Bit of choirs, bit of pensions, mostly nonsense.

Oh, it goes deeper than that. The Christmas tree is actually a folk memory of the two trees of Valinor, whose pure light was captured in the Silmarils (Silmaril -> ilmaril -> irmarel -> ermarel -> ornamel > ornament)
a lot of people don't realize that Christmas carols and traditions are actually folk memories of suppressed pre-Christian events, namely the end of the Third Age and the Fall of Sauron.

So cool.
Have you ever heard the Bible in Old English?
This Creationtide, listen to the Old English translation of the Genesis story of creation, made by the Anglo-Saxon monk Ælfric in the tenth century - the first time people in England heard the Bible in church in their native language.

Yes, yes you are. Stop cosplaying "legitimate concerns". When you join a far right rally, organised by well known far right leader Tommy Robinson, with a host of speakers who outright say they are far right, you are a racist. No ifs, buts or maybes. There are no excuses for being there.

I’m as sad as it’s possible to be about the death of a 97-year-old. Tom Lehrer was (to paraphrase the great man) my hero since childbirth, and revisiting his songbook on stage remains one of the highlights of my career. A unique polygenius. Rest In Poison.

38. Relatedly, the British (mostly but not exclusively English) choral tradition is musically fascinating. Britain does do first rank “serious” music. It’s just not where people necessarily expect.

Dom's solution. Each side must take a player off pitch every 2 mins into extra time until someone scores.

Love the responses to this. It's really not so bad, most of the time. And there are plenty of little things to take pleasure in, even when it is bad.
So,as a little thought-experiment, tell me something about the United Kingdom that works well and is actually quite impressive. I am not trying to sound like some boosterish politician. I just genuinely believe that making people believe that all is lost is a convenient pretext for shady characters.

This evening one of the very kind con organizers took us to the Vigeland Sculpture Park in Oslo, which is amazing and you should go and Gustav Vigeland was extraordinarily talented and probably does not deserve the narrative I constructed looking at his work.

Didn't know the song (whoops) but it seems an odd choice having looked at lyrics. But more than that, this is...scruffy? I'm no expert but it looks awful compared to Trooping the Colour
I did not edit this, this is the actual parade with the actual music being played.
