Eighteen months since he joined us, our vicar finally got his name added to the list going back to 1210.

Great day when my Bluesky feed is almost entirely a debate about Jesus Christ’s historicity.

Can we do this again in place of the next fixture for debating private schools

In 1939, on the outbreak of the Second World War, fearing the effects of air bombing, Britons killed hundreds of thousands of their pets.

I am going round in circles. Can anyone remind me of the name of the illustrator/screen printer who does two tone illustrations of Bible verses? He is married with I think three or four children and has a beard. He does art exhibitions and talks on the content of his art.

Interestingly I got four out of five human, and poetry was where I chose AI. But then poetry has only been something I’ve enjoyed reading in the last few years, whereas other kinds of writing has always grabbed me
