On this day 1605 Guy Fawkes began his journey to London. It would take him several days because his legs were made of old tights stuffed with newspapers.

I see that the County Council's Oxford Traffic Filter PCN system is issuing £70 fines to permit holders. Great start...

That time someone dumped a toy house on the cemetery wall and, when I crouched a bit, some ✨ Hollywood Magic ✨ occurred.

A plastic dolls house sitting on a wall, taken from an angle which makes it look as if it might be one of the houses on the street.

Happy tenth anniversary to the time the Reading Chronicle didn’t know what a plant room is.

Crane disruption
AN enormous crane that will lift a room full of plants into a 14 sto-rey building will close town cen-tre roads in October.
Station Road and Garrard Street will be shut and Friar Street and Blagrave Street reversed between 5am October 15 and 5am October 17. The temporary measures will allow contractors working on the Thames Tower to install a 500 tonne crane that will put a prefabricated plant room onto the roof of the building.

Ah, Bob Davenport's gone then. I first came across him on my precious Newport Broadside Album; the last time was at the South Bank Centre with Richard Thompson. That voice could blast through rock all by itself. youtu.be/NLQdiNgkd7c?...

High-resolution 3D models of over 60 ceiling carvings in Oxford's Divinity School have been published online. The 15th-century carvings include religious symbols, mythical animals, and coats of arms, but there is still debate over their interpretation. sketchfab.com/ARCHiOx/models

Got mad? More like mild surprise that a 'progressive newspaper' apparently didn't care about their writer's unfair comments, bullying and ensuing pile-on that resulted from their own innocuous plug for a local WI. Simply because the WI National Federation had (reluctantly) complied with the law.
