We live in an age where every single day you can read a book you’ve never read before, possibly never heard of, and think, ‘that might be the best book I’ve ever read’, and then read another book, and have precisely the same thought. There are so many astonishing books out there.
Just began a conversation with the words “Because of the nature of parmesan,” and now my children will be taking the piss out of me until the day I die.
Do I have any followers with expertise on England shortly post Norman conquest - 1080s-1100?
Bonus marks for expertise on charters granted to religious houses or anything linked to the Curthose and/or the First Crusade, but biggest bonus points for anything about Odo of Bayeux.

Would be grateful for a RT. My daughter was not a celebrity, she was just a normal individual who unfortunately died from a brain cancer. I'm trying to raise awareness of glioblastoma, a grade 4 tumour that took her at the age of 19 yrs 5 days.
With thanks (Charlotte's mother)

Brilliant eye-opening interview with Stosie here. Pleased to have squeezed in a meal at Weezos before its demise and to have been semi-regulars during those early @parkersarms years (and of course since).

This is the only painting Vincent van Gogh ever sold.
It's called The Red Vineyard and it was bought by his friend's sister.
So how did van Gogh go from selling just one painting to being the world's most famous artist? It's all because of his family...
The quotes on this sum it up nicely.

It shouldn’t be a mark of bravery to say something as obviously reasonable as this (and to follow it up, as @TherealNihal has, by pointing out that it doesn’t preclude sympathy for those in Gaza). But it is. An outstanding broadcaster, a decent man, and a brave one, too.
Just one ⭐️ for this place, did not expect to have to share my accommodation with more than 99 other guests.
Microsoft Word will underline one entirely valid word in three, but somehow it’s let this glorious typo slip by. Feeling quite sad that I’ve actually spotted it and have to correct it now.

The replies to this are a binfire. Ooh, she got a number wrong? Not sure how that justifies Bob Flagman from Hateshire being a massive racist.
You can listen to me and @rachelmcwrites on BBC Radio earlier, being interviewed by @NgunanAdamu and talking about our collaboration, and how the Cumbria Crime series has been influenced by the locations. We’re on from 3:28.
Many thanks to Ngunan!
