Absolutely. It's ridiculous though just how much I get dragged down multiple rabbit holes every time I look at it though.

My talk from the Computer Conservation Society last month is now online.
If you're interested in the history of the PC, and particularly how IBM lost the war to control its future, then this talk is for you. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gIk...
, in that place, whither we advise all admirers of fat stock to repair.
The next article on the webpage is interesting too ....
Was looking at the pub as relation next door in 1861 and been in the road since before 1851. 😆

Now it is our turn to record the existence of a "monster" pig, which weighs no less than 125 stone, of 8lbs. each, equal to 50 score, or one thousand pounds!
This mammoth of a swing belongs to Mr. Carlton, of Tilmanstone, pork butcher, and is now to be seen at the "Three Colts" public house,
Hilariously have just found this .....
Dover Telegraph and Cinque Ports General Advertiser, 18 November 1843.
A "Monster Pig" supposed to be the largest in England - The word "monster" has been of late exceedingly useful. We have heard of "monster" meetings, "monster" indictments and so forth.
Just checking out this resource that found when looking at how many people there are there. Knew the ancestral village had not really grown much and still only maxes out at about 400 people. www.citypopulation.de/en/uk/southe...
I'd imagine the proportion of prosecutions is very minimal in comparison to the number of smugglers. So much coastline to cover.
Attended a talk by Joseph Dragovich the other day about the Hawkhurst Gang.

Just been looking at the current choice of ales by www.blackcountryales.co.uk and the pigs on the labels seem anaemic when you are too used to offerings by @themerl.bsky.social. #AbsoluteUnits
Mash, fried onion and mushrooms with gravy. 😛 I could have chips every day though as it is the best type of potato.
Yeah luckily they do seem to be spicy like dragon flame and more pork and leeky than dragon. 😛
Introducing the inspirational #EglantyneJebb who perhaps saved more lives than anyone in history!
Eglantyne was the passionate compassionate subject of my first book #TheWomanWhoSavedTheChildren.
Great to tell her story for BBC R4’s #HistoriesHeroes yesterday:

Hot on the heels of its frontrunner failed bid to buy BrewDog, Tennent's/Magners owner C&C buy Innis & Gunn. More jobs lost, more investors out of pocket
That's very cute.
Good job you hadn't posted this yesterday as I might not have been able to eat my very tasty dragon sausages from Anthony's of Wellington. #Shropshire
Lots of photography postcards relating to a family in Kent listed in this blog post. There's one where I think a dog is riding a trike and another with a bloke apparently dancing with his pooch. 😀

I know. Why do people post out their content when you in middle of other things and can't delve in.
Well that would move The Wellington up my list then. 😉
Yo @morrighani.bsky.social do you have any suggestions for decent ale consumption around Brum New St?!
Was just thinking the same. Something simple but really effective.
That's a shame. I went handouts first before watching anything today to make sure I didn't forget to do it.
Yes I wanted to get on with a timeline straight away. I'm leaving Victorian Burials till tomorrow as did several shorter presentations today but glad to know it is as interesting as expected.
I did have to make a change to my cookies setting before I started so don't know if that is at all relevant but wouldn't have thought it should affect a chat button.
Yeah I was a bit concerned but very nice actually as came from properly decent butcher. If I didn't know it was dragon would have perhaps thought it was more like pork and leek.
I'm using Chrome, signed in and can see that on the ones I've looked at.
Just think what we could do with that size screen at home. 😛
Just eating some Welsh Dragon sausages for dinner. 😛
