The Hollow Crown. I mean, the Hollow Crown is worth a watch anyway, with Ben Wishaw as Richard II (bonus Patrick Stewart doing the, “This sceptred isle,” speech) and Jeremy Irons as Henry IV and loads of other fantastic actors, but Tom Hiddleston as Prince Hal and then Henry V just knocks it out of the park. I mean, I…

Yeah, there are some things I’m happy to spend the money on, because they work and/or it’s worth the value for money compared to other options, but there comes a point where it’s just like, “Really? Really? I’m not going to spend the money on that.” But their stuff is getting more expensive, and I think there comes a…

I love the Lush fresh face masks, but then, I’m a bit of a Lush junkie. I don’t know how it does it, but their Angels on Bare Skin cleanser noticeably improves my skin. And I really like the Cupcake (CHOCOLATE ON MY FACE) and Love Lettuce fresh face masks, but then I am a crazy person who thinks nothing is ever clean…

My favourite part about that was when Adah suddeny realised that he got The Verse - and not before time. God, Nathan Price. What a monster.

Not quite the same thing, but one of my grandmother’s older sisters went to a Catholic school for some reason (nobody else in the family did), and was given a Catholic saint’s name when she started there. She was always known in the family as Auntie Ciss, as her Catholic name was Cecelia, but we found out from my…

My God, Margaret Thatcher isn’t even on <i>our</i> money. I mean, as far as I’m concerned, she shouldn’t be on <i>anybody’s</i> money, but still.

“Johnny Depp’s palliative care nurse” made me cackle, because I am a bad person. Stars!

The event in the first picture took place in Gloucester, not Glouchester. West country place names that look like they should be typos but aren’t strike again!

THANK YOU. +1

OH MY GOD. So do you mean to say that because I’m a Brit with big boobs who loves fish and chips ... I have big boobs because of the fish and chips?

Ah, the good old British wasp. POINTLESSLY OBNOXIOUS LITTLE BASTARDS.

A couple of weeks ago I went to Richmond Park for the first time on a bike ride with my aunt, and got so excited when we cycled past the place where that video was taken. My aunt had no idea what I was talking about, and so I had to describe it to her, and it was just awkward. Still wonderful, though.

Katherine of Aragon is buried in the cathedral in Peterborough, the town (technically city, as it has a cathedral, but it’s really a large market town with delusions of grandeur) I grew up in. Sometimes if I’m in town shopping and I have a spare twenty minutes or so, I’ll just go in the cathedral and go and hang out…

I thought Claire Foy played Anne as per Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies excellently. After that first scene with her at the end of the first episode, I felt about the same as I did after reading that scene in Wolf Hall, which was that I was looking forward to her being executed already, but I enjoyed her scenes…

It really gets my goat when people - especially people who should know better - pull that one. Like, come on, guys, let’s leave Jesus out of this.

You’re welcome!

It’s really sad when people don’t look after their families when they’re in need. I’m really sorry about your grandmother, and I hope she gets fixed up with you so you all know she’s okay!

You are so welcome! Everyone needs to know about Naunakhte, for my money.

Well, if you want to know more about this kind of daily life in ancient Egypt stuff, a good little book about life in Deir el-Medina is <i>Village Life in Ancient Egypt: Laundry Lists and Love Songs</i> by Andrea G. McDowell. Saved my ass in many an essay.

Thanks! I’m glad to be of help - it’s really frustrating sometimes that we don’t talk enough about what we actually do as a community and what our working practices are, so most people don’t have an accurate idea and just think about what they see on TV. Especially when it comes to very emotive things like working…
