I have no recollection of the show's content but it was Animal Kwackers and I still inexplicably remember the theme tune. Bongo, Rory, Twang & Boots were the band members.

I teach history and couldn't agree more. Always annoyed me.

A wonderful shot of a fascinating building.
We visited Lagrasse recently and I wondered if it would ever feature in your work!

Crows will not just play in the snow - they'll teach themselves to snowboard too.
(Thanks for reminding me of this great video!)

The refereeing in the Prem is making me feel like a conspiracy nut and this sort of thing isn't helping.

As Terry Pratchett wrote: No one is finally dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away...
While you remember them, while you scramble over hut circles and defensive ditches, they are still with you.

Last saw them in Nottingham but 5+ yrs ago at Rescue Rooms.
Thunder and Quireboys, though... don't tell me David Coverdale and Joe Perry were at the bar to complete the Donnington 90 reunion.

Wow! Takes me back 30 yrs, that!

The Quireboys in a brewery? What more could you ask for on a Saturday night? V envious!

A chip off the old block. My daughter has the same toy but uses it to make a train shed for Thomas and Percy.
As a history graduate, I play along through gritted teeth and drop in words like 'gatehouse' and 'battlements'.
She won't buy it.

The effort is all worth it for moments such as today, when a Y4 student asked me about how "Basil Brush knew it was an Anglo Saxon ship" when he excavated Sutton Hoo.
