Ian Johnson @ianfrenlinsjohnson.bsky.social · 16/10/2026I don't think calling Mesopotamia a route through the University Parks to Oxford is quite accurate. It's a minor route from King's Mill Lane (off the Marston Road) passing Music Meadow and ending near the rollers, not a busy route. I'll be glad when it re-opens, whenever that is. 000 0
Ian Johnson @ianfrenlinsjohnson.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Good news: the footbridge over the road is also open (this wasn't apparent in the TV reports I saw). Bad news: the footbridge has screens either side which don't allow a good view of the road and traffic. 000 0

Ian Johnson @ianfrenlinsjohnson.bsky.social · 11/03/2026I'm sure Trump heard "Tomahawk" and confused it with "Tomcat", the F-14 fighter which America sold to Iran a long time ago. Or, at least, that will be the excuse for his claim. 000 0

Ian Johnson @ianfrenlinsjohnson.bsky.social · 10/03/2026When Trump claimed that America had sold Tomahawk missiles to other countries (including Iran), was he confusing them with Tomcat F-14 fighters? 020 2
Ian Johnson @ianfrenlinsjohnson.bsky.social · 24/01/2026I've just now had a closer look at the decking outside the property next to Manor Dental, and I see there is an electricity supply, I imagine for outside lighting or heating. 100 1
Ian Johnson @ianfrenlinsjohnson.bsky.social · 24/01/2026Sorry I misled you - I was in a rush and didn't spot that there isn't any connection between the Manor Dental entrance/foyer and the refurbishment taking place where the gallery used to be! 000 0
Ian Johnson @ianfrenlinsjohnson.bsky.social · 23/01/2026Oh, I think I saw some dental-related posters in the ground floor unit (where the refurbishment is taking place), so perhaps it's Manor Dental that is expanding. 100 1
