a Tin-Tin comic too...

A half drunk glass of beer with a picture of a gnome sporting a long, white beard and a fetching red hat. One of several beers sampled at the excellent St Huberts cafe/bar in Ghent, Belgium.
