A dog’s paw print on a Roman clay tile 🐾 🐕 😍

About 2,000 years-ago, a dog made its mark for ‘pawsterity’ when it wandered across the wet tile laid out to dry before firing.

I did this when I was 12. I never wrote for a national newspaper though.
OMG. The Guardian have confused Kenneth Clark, presenter of the 1969 series 'Civilisation' with Tory ex-MP & former Chancellor Kenneth Clarke in their review of the new BBC series 'Civilisations:Rise & Fall'

Had a pyjama day with the daughter today. Played Switch, watched telly and a film, made tacos, just did a science experiment. She's happy as a pig in shit but my body is very cross I've not walked further than 6 meters without sitting down again.

My great goodness!
German gymnast Johanna Quaas, who holds the Guinness world record as the oldest competitive gymnast in the world, turned 100 yesterday.

She started gymnastics at the age of 56 and broke the record in 2012, at the age of 86, when she performed a floor and beam routine.

Was too big to move in a bucket

Get fucked, you melt. In The Night Garden is a masterpiece. Along with million other things nobody else would do. 'Current affairs' yeah, like your house in Clacton? Wanker. You are, and always have been, a cultural traitor.
