For the first time ever, as far as I can remember, I had to stand on the strain from Salisbury to Andover this morning.
I can’t complain, ‘cos it’s much worse in other parts of the country…..but it was a shame it was the morning after the #GreatSouthRun

Hope @MrsTheOldDays Well who knew in 2016 that we had just enrolled on a three year course covering the mechanics of government, modern journalism, constitutional law, crowd sociology, online marketing and psychological warfare!
My head hurts!

#OnThisDay in 1816 an escaped lioness attacked the Salisbury mail coach near the Pheasant Inn in Winterslow.
Bedeguar books published a booklet about the incident which they’ve put online here
On my way to the #GreatSouthRun
Bus replacement service again…hoorah!
#TodayILearned that King Louis of France invaded England in 1215.
French invaders and rebel Barons held London for over a year

Didn’t realise this was on Spotify
One of my favourite-est gigs - Joe Strummer standing in for Shane Macgowan and doing my favourite Clash song

There’s a photo of the actual ‘arch’ here: historicengland.org.uk/listing/t…
I don’t think I’ve seen this before JMW Turner’s ‘The ancient arch in Mr Wyndham’s garden, Salisbury; surrounded by trees.’
The ‘YAML’ file format still reminds me of Professor Yaffle from Bagpuss
Nice homage to the Clash LP cover by @wessexarch
#TodayILearned that ‘globalisation’ is spelt differently in different countries

Most of the companies I’ve worked for have had some sort of semi-regular annual kick-off type event
We should really dress up properly like this, and have the big boss turn up in a golden carriage twitter.com/thomasmes…
#bbc606 re: £30 for Scotland v San Marino….Chelsea v Man United in the @Carabao_Cup is £25 - seems slightly better value!
Although given how poor Man U are at the minute, maybe not
