    Britain leaves the European Union

    But I'm European, they wail. The trouble for them is - so am I! The Rejoiners and the anti-Brexit media will never give up. If you want to know whether or not the UK is permanently free of the clutches of the EU, just take a look at the outpourings of anti-Brexit bile from the likes of the BBC...

    It was pre-recorded like London's and they know it was. It just makes a good video.

    Happy New Year 2021

    We have TV shows in Scottish Gaelic. Here's a documentary about crofters on South Uist. Crazy to think they are as British as I am, yet speak an unintelligible language.

    Happy New Year 2021

    Why would the Anglo-Saxons arrive in the British Isles and suddenly start speaking one of the Celtic languages and not their own Germanic language? Irish Gaelic and Scottish Gaelic are still official languages of Britain but it just happens to be English which is the dominant language. There...

    Why wouldn't he speak with a British accent when speaking English? We invented the language. You waded in too deep against mighty Blackleaf and now you've made yourself look silly.

    That's £574.52p. That's not too bad. I'll just take £300 put of my monthly wage over a couple of months.

    Prime viewing for Quadrantids meteor shower early Sunday

    I'm planning on buying a telescope so I can go out in the gardens and look at Betelgeuse and Sirius and the Orion Nebula and others. Out there on a cold winter's night with a few beers and with a big pan of corned beef hash bubbling away on the stove.

    Prime viewing for Quadrantids meteor shower early Sunday

    I've got my new 2021 Hubble Space Telescope calendar on my kitchen door. For January it has a photo of the galaxy NGC 2841, which is 46 million light years away. It's basically a 46 million year old photograph. In comparison, our nearest large galaxy, Andromeda, is 2 million light years away...

    Realistic facial recreations of Roman emperors

    Yeah. They would have been painted. I still wonder, though, how accurate the statues are as facial representations.
