I'd never realised that before publication, A Tale of Two Cities by Dickens had been serialised in two English provincial newspapers.
It was the Bicester Times
It was the Worcester Times.

Have we really become the: But Doris but Facebook said so" generation?
It baffles me why people will engage in nonsense social media posts (thus encouraging the lie), without even the most cursory fact check
Just read a palpably historically inaccurate post with many replies all praising the "hero."

Thinking he looked #chic in his #magenta suit, he returned from the bar with drinks in hand
"The #augury tells me you won't be getting lucky tonight mate."

"Nah mate, the birds on that table all made vomiting signs as you passed!"

I've just flushed my toilet with bottled water as the 7th richest country (we were, recently) in the world can't provide water to my house.
A rant:
I'm actually fine with things breaking and mistakes being made. It can be tiresome, but these things happen daily, worldwide.

The robin red breast, the red squirrel, the red fox are all, demonstrably orange.
Why do we say red?
The word orange to describe a colour didn't exist until 1502 in the English language, and all 3 beasts were already named.
You're welcome.

After more than 50 years of watching football (played with feet, its in the name), I can confirm I no longer have a clue what constitutes a foul, handball or offside.
Game's gone.

This will be only tweet about the C word until next month, but I got sent this, as I do every year, and laughed, as I do every year.
Carpe diem, and all that, I'll post it now, before I forget.

As,we pass 10 years since the Bataclan attacks in Paris I'm reminded of the senseless slaughter in the offices of Charlie Hebdo in Jan 2015

On THE parade, on Sunday
I saw a uniformed man
Bedecked with medals
#transport a wreath of poppies, our most sacred flower to a monument for the fallen
Yet, it didn't fit
His age
That medal
Uniform not quite right
Turns out
He's a fucking Walt
With a DSO, if you please
I fucking loathe them

Load of arse
If something's going to happen, it'll happen
If it isn't, it won't.
No matter how much I think it.
And yet ...
I've just had a message
How very peculiar.

The true #measure of any society can be found in how it treats it's most vulnerable members.
An oft misquoted idiom, being attributed to Ghandi.
Notwithstanding the fact he didn't say it, the sentiment absolutely holds true, and the measure of many countries today is sadly wanting.

They shall grow not old
As we that are left grow old
Age shall not weary them
Nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun
And in the morning
We will remember them
At 11am, I'll be in church alone with my thoughts for a few minutes.
Then to the pub, raising a glass for those who cant.
