#OTD 19 September 1991, walkers in the high Ötztal alps on the Italian border, found a body melting out of the ice. It turned out to be the remains of a c.5200 year old man preserved with all his kit. Of course, it was essential to replicate him in Playmobil. 1🧵 #PlaymobilÖtzi #PlaymobilInfestation
Playmobil figure kitted out as prehistoric iceman Ötzi.

Given Tommy Ten Names wants everyone to write to Daniel Thomas while he is is prison over Christmas, can I suggest everyone sends Danny an RNLI Christmas card¹ to cheer him up and raise funds for this excellent organisation? ¹ Idea nicked from elsewhere

I'm nesh. Don't like to be chilly, at all. Takes a long time to warm up once I'm cold. To which end I popped into the bathroom to shut the window, in advance of my shower. Went to my bedroom to get ready. Returned to the bathroom, less than 5 minutes later, to discover the window had been reopened

Statue of James Watt. In his right hand he holds a telescopic stick with a frame at the top; in his left he holds a flat object about the size of a large smartphone. He is scowling at the possibly-not-a-smartphone as if he is tempted to yeet it into the sea. On that basis, it probably _is_ a phone.
