Stumbled across this old interview I did on Roman Scotland a few years ago. Might be of interest to some www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

The irony of seeing someone complain how toxic Twitter is and then them making toxic comments on Bluesky while seemingly having 3 separate accounts doing the same is 🤯

Might be almost too late but Mike Bishops Roman Road book is 99p on kindle today. Deal probably ends in 45 minutes so get it quick! www.amazon.co.uk/Secret-Histo...

Picked up a wonderful 11 year old Kncodhu Ruby Port cask whisky inn Edinburgh yesterday. Beautiful colour. Perfect for a wee personal celebration

Was away last night. Could not sleep a wink, no matter how hard I tried. Currently on way home on train and now my body is happy if I drift off for a quick nap and potentially miss my stop 😠

Labour's endless blame game towards previous governments to justify their spending limitations, while wastefully managing public funds themselves, has worn thin. If you can't deliver effective governance, then you shouldn’t be in government.

Pristine beach? Don’t think so. Have counted ten sanitary pads washed up in the past 15 metres! Why do we put up with this?

Someone needs to tell these women who almost have their baps out on Insta, and who keep following me, that they’re barking up the wrong tree big time

There are still modern offerings made on this (originally unused) Roman altar at Great Chesters fort on Hadrian’s Wall

With tens of thousands of objects uncatalogued & having thousands stolen from the museum, you’d think that security at the British Museum would have improved recently but apparently not www.theguardian.com/culture/2025...

Must be rather tiring for Keir Starmer to constantly have Wes Streeting trying to position himself as his replacement.

Solidarity with all my colleagues, friends, and those affected by all the repressive Executive Orders being issued in America. Stay strong. As they use to say in British Intelligence in WWII "don't let the bstards grind you down!

In other news, was looking forward to dinner out tomorrow night in a lovely restaurant, but the 60mph winds mean the bridge will be closed. Plus side is we'll get a takeaway, but been looking forward to the restaurant for 2 months.

Bit of a sad day as I lock down my account on Twitter and put it into cold storage. Had great experiences & met lovely people over there, but I'm really not into salutes even if they are (falsely) ascribed to the Romans. I also don't support those who salute or those who make excuses for them

Found myself searching for an antique fine china teapot today. Struck by how many posh ones are going for pennies on eBay now - each was once somebody's pride and joy once. Who'd have thought the humble teabag would help bring down England's pottery towns and change the way we make tea

I like the NHS but when you've got a virtual call scheduled and the website is down, there's no contact number and the troubleshooting webpage hasn't actually got any text on it, it really does make me want to overhaul the whole thing
