TIL the original lyrics to Deck the Halls are awesome and “don we now our gay apparel” is temperance movement bullshit

This has new police tv series all over it. Aquinas and Hopkins Investigate. He's a disgruntled, no nonsense cop. The other is the skull of a saint. Together they form a badass team to clean up the city streets and fight crime.

Exactly the same. Don't feel comfortable passing on details, so I'm limited in what I can see. Definitely a sense of FOMO but I also feel in control (a bit, at least)

"Take your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty ape!"

Opening tomorrow, the new Pre-Raphaelite galleries at Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery. After extensive renovations, these four galleries, with over sixty artworks on display, are reopening. Are you excited to visit?

"But soft! What light through yonder window... BRAKES!"

Just a little write up of my summer research project! I'm very excited to be building this into something for publication in the future.

Calling English a 'rip-off degree' is one of the most blatant exhibitions of personal barbarism I've ever seen. You've demonstrated nothing but the poverty of your own mind.

"Mrs Dalloway-Lemington-Smyth said she would buy the flowers herself, and mount the dishy gardener..."

The prospect of moving to New Zealand is tempting!

A huge moment -- Melvyn Bragg steps down from In Our Time after over a quarter of a century. What a programme and what a legacy! Just a model for how to make great, clever, engaging radio, and a twenty-seven-year experiment that proves there's a huge global audience for smart, scholarly programming.
