Open the gate, grab the torch, and crawl through the passage, and you’re in the middle of a 5,000 year old burial chamber. Thankfully the contents were removed in the 1800s, as it’s creepy and claustrophobic enough. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quoynes...

At the end of the corridor there’s a gate covering a short passage, and a box with a torch

What’s mad is that yesterday I heard there was a loch nearby with a ruined 14th century castle in the middle of it, so I walked there but it’s a different one www.thecastlesofscotland.co.uk/the-best-cas...

“And we’ll bring in Clive Woodward as our Director of Policy”
Rupert Lowe talking with Liz Truss over lunch. A table no one decent would want to sit at.

A never ending torrent of bullshit. I know he loves attention so I try to ignore him. But someone sent me this which pushed me over the edge:
A tweeted chart comparing homicide rates in EU countries with those in US states (EU countries on the whole much much lower homicide rates) to which DHH has racistly replied "You really don't want to prod that chart too hard. Or it'll lead you into a discussion of why Maine looks a lot like Europe and Louisiana does not."

The ITV interview will be like the pre-taped call in show from Mr Show: "If you're watching Sunak answer questions on whether he's a liar please don't call in, this week's topic is skipping the D-Day anniversary". www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhVb...
Tweet from Scott Bryan: "The BBC's Panorama interview with Rishi Sunak is to air next Monday evening, two days before *that* interview Rishi has already recorded with ITV News"

All very well cancelling the Stratford Sphere, but without it who's going to fix this abomination of a junction?

Still eight runners left in the Backyard Ultra, one of the craziest races out there. Started on Saturday, and the runners have to complete laps until they drop out. They've been running 97 hours, and over 400 miles so far. backyardultra.com
