Something a bit different on a Thursday night - chairing @Jimb42’s Local Heritage Quiz at the lovely Dom Restaurant and Bar - visitblaby.org.uk/food-and-drink… What a privilege - “teacher voice” came in handy once or twice! 😉

1173 Siege of Leicester Ride ! letsride.co.uk/rides/ride-lei… @BBCLeicester @leicesterfest @Jimb42 @leicestermuseum @civicsociety @Leicester_News

So my legend of a cousin Lorcan just realised he was kind of important to the creation of @foofighters @FooFightersUK He saw a video by Dave Grohl talking about why he got back to work after a visit to Ireland. Lorcan was out hitchhiking wearing his nirvana top when Dave stopped

My free @HeadlandArchUK sunglasses have made it to the amazing Heraklion Archaeological Museum in Crete! 😎🏛️

1645 Siege of Leicester (Uncivil War) - FREE immersive cycle tour of 48 hours that shaped The English Civil War - Not for faint-hearted ! letsride.co.uk/rides/ride-lei… @BBCLeicester @visit_leicester @leicestermuseum @BreezeLeicester @CHYMLeics @OweniteAdam @Jimb42 @janet_rideleics

Ride Leicester mascot - The Ghost of Daniel Lambert - Was visited today by the fella whose garden he sat in for 20 years (Iain) after his theatrical days ended … Part of @Jimb42’s latest archeological tour !

@Jimb42 @HiddenHistorie3 Walking Tour started with a meet & greet with Original Leicester Wide-Boy Daniel Lambert !

Words cannot describe how disappointed I am with the disillusioned people of Clacton. This is the slippiest of slippery slopes that has led to the worst possible outcomes in countries across Europe in the past 100 years. Clearly lessons haven’t been learned enough 😢😞

@WilliamShatner Hey Bill, if I may be so bold, yes, Thursday in the UK has been pretty epic. A general election - the democratic voice of the people - rights that the Americans, Canadians and United Federation of Planets all seek to preserve. Not always easy but worth it. Thanks for asking 🖖 😊

Everyone have a good Thursday?

@DrJaninaRamirez Super Green!

Who’s still going strong????
