Ooh, please can I know about it too?

Today's vikingism: the former Viking Cinema in Largs, Scotland, which first opened in 1939. Awash in art-deco viking decor, complete with viking ship out front, it could host up to 1,300 viewers. The cinema closed in 1973, with the building demolished a decade later.

Leeds er kul, en slags østlig Manchester. Lincoln er veldig pen og interessant om du liker gamle ting - York med færre turister.

In 1929 (see photo) it was a tractor 🚜

Tuneskipet flyttes til sitt nye hjem på det nye vikingtidsmuseet på Bygdøy Dersom Tuneskipet hadde blitt stående, ville det ha kollapset under sin egen vekt. Nå starter en nervepirrende flytteprosess.

On the moving of the Tune ship this week see www.nrk.no/ostfold/tune... - it was moved by horse in 1867 and 'with extreme care' in 2026

A good well to have, I reckon.

The website is all there is. Please note that many pages on O3D are still in a beta state and will hopefully be updated in due course.
The most important piece of information, however, is the fact that the alleged name TOROQR(IM) is not written in the og(h)am. I think this was wishful thinking.

This has been a slog but I’m pleased to day that I’m currently checking the proofs, which means this book will soon be out in the wild!

Not quite so odd, but I have still never worked out why BBC local news in the Midlands is divided into either 'Midlands Today' or 'East Midlands Today' (except I suppose that Birmingham is bigger than Nottingham).

Famously, this inscribed stone not only bears a runic inscription, but it is also the only runic-og(h)am biscriptal stone in Ireland (more at O3D: ogham.celt.dias.ie/I-CLA-004).
Contrary to a widespread belief, the ogham inscription does NOT contain the Norse name TORQRIM (Thórgrímr).

He could take up biathlon. Or nordic combined.
