Very much enjoying this wee moptop (AKA a Gloster crested canary) from an ornithological show held in Edinburgh in 1913. Excuse the silverfish damage - it was used to line our roof.

Went to a William McGonagall themed event last night by the International Ghost Society, made chaotic poetry with my colleague, our poem was judged best by audience vote, won a tin of peas.
Excellent evening, 10/10, would McGonagall again.

If you're interested in Burke and Hare or Edinburgh history, maybe you'd like to put a bid in for this 1881 reprint of an 1829 publication "A Laconic Narrative of the Life & Death of John Wilson" about "Daft Jamie", one of the serial killer pair's victims.

Have you considered 'a photo of you & your professional colleagues in various stages of undress' as appropriate introductory matter for your Very Professional Book?
