Was it Warburtons bread? That stuff is utter crap, it expands in your mouth as you chew it. Robert's Ftw. Hovis is crap too.

Benedict and bubba, because A: I've seen kingsmen and I know what posh twats with umbrellas can do, and B: being a racist football fan and a wife beater there's a hidden trap skill that bubba more than likely has, and that's a football hooligan, meaning Oliver and Jack would be snapped like kit kats, Bob would go down with a single nut and Stella would be cooking tea with a black eye while pretending to be cheerful.

From Land's End to the Levant: did Britain's tin sources transform the Bronze Age in Europe and the Mediterranean?
www.theguardian.com
Potentially likely the early Bell Beaker peoples of Britain discovered and spread the technology of tin bronze to the Continent, Med and Near East. Not the last time these islands have exported metallurgical and technological revolutions.
Cornwall is one of the few places on earth that alluvial deposits of tin sits right beside copper. Further north the Great Orme mine in Wales was exporting vast amounts of copper all over the place for centuries.
Cornish tin was sold all over Europe 3,000 years ago, say archaeologists
British team says new study ‘radically transforms’ understanding of bronze age trade networks

This is pretty cool.
There is an interesting theory i read about where British Tin was even used in biblical times. Some scholars theorize that Jonah booked a trip to England and that at the time is was called Tarshish.

Bayeux Tapestry delivered to British Museum in dead of night
The famous artefact depicting events leading up to the Norman Conquest of England will go on display in September.

Just in time for the Haaland and Gordon memes tomorrow.
The Bayeux Tapestry is very cool, definitely check it out if you're in the vicinity of the British Museum.Bayeux Tapestry delivered to British Museum in dead of night

I saw it a long time ago while still on display in France. Sadly it does not hold up to modern standards - there are no minorities present, only a few women, and it does not pass the Bechdel test. Hopefully while it is in England they can update it for modern audiences.

I'd love to try and see this in person at some point. I visit London a decent amount so will maybe try and line up a trip to see it soon. I was just talking to a friend about it who is gutted that he's going to be there next month and so will just miss when it first goes on display.Bayeux Tapestry delivered to British Museum in dead of night

It's still amuses me that at one point in British history, Tamworth.....bloody TAMWORTH would have been considered the capital of England (or at least what was Mercia).
I like Tamworth, worked there for a few years but, er....it's hardly capital city material.

The first round of 100k tickets sold out immediately. A cool £3.3m that will likely go to its future upkeep and restoration. Won't be surprised if it's end up being the biggest attraction for the museum of all time.
I forget it's a massive 70m long, I love these long continuous story tellers like Trajan's column.
Great to hear. In Bayeux it's not really given much fanfare, easy to miss. The British Museum does great work promoting history and preserving it, and the British people are great history appreciators.
No shit, without the British love of ALL history so much would have been lost, including huge amounts of Egyptian, persian, and Indian history. Sadly the Spanish were not of the same mindset and we lost so much south american artifacts.
