Caricatures of the four principal incarnations of Edmund Blackadder, as played by Rowan Atkinson, each painted on a diamond-shaped wooden panel.

I'll no doubt make a few tweaks when I have looked at it again with fresh eyes, but my quartet of Blackadders is pretty much done.

As I get older I realise animals are much more clever than we thought and that humans are much more stupid....

We are all descended from kings, queens, dukes, duchesses, and the people who slopped out their bedpans.

All of us.

It's a scam.

Crude oil prices, showing a very sharp increase in the last day, from around 65 to 101 dollars per barrel..

Oil prices wouldn't be all over the news today if more of our economy was powered by local, secure renewable energy.

This isn't an "energy crisis". It's a fossil fuel crisis.

44% of UK electricity came from renewables in 2025. More of that plus an electrified economy => no more oil shocks.

Given Trump's illegal war that is devastating the Middle East and pushing up energy bills, Keir Starmer should advise the King to call off April’s state visit to the US.

A state visit should not be given to someone who repeatedly insults and damages our country.

Call off the King’s visit to the US for the 250th anniversary of America's independence With the current political chaos in the US and Trump’s failure to adhere to international norms, and given his apparent obsession with the Monarchy, calling off this visit would send a powerful messag...

Unbelievable. King Charles is STILL set to fly to the US to celebrate with Trump in April. With everything Trump is saying and doing right now - and the hate and chaos he's spreading - this trip must be cancelled. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ca...

Exactly, I've been duped before but I refuse to feel bad about being good! They're the bad person here.

So much of these kinds of data are provided by government/local government for free and then commercial companies reap the rewards. We're pushing back in archaeology but it's a constant struggle to make people pay us for our time and make it available afterwards

Funky Friday and I'm up really early again.

Released 29th January, it's an extended breaks version of the 1973 Vibrettes OG.

Yes! I still hate conflict but do remember with some hindsight 'joy' the sound of my mum angrily dismantling the garage and emptying my dad's dinner into his toolbox! (He did everything for her for 10 odd years before she died so he came good in the end!)
