...and it’s the 222nd anniversary of the Battle of Pulo Aura, but I’m not going to attempt a better telling of that than this one:
1804. Oceans are now Battlefields.
In the South China Sea a British convoy worth almost £1bn today is spotted by the French.
It should be a massacre.
Instead, Commodore Nathanial Dance is about to defeat a French battle squadron using some paint and the most overplayed hand in #navalHistory. /1 🧵

Fun and games in East Brisol at the weekend as Lawrence Hill is closed for repair works to the old Midland Railway bridge. Fully anticipate lorries dodging the marked diversion and getting stuck under Easton Road arch.

I like that people describing the idea of liveable neighbourhoods and 15minute cities as "Orwellian" is correct, but not in the way they think
"We value speed more than human life. While our roads remain as they are, and present speeds are kept up, the slaughter will continue..."
—George Orwell, shown with his newly-adopted son, writing about hypocrisy of pedestrian-shaming "road safety" campaigns...in 1946.

Wednesday night on @noiseboxradio.com; Two hours of resplendent rock and gothery with David J Griffiths at 8pm, followed by a new Bandwidth at 10pm - tonight's show is a Kids TV special, an hour long mix of obscure kids television themes from both the 70s and 80s. Are we sitting comfortably?

Italy has a belter of a national anthem. Second only to the Soviet Union. You really need a tune you can put your back into.
