I hope Roman doors were tall enough to allow for the floor being several centimetres higher, or did they have to raise the lintels?

Interesting that I hadn't seen any USAF fighters fly out of Lakenheath for days and this morning several F-15s left even though they rarely fly on Sundays.

I'd have said the "deer" was a donkey/ass.

Don't bother, you can never get a decent tune out of one.

Sounds awfully like someone who sees a variety of herbs and spices as evidence of Musk's ill informed claims that the UK is buckling under the weight of a foreign invasion.
Mind you, I'm old enough to remember when a UK checkout woman asked what oregano was for.

1932 election comes up in many places but none I looked at mentioned Hitler's attempt to challenge the result. Wonder if the Time article uses research on records that were previously hidden in East Germany.

Thanks Nadia.
Ps it was obvious you posted just to make snide remarks instead of saying something constructive.

As well as the quarty's eildlife value, the picture shows a considerable amount of water flowing into the site. Who's homes and businesses is that going to go into if they fill it in?

You mention checking their profile to see what country they're from but Bluesky doesn't show that. Can't tell it from your own profile header.

Obviously, but I asked because posting unattributed screen grabs is how some people spread misinformation about history and politics and when I Googled it, nothing came up about him making a court challenge.

We've got even more goldfinches than usual but we're getting to that time where last year's wild seeds are running out so they're more dependent on what we put out. It's also been wet for so long I wonder if the wild seeds are starting to get mouldy.

Thanks for posting that. I've heard that round our home and never been able to find out what it was.

1930s Daily Mail article headlined "Hurrah for the Blackshirts!" supporting Moseley's fascist party.

Hope that headline comes back to haunt them like 1930s ones showing Mail support for British fascists.

You're assuming anyone in the Trump regime is intelligent enough to realise Saturday isn't a day off everywhere in the world and cares about killing civilians.

Looks as if the artist painted her standing then the person who commissioned it said "no, I wanted a picture of her after she fell" so the artist rotated the canvas and painted in a new background. ðŸĪŠ

The Cybertruck is like Trump: when you think it just can't get any worse, it does.

Because Americans haven't got oil and rare minerals Trump can steal.

So it had nothing to do with Farage picking a candidate who was a shit person even by Reform standards and just days before the election proposed taxing women for not having children?

They weren't the only ones suspicious of Huntley. It came out at his trial that just before the bodies were found in a Suffolk ditch he went to an Ely tyre dealer to change all his car's tyres for no apparent reason. They recognised him from TV interviews and told the police about his odd behaviour.

Probably turn out there's a Tesla depot there and you've seen all the Cybertrucks they've sent out this month to meet orders across 4 states.

Does Farage think if these women hadn't been influenced by their husbands/fathers they'd have voted for his misogynistic candidate who wants to tax childless women?

Yes, lamb shanks have gone up a lot and the last time I bought a pair I waivered at the price, yet they produced 3 slow cooked casserole dinners for the two of us.

Got to love the one who found a T Rex sized hi-vis vest.
