"In a way, the Enterprise and the optimistic future in which it exists might be thought of as a reminder of what we can achieve when we really try." - Gene Roddenberry

Happy future launch day to the U.S.S. Enterprise, NCC-1701-D. Model credits in the alt text of the image.

At the New Hampshire Telephone Museum in Warner, NH. Their slogan is “live free and dial”

A display of more than a dozen early telephones, most of the wooden coffin style with separate ear and mouthpieces, and external bells.

A display of six telephone headsets from the mid-20th century under the heading “Around the World”. All six feature a separate base and handset, and are made out of black Bakelite.

An early coin operated pay phone from the late 1800s. It has a separate ear and mouthpiece, and slots for coins in the wooden base

A large telephone switch, reaching almost to the ceiling. The sign reads “please remove foul weather gear before entering the switch room.”

My local Kwik Fit mechanics don't look like that, I can tell you.

I didn't know about this, and I really feel I should have done.

A while back Historic England asked for my opinion on which was the oldest pub in London. The result is a new online article that outlines the variables, busts some myths, and points to a couple of genuinely ancient pubs in and around the city...
