The image is a meme depicting a humorous interaction where an English teacher uses proper grammar to thwart a vampire's attempt to enter a house. A vampire asks, "can i come in?". The person inside replies, "i don't know, can you?". This response highlights the grammatical difference between "can" (ability) and "may" (permission). The text below the image explains that the vampire was "foiled yet again by the English teacher's pedantry".

The legend that is Chiitan continues to like most of the art I post. I can’t tell you how much that means to me.

I have a #buyastrangerabook day offer to tell you about.

@humanaqvi.bsky.social will buy one lucky person a copy of Chris McCausland's new memoir, "Keep Laughing".

(blurb in 2nd pic).

If you've not benefitted from #buyastrangerabook before & would like it, get in touch!

UK only.
Front cover of Chris's book. Blurb for the book. The perfect feel-good gift for fans of comedy and Strictly alike. 'Oh my God, so funny, so nostalgic.I loved it!’ ALAN CARR Already one of the country's best loved comedians, Chris McCausland's participation on Strictly was a phenomenon. But how did the boy from Liverpool end up winning the hearts of the nation?This is his remarkable story, of a twenty-five-year journey through sight loss to blindness. Of the highs, the lows and the downright hilarious along the way. From being a lowlife conker dealer, and running his very own bootlegging empire (kind of) . . .to almost becoming a spy for MI5 (really). And of how he dared himself to try stand-up comedy, and ended up being brilliant on all your favourite TV shows. Before, of course, he surprised himself, as well as everybody else, when he tried dancing on live TV in front of millions. Warm, honest, insightful and laugh-out-loud funny, this is the most likeable, cheering and uplifting book of the year!

Delightful detail from the Roman “unswept floor” mosaic by Heraclitus, showing a mouse nibbling a walnut.

Superb use of darker tiles for subtle shadow effect!

2nd century AD. Vatican Museums www.museivaticani.va/content/muse...

#MosaicMonday
#Archaeology
The image shows detail from a floor mosaic of a brown mouse on a pale background facing left with its nose close to half a walnut in its shell. The mouse has a long thin tail stretched out behind. The mosaicist has used a mix of lighter and darker brown tiles for the mouse’s body to hint at fur. The walnut is created with warmer light and dark brown tiles. Slightly darker background tiles have been used beneath the mouse and walnut to create subtle shadows
