@asda are you able to take old glasses for recycling in your Opticians branches? I've found a few pairs of old specs and seems a waste to bin them if they can go to a charity or similar

NEW: @UKIP has submitted an application to the Electoral Commission to change its official logo. And it’s ever so slightly concerning… 👀

If you play Dungeons & Dragons, this object probably stops you in your tracks. It looks exactly like the "d20" you’d roll for a critical hit in a Saturday night gaming session. But this isn't a modern plastic prop. It’s nearly 2,000 years old, made of faience—a crushed quartz ceramic that (in certain techniques) self-glazes to create that vivid turquoise color.
While the Romans loved gambling with six-sided bone dice, this specific icosahedron was likely a tool for something much more serious: divination.
In the Roman world, people used "alphabet oracles" to solve their problems. This was essentially an ancient Magic 8-Ball. The system was simple: you would roll a die or draw a letter lot, note the Greek letter that landed face up, and then consult a public inscription or a guidebook to read your fortune. Each letter corresponded to a specific verse.
One famous key to these letter-oracles, carved on a pillar in Olympos (modern Turkey), lists a prophecy for each letter. For instance, if you rolled or drew an Alpha (Α), the text reassured you: "The God says you will do everything successfully." But if you rolled or drew a Zeta (Ζ), the advice was grim: "Flee the very great storm, lest you be disabled in some way."

“Santa Claus is real.”
“No, he’s not.”
“Yes he is, I've seen him.”
“You've seen him?”
“Yes.”
“You've seen a sleigh with eight tiny reindeer that's crewed by the elves, and captained by a man so jolly that Heaven itself sent him back down?”
“No.”
“No.”
“But I have seen a sleigh with reindeer.”
“Oh, and no sleigh that's not crewed by the elves and captained by a man so jolly that Heaven itself sent him back down could possibly have reindeer, therefore couldn't possibly be any other sleigh than Santa’s. Is that what you're telling me?”
“No.”
“Like I said, there's no real Santa that can deliver the presents.”
