Live in Hampshire? You might have a view on whether any of your council tax should go towards buying ads on X.
Lots and lots of other ways to reach audiences with paid spend, Hants. And I never go there so that the fact I'm served this ad means your spend is being wasted.

Just here to point out that Currywurst is not just the worst German sausage dish nor indeed the worst German food nor even the world's worst food but actually the worst thing in the world.

I'm not sure how happy these two individuals would be to sit alongside each other on a bookshelf, even 2000 years after their deaths.
Varus probably didn't know Tacfarinas, but Tacfarinas certainly knew who Varus was - there are a fair few connections between the two... A short #Roman🧵

just read an incredible 13th Century account of a feudal uprising where a duke's son was killed by rebels who used a trebuchet to knock him off the battlements with the only available ordnance: a peasant's decapitated head. apparently it was the first serf-face-to-heir missile

I think the final proofs of my book on Tacfarinas have finally been signed off & so it will shortly be heading for the printing press. A book about anti-#Roman rebellion in northwest Africa in the early reign of Tiberius.

Back on the bar reviews soon, but a quick pause to let you know about Dalešice 11° Nefiltrovaný. Every sip I'm muttering "f*k me" under my breath. Don't believe the Jay Rayners of the world who sneer about beer. This is exquisite. Flavour journeys deserve respect, keep an open mind 🍻

Freudenpark, Nuremberg 🇩🇪 1st visit. Oh my word! Yes!!! This is what it's all about. Intrigued but this is unexpected. Completely brilliant Northside venue. Pétanque court, fish pond, incredible interior, like a road house but done by a European. Friendly service. The best Vollbier I've ever had👍🍻

Great to properly make Würzburg’s acquaintance after often passing by. The Residence of the erstwhile Prince-Bishops was described by Napoleon as ‘Europe’s largest parsonage’. On a warm evening, the old bridge, a mini-Prague Charles Bridge, teems with people merrily drinking local wine al fresco.

On the one hand this just reinforces that by "free speech" the right actually means "restricted speech for you, free speech for me and people who agree with me only".
On the other hand this clearly signposts that Signal works and we should probably adopt it and dump the Meta-controlled WhatsApp.

#RomanSiteSaturday: The Porta Nigra in Trier is the best preserved #Roman city gate North of the Alps. It was built around 170 AD and converted into a church in the Middle Ages.
The Porta Nigra was restored to its original state in 1804 at Napoleon's behest.
