21st King of England (1189-1199). BRB, just popping out to sort out Jerusalem. Should be over by Christmas. Once that's done, peace will reign forever. Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast.

Can only post to BlueSky from my phone currently but just wanted to spread the news: Jeffrey Archer’s dead. Someone once donated his prison diaries to the lunch room at my work. Turn to any random page: absolutely mind-boggling blandness which should never have been published.

I had this bit about Jeffrey Archer from the 1995 HIGNFY video memorised for whenever I needed a handy fact about him.

I've been thinking about that pool at the Capitol in Washington D.C. Pondering. Ruminating. Meditating. Mulling over what Lincoln might have thought of it. Contemplating, musing. Hmmmm.... 🤔

Onto the next old reading and it's another Jules Verne Master Zacharius, or The Clockmaker Who Lost His Soul from 1854.

That was my favourite Bond film until Casino Royale came out. Now, for me, in 2nd place.

No idea, but Google's AI (which I find to often be wrong) says "yellow tack" refers to the 1957 paint scheme overhaul adopted by the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad (ACL) I thought it miight be the original colour for Blu Tack, but Wikipedia says no Yellow Blu Tack until 2003.

There's a guy on YouTube who's been upgrading the episodes using software. He's certainly improved Harold's coat.
