Typical Juniors match then.
Border wars: a football match in 1599 between men of Bewcastle, England, and Armstrongs of Whithaugh, Scotland, was followed by ‘drynkyng hard’. Final score was two dead, 30 taken prisoner ‘and many sore hurt, especially John Whytfeild, whose bowells came out, but are sowed up againe’.

You simply don't get a sense of the hidden architecture lurking beneath Edinburgh's South Bridge from street level until you look at the cross-sectional view.

The impressive stepping basins of the Blackhill Locks on the Monkland Canal, Glasgow. The locks are picked put in light blue with the old Incline highlighted in dark blue. The thin blue line is the course of Molendinar Burn

I know Glaswegians keep some unusual pets, but I've never come across an aerial quadropus before! If you see Nipsy on your travels around the city, please let their owners know. 😀

I have used this mental glitch to rig "stakeholder sessions" with senior managers and academics.
There’s a work exercise where to inform what we want to do next we have 3 stickers to put on the suggestions. By going first and adding two stickers to one of the suggestions almost always guarantees people will follow the heat maps to avoid “wasting” their votes.

I took the liberty of commemorating the event by giving giving the unnamed lane on the old property line the name of 'Thorndyke Lane', in reference to the lands of Thorn and the demolished dyke.

At one point I tracked the history of all the women who flew in the first Women's Air Derby (1929), also called the Powder Puff Derby. Every pilot had a great back story on she came to fly. And bits made it into The Deadly Grimoire!
