I'd never realised that before publication, A Tale of Two Cities by Dickens had been serialised in two English provincial newspapers.
It was the Bicester Times

The robin red breast, the red squirrel, the red fox are all, demonstrably orange.
Why do we say red?
The word orange to describe a colour didn't exist until 1502 in the English language, and all 3 beasts were already named.
You're welcome.

After more than 50 years of watching football (played with feet, its in the name), I can confirm I no longer have a clue what constitutes a foul, handball or offside.
Game's gone.

This will be only tweet about the C word until next month, but I got sent this, as I do every year, and laughed, as I do every year.
Carpe diem, and all that, I'll post it now, before I forget.

As,we pass 10 years since the Bataclan attacks in Paris I'm reminded of the senseless slaughter in the offices of Charlie Hebdo in Jan 2015

On THE parade, on Sunday
I saw a uniformed man
Bedecked with medals
#transport a wreath of poppies, our most sacred flower to a monument for the fallen
Yet, it didn't fit
His age
That medal
Uniform not quite right
Turns out
He's a fucking Walt
With a DSO, if you please
I fucking loathe them

If something's going to happen, it'll happen
If it isn't, it won't.
No matter how much I think it.
And yet ...
I've just had a message
How very peculiar.

To absent friends.
The true #measure of any society can be found in how it treats it's most vulnerable members.
An oft misquoted idiom, being attributed to Ghandi.
Notwithstanding the fact he didn't say it, the sentiment absolutely holds true, and the measure of many countries today is sadly wanting.

They shall grow not old
As we that are left grow old
Age shall not weary them
Nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun
And in the morning
We will remember them
At 11am, I'll be in church alone with my thoughts for a few minutes.
Then to the pub, raising a glass for those who cant.

Was flicking through YouTube last night (yup, crazy Friday nights for me) saw a vid, bloke who's never sailed in his life, making a solo trip around the UK in the boat he bought.

Could you explain why?

Your life was already full
You never had a minute to spare
I only wanted some of your time
But that was to #elude me, during our entire relationship
I could probably even have coped with that
Had you not been so happy to share your time with others, anyone but me, in fact.
