Selling a bunch of geek stuff I had around as it was just sitting in a cupboard... I don't even know where some of this stuff came from! Apparently there were two Sinclair Spectrums in there. www.ebay.co.uk/usr/fieryfred

'War Scene at Queensway Tube Station, 1941' by Joseph Batò (Private collection)

The finale of the great TV comedy show Blackadder goes Forth. Back then I didn't expect one of the funniest programmes ever to end with a scene that makes me cry every time I see it. Every single time.

I can't get over the fact Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter are 61 and 60 years old!! I just have to face up to the fact I also am getting old. (It does certainly feel like it.)

Alex Winter on fame, AI and reuniting with Keanu Reeves: ‘Sometimes we’re on a groove and go, ‘God damn, that was good!’

If Guy Fawkes had succeeded at the House of Lords, the nearby House of Commons and Westminster Hall would all have been destroyed, many other buildings would have been severely damaged and a lot of innocent civilians would have died. The explosion could have looked like this;

I was checking records and one of the references was this website: www.wymondhamleics.free-online.co.uk/sitemap.htm I love stumbling across web pages that look like the olden days! So many aren't still online...

This week's #MKMonday photo is in our catalogue as 'May Day fun run in Linford Wood, 1980', but that fails to capture just how much it looks like a still from a slasher film.

Parents, make sure you're careful this Halloween! Inside this Snickers we've just found the 1444 map of Boarstall, one of the oldest maps of an English village and a fantastic example of late medieval cartography.

#OnThisDay, 1989, Technotronic's hit single "Pump Up the Jam" reached No. 2 in the UK charts. Luckily, the bilge pump on the Mary Rose had an inspection hatch, so you could see what was jamming it and clear it out. No, hang on, that's "Jam up the pump"...

Day 1: "Friend-shaped" #rattober2025

@artbyemilytull.bsky.social I saw this was on at the museum here (an exhibition about Mary Linwood) and I thought of you - I had never heard of thread painting until I saw your work! www.leicestermuseums.org/MaryLinwood

Since having pet rats, every time I see a post about rats taking over cities etc. I just think "oh look at the little cuties!". I never thought I'd fall for them this hard...

Made a map showing all the archaeological fieldwalking recorded on the Historic Environment Record, thought I might as well stick it on here. #Leicestershire #Rutland #Archaeology

If #archaeology is not political and relevant to the politics of today, then why the need to destroy it????? www.bbc.co.uk/news/resourc... The frantic race to save historic treasures from Israeli bombs.

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday. As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

Here's an interview I did a while ago with Sam Lake and Marko Saaresto from Poets of the Fall, a.k.a. Old Gods of Asgard, about the origins of their partnership, which began with Max Payne 2's Late Goodbye.
