Fascinated to learn that the ancient Visigoths were actually two distinct tribes. There were the Low-Visigoths, who had the skills and know how to make tunics that made them near invisible to their enemies and then there were the Hi-Visigoths.... who didnt. #History #Ironage

Grunge didn't exist as a musical style. There were only two "Grunge" bands Nirvanna and possibly Mudhoney thats it.

A gentle reminder of the word ‘matutolypea’: grumpiness or downheartedness first thing in the morning. Based on Latin and Greek, literally ‘morning grief’, or ‘sorrow of the dawn’.

Some time ago I wrote this about escaping small towns...some time later my good mate @JBHollisMusic added some nifty production and bass. Listen to Arc by Modulo on #SoundCloud on.soundcloud.com/Eptr2

Word of the day is another old favourite. A 'mumpsimus' (16th century) is someone who insists that they are right, despite clear evidence that they are not.

No GP appointments = missed vital diagnoses, and more pressure on our ambulance services & hospitals. As I said here, the Tory govt's failure to get to grips with this crisis is creating a ticking time bomb for our #NHS tinyurl.com/mrydneky

Nice day, spent some time painting the fences and because I'm of a certain age, obviously I imagined that Mr Myagi had told me to it.

Hearing on @bbc5live how a Ukrainian woman and her 8-year-old daughter slept rough for 4 days and nights in freezing temperatures to cross the Polish border, only to be refused entry to the UK at Calais. Compassion is not complex.
