Sorry, I read that as Rotherham and would suggest you stay in Sheffield and get the yellow tram train into parkgate.

There was a zx80 & a zx81 in our maths department that you could stay after school and use. There was also a 380Z that was locked up out of bounds in a special room. I think I saw it once in all its 8" floppy disk glory.

Millipede and centipede, terrifyingly, imply the existence of larger units such as the pede and kilopede

Got blind drunk, mate shot me in the foot with an air rifle, I stood up to fight him and fell in the bonfire we were sitting around. Got dragged out, passed out and vomited Pastis in my hair. To this day the smell of liquorice makes me gip.

I think the euphemism is "a game for the purist"

I like big punts and I cannot lie.

Two women smiling in the foreground of a large anti-racism protest with a yellow banner and many signs. Text highlights the experience as "HAVING FUN" and encourages a swipe to remember how enjoyable fighting the far right is.

Wide shot of a massive, crowded anti-far right/anti-racism demonstration marching down an ornate city street. Protesters hold signs and a large pink and yellow banner reading, in part, "WOMEN AGAINST THE FAR RIGHT", "STOP THE FAR RIGHT STAND UP TO RACISM."

[Scene is the entrance cabin to a NATIONAL TRUST PROPERTY AND GARDENS] 1 NATIONAL TRUST EMPLOYEE [inside cabin]: Hello there 2 [A young family - two parents two kids - have arrived at the front desk]. DAD: Hi - do you have an activity trail, for the kids? 3 NT EMPLOYEE: Of course – you’re just in time for the Autumn Gammon Trail! 4 MUM: That sounds fun, doesn’t it kids? 5 NT EMPLOYEE [handing an activity sheet and pencils to the kids]: Every autumn, the Reform Trust gammons flock back to the National Trust for the AGM. Just follow the trail round the grounds, and see how many you can spot! 6 NT EMPLOYEE [hearing something in the gardens]: Listen - that's their call [Calls emanating from the landscape]: tut-tut woke-woke 7 NT EMPLOYEE [showing the family an apparently empty fenced enclosure with some bushes in]: They are extremely sensitive and fragile... But you can bring them out of hiding if you put a little sign down mentioning slavery. 8 KIDS [pointing]: There they are! [Some little red faced PEOPLE wearing Barbour jackets and gilets emerge cautiously from the bushes. They are creeping towards a TINY SIGN in the middle of the enclosure]. [Little people noises]: woke-woke tut-tut woke-woke 9 [Close-up of the TINY SIGN - we can read that it says]: Slavery had a bit to do with building this massive house. [Noises from the little people again as they inspect the tiny sign]: tut-tut woke-woke 10 MUM [pointing]: What's that one doing there? NT EMPLOYEE: Oh, that's so sweet… 11 [We see that one of the people is sat on a rock, with a little laptop open on a tree stump, and they are furiously typing away]. NT EMPLOYEE: I think he's writing a column for the Daily Telegraph… 12 [We see close up to the little person’s screen, it is a word document reading]: Are National Trust scones secretly WOKE? [ends]

If you're a National Trust member, it's that time of year again: Midnight tonight is the deadline. It's a shame people have to keep doing this to keep a toehold on historical truth in this country, but here we are. Voting link: www.nationaltrust.org.uk/who-we-are/a...

I can't wait already 🍻

👀 is it a ticketed do this year? I've got a day's annual leave left that might come in handy 😉

No one makes beer like St Mars of the Desert. YouTube video by The Craft Beer Channel

NEW VID!

This week we visit St Mars of the Desert – a brewery that rejects style definitions, brews hazy lager, adds mad acids to its mash, hand paints anything that stands still long enough – and happens to make some of the best beer in the world.

The Foxes Trust, Foxes Pride and Union FS have today released the following joint statement:

"We made some changes to McVitie's Penguin and Club earlier this year, where we are using a chocolate flavour coating with cocoa mass, rather than a chocolate coating. Sensory testing with consumers shows the new coatings deliver the same great taste as the originals," the McVitie's owner, Pladis, said in a statement. Club's classic advertising slogan citing its chocolate content is no longer in use, replaced by: "If you like a lot of biscuit in your break, join our Club."

Omg

Yeah, we're pretty good company 🍻. Just make sure we're home before it gets out of control... 😉

I've just come in from the Sheffield camra festival and it was wonderful to see a load of young people there, maybe there's some hope yet!

We were all about the shipstones mild with a bottle of manns brown in the East Midlands.
