Great Grandad Bam on a day trip about 100 years ago 

McKirdy's of Loanhead were still hiring those buses to the Meadowbank supporters' club in the 1990s...

 

Are they heading for Ibrox or Parkhead?

The idea that the Catholic Church has ever left the 19th* century is quite novel.
 

 

* other centuries may apply.

Apparently he spent about 40 years in the USA, presumably a congregation in Bumfuk Alabama?

Someone has just chundered in the corridor along from my office.

There must be about 5 kg of vomit and its proper old school chunky vomit with a stodgy consistency. None of your namby pamby watery crap.

Great to see (not so great to smell though), makes you proud to be British.

On a similar note, I stood in a pile of cat vom this morning (in bare feet)

Thank you.

Pile of sawdust should do the trick

Go and see if it looks like a map or a famous person.

Amazing detail in an article about Viking history by Dominic Sandbrook.

Quote

 

And when, a few months ago, I visited the excellent exhibition on the Vikings in the East at Denmark’s Moesgaard Museum, I was struck by the scene at one of the interactive terminals.

The terminal was running a kind of game, inviting children to fill their own Viking longship with a complement of slaves. You could only pack in so many, and you had to choose the captives most likely to fetch a pretty price in the bazaars of the East — a comely young woman here, a strong young man there. Most British or American curators, I imagine, would have a stroke at the very idea. At the very least they’d write an open letter to the Guardian calling for the closure of the museum, the incarceration of its employees and an end to the Tories’ confected culture war. But the kids loved it, openly salivating over the chance to destroy some imaginary villagers’ lives and earn a huge pile of silver dirhams. It was a brilliant way of teaching them how the Viking world worked, although it’s alarming to think that if the slave trade ever does return to the shores of the North Sea, it’ll give the Danes an enormous competitive head start.
