4 years ago today - a final kick about on a somewhat overgrown Bootham Crescent pitch amid the ongoing archaeological dig to retrieve the ashes of fans prior to demolition. I miss the old ground. Glad to have captured the final days in my books yorktonebooks.bigcartel.com

“The Antediluvians recognize an old acquaintance”
This cartoon appeared in Punch magazine, 27/07/1861 - linking the old age of our Dino friends with the previous appearances of the “Great Comet of 1861”
The comet is now designated C/1861 J1, and is due to return in 2267 so…see you then, yeah??

In June 1919, navigator Arthur Brown, this black cat toy called Twinkletoes, and pilot John Alcock made the first nonstop Atlantic flight. Twinkletoes rode in Arthur’s Jacket. Both men had served in the Royal Flying Corps during WWI. You can see him in RAF Cosford Museum.

The East Anglian Folklore Centre is having a fundraiser. We desperately want to keep our space open and have achieved so much this last year.
But for it to continue we need your support. As little as 50p and a share would mean the world.

I loved this game. A great sound track as well.
It's the 10th anniversary of Everybody's Gone to the Rapture. Here's a thread of images that very few people will have seen. Thanks to the opportunity that Sony Santa Monica gave us, we had the freedom to explore ideas, even if that meant we left a lot of amazing work on the cutting room floor...

Anyone else playing Oblivion? As a Souls player I have to keep reminding myself that bimbling around is all part of the Scrolls experience. You can totally chill out between fights. Here I am in my Nord about town silk outfit. I'd so wear this IRL and have my hair like that too.
