Farmer Vincent and his sister Ida are just humble hoteliers and charcuterie aficionados. Is it really so bad they cut a few corners? And necks? Episode 252 - Motel Hell sites.libsyn.com/398906/episo...

I mean, seriously, when you trap a protester under a Mylar blanket and pump vehicle exhaust into it, that's attempted murder?

It's worth adding that the Yorkshire Museum is also hosting an exhibition of the stunning Iron Age Melsonby Hoard 'Chariots, Treasure & Power'. Well worth a visit (even if it's not Roman 😉). Runs to summer 2027. 📷 my own 2026 #Brigantes #IronAge #RomanAdjacent

More detail about the film; it *was* sound recorded directly onto the film, and not a separate photograph playing in sync, which was another early experiment www.bbc.com/news/article...

Was Scottish film Till the Bell Rings the first ever 'talkie'?
In 1927, The Jazz Singer made movie history with the first recorded dialogue on film - but new evidence suggests the first feature talking film was Scottish.

"Toilet" is of course a euphemism of the first order. To "toilet", 2 or 300 years ago, was to wash and dress, apply makeup, etc. To be "at one's toilet" was to be at the dressing-table...
