Paul Clarke @paulclarke.com · 02/10/2026From the archives, 14 years ago: a doomed campaign by a tobacco lobby group, hiding their identity (one might even say they were attempting to pass it off as a dot gov dot uk poster). Fat lot of good it did them, thankfully. 232

Paul Clarke @paulclarke.com · 12/09/2026The Great River Race is one of those massive life experiences that terrifies in the preparation, hurts in the doing, but lives happily in the memory forever 370
Paul Clarke @paulclarke.com · 06/09/2026In Whitstable, and my strongest memory of this town is the picture of the hairdresser's sign I took 15 years ago. Don't know if it's still there. 150

Paul Clarke @paulclarke.com · 27/08/2026Filey Brigg: a little spike of Yorkshire jabbing into the North Sea. I learnt on this trip that until WW1 it was mostly called "The German Sea", but obviously that needed some rapid revision for obvious reasons. Not sure why 'East' wasn't a better description though? 180

Paul Clarke @paulclarke.com · 25/08/2026This is the most extraordinary piece of public art. Oversized and imposing, you see it from miles away, get close then ooof as you read the story. (story in alt text) 36814

Paul Clarke @paulclarke.com · 14/08/2026Eventually a combination of historians, naval architects and deep-pocketed funders decided there was only one way to settle it. Build one and do experiments. No blueprints as such, but plenty of bits of broken pot as a starting point for the design. So they built Olympias. Sexy little craft. 29913

Paul Clarke @paulclarke.com · 12/08/2026Well that was quite weird. Some primal instinct took thousands of people up the hill by Greenwich Observatory. I observed them. 3312

Paul Clarke @paulclarke.com · 05/08/2026I have to salute the tenacity and improvisational skills of @liarsleague.bsky.social Katy last night – something dreadful in the plumbing caused the mid-show closure of our venue; with 50 punters on the pavement, Katy managed to find an alternative ACROSS THE ROAD and on we went, 20 minutes later 172
