These are wooden setts being exposed as the asphalt breaks up.
Horse hooves and iron cart wheels made a lot of noise on stone or brick. Wood was used because it made it much quieter for everyone living by the road.

Pretty bad editing error… maybe he should sue Fox News.
Forklift steering wheel with a ‘spinner knob’ to allow easy multiple turns if the wheel.
Also road cars are not like racing cars where a half turn… or less… takes you to full lock.
A spinner knob on a yoke may be handy, but not very safe.
Two multipacks on a worktop. Mini Cheddars and Cheddar & Onion ridged crisps.
Are anyone else’s crispie choices governed their dog’s preferences?

Obviously this is not Ned’s wife’s performance, but here‘s another one… the Baroque period is simply the best.

Iran is not bombing their own schools and hospitals.
American policy does seem to be likely to provoke elements within Iran, and the wider Middle East, to attempt some sort of retaliation on American soil. It’s almost as it that’s the intention. I wonder why that could be?
We did start this war and we’re not sure how to finish it.
Looking at this previous post, I have only now noticed that Franz was unhelpfully changed to Frank without my consent, or my noticing the change... no problem with Kafka though.
The US is rapidly burning through its stockpile of Patriot (PAC2/PAC-3) missiles by using the $4 million missiles to shoot down $20,000 Iranian drones or $50,000 Iranian missiles. Up to 11 Patriots have been fired at a single incoming target.
Arms suppliers love this war.

The Christian Nationalists in our military seem a bit too excited about bringing about the end of everything.
One thing is clear.
Keir Starmer is singularly incapable of standing up to Donald Trump.
Not good… BAD..
Good.
Common sense prevails…
Two wrongs do not make a right.
Maybe it’s time for a remake of the 1971 film ‘Dual,’ but with a Cybertruck rather than a road tanker.
Fuck you, Starmer!
And fuck anyone else helping a pedo killing innocent children just because he wants to.
I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to
I love this trompe l’œil… always happy to see it in my feed.

2026: and over in the USA, Farage‘s beloved Trump regime already have their ‘Gestapo’ on the streets.
As journalists working today many of us are taught to recognise disinformation when we see it and fight back against it.
Unfortunately there are some who willingly seek it out and put it on their front pages. A disgrace to the profession.
Rosie flat out on a blanket that’s on the bed.
She does tired very well.
