Only two school children (or sheep) allowed in the shop at any one time
50 runaway sheep ram-paged through a German supermarket in rural Baa-varia, causing shear mania on Monday morning.
After breaking away from their 500-strong herd, the brazen sheep spent 20 minutes milling around in the Penny supermarket before ewe-turning and seeing themselves out.

Yeah, nor did I! It’s the sort of thing I should have known but somehow it passed my by.
Also:
“Wales edited Wikipedia in 2005 to remove the characterizations of Bomis as providing softcore pornography, which attracted media attention; Wales expressed regret for his actions”

Yes. Even Wikipedia was a side project from Jimmy Wales's softcore pornography startup.

Since y'all asked nicely, here's my complete history of Robin of Sherwood. One of the finest TV shows ever made. Hugely influential. Most modern cinematic/TV Robin Hood tropes trace back to it.
As Herne would say:
"Nothing is forgotten. Nothing is ever forgotten."

Ah not one I’ve seen. IIRC there’s an old old one in Southwold (wdyt @pezholio.bsky.social am I remembering that right? Coop in an old church? Pretty sure I was on holiday with you when I saw one!)

It does say parody somewhere in the bio, which I nearly missed, but that word is trying to do a lot of work there 🤣

I think they have form for taking over and giving new life to former church/halls so it may not be the oldest but it looks to be at the older end! (Where is it?)
As to the last part: honestly not sure social media is good for anything much anymore 😅
I bet coop themselves know.

It’s a very specific academic writing convention that you’re not allowed to say something until you show you’ve done _all_ of the reading. Wouldn’t be surprised if these were PhD thesis to monograph conversions with very little conversion.

At the end of 2024 I wrote that I might try for 200 hours of tracked running in 2025. I did it. I also made the 1,000 mile marker, which was complete...

The most fun thing about turning on an old iPod is finding music on it you forgot you loved. (I’m not lucky enough to have a classic but my shuffle filled my heart when I turned it on)

Bit of a weird hour of the internet there, with the timeline very strongly split between UK peeps on Traitors Watch and everyone else on the news.
