Fascinating study. You state the holes are dated to the Late Intermediate Period (AD 1000–1400), but over what time period were the holes excavated? Were holes added incremently, a few every year, or hundreds all together in a new section added?

Interesting how political leaders, of whatever party, suddenly lose their charisma or appeal. Blair probably lost his shine (before Iraq debacle) at Women's Institute in 2000...

The bigger question in this and other such Biblical stories is why anyone (Christian or Jewish) would have respect for, let alone faith, in a God who is clearly cruel, sadistic and basically deranged

Long before ready salted crisps emerged there were crisps with a little blue bag of salt inside, which is probably what your grandfather consumed

Apparently you can pay by card at the exit barrier but probably still a fiddle for many. I've had to install 3 apps on my phone (RingGo, JustPark and PayByPhone) which often don't open or can't connect, which is just the app crap you really don't need...

Dilemma is/was while majority of Labour voters (70%) supported Remain, majority of Labour MPs represent constituencies that had a majority to Leave. Labour should have moved on (and junked Brexit for good) but is still afraid to lose their Leave-supporting voters.

I too like what @zackpolanski.bsky.social is doing and recently joined the Green Party - and I'm definitely not in the youngster category! This was the age group distribution back in 2017. Obviously out of date, but I suspect even more older Greens now. @timbale.bsky.social ?

It's a well-known problem - see King's Fund reports. Sadly, according to @mancunianmedic.bsky.social the situation is unlikely to get better any time soon.
