6. Until the 1840s, the Diocese of Canterbury jutted out 30 miles into the Diocese of Chichester because, a thousand years before, a King of Kent had given an Archbishop a house.
Map of Diocesan boundaries in 1835 showing a 30-mile-long corridor jutting out of Kent (Canterbury diocese) into Sussex (Chichester Diocese). It looks very odd.

Confronting Jewish terrorism is not an act of Jew hate

The holds the Rule open and facing the reader and looks down at it. A dove is flying above her right shoulder and beams of light carrying words I can't decipher originate with the dove and land in the Rule.

It's so frustrating that this needs to be said, but apparently it does (and @ellenhalliday.bsky.social has anew for @prospectmagazine.co.uk) - the cost of transitioning to a sustainable economy is vastly less than the cost of not. But too many interests are still chasing political capital instead.

Five clay dogs buried under a palace doorway at Nineveh around 645 BC. Each one has its name written on its side in cuneiform. Expeller of evil. Catcher of the enemy. Biter of his foe. Loud is his bark. Don't think, bite. That last one is an instruction, written on the dog, addressed to the dog.

As a performer he was unparalleled - witty, charming, unnerving, and deeply funny. We will always consider it one of our greatest treasures to have been part of Long John Silver’s crew.
