The only phone numbers I know by heart anymore:
- mine
- my wife’s
- my landline number from when I first moved to LA
- my childhood home
- a Philadelphia community helpline that advertised on local TV with the jingle “CALL for ACT-ION! GREENwood SEVen five THREE one TWO!”

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Time to ban moorland burning.

Ban Driven Grouse Shooting!
It destroys ecosystems, is ridden with criminality, causes flooding, concentrates land with a tiny minority of bloodthirsty maniacs, and after all that, is a shit excuse for a sport anyway.

It destroys ecosystems, exterminates our large mammals and birds of prey, releases huge amounts of carbon and as a 'sport', is utterly mindless. It's a blight on our uplands and it needs to stop.

At the 2000 World Cup Australia beat Russia 110-4 but that's just the start of the story. One of my favourite yarns I've written for a while, shout out to all my guys at the Moscow Magicians www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11...
'Half-cut from drinking 50 beers on the plane': How Russia took on the Aussies in the most one-sided league Test in history
Russia might only make one trip to the Rugby League World Cup but the memories forged in the 2000 tournament, especially in their record loss to Australia, are wild enough to last a lifetime.
