DEVON-BAVARIAN ARTEFACT GOOSEFAIR As a parallel universe to my Dark Lustre books, I'm showcasing objects and ideas that were inspirational to the books. You can follow this ongoing History In XXX Objects here: roywilkinson.co.uk/2023/12/05/a-h… More on DL here: roywilkinson.co.uk

@GaryTomWilliams Nein, Gary! Come on you Spurs!!

Fair to say that the Europa League Final 2025 has been completely devalued by the presence of a couple of also rans from the English game. Is the rest of Europe really that bad at football that our 16th and 17th best teams have managed to get this far? A ridiculous spectacle.

@HarrySword Word indeed. Had completely forgotten how much better Branston are – but both not a patch on any brand of organic beans?

Branston smashing Heinz in Tesco today, the way it should be. IYKYK #branston #beans

@quantick Very good, thanks. I like this idea: Bowie "went out with most people".

@HarrySword A new high even for The Sword Energies!

Here D.Grimes has strong ‘wayward Verhoeven cyborg that has pulled out its ‘stomach wires’ and is repeatedly singing Journey ‘don’t stop believing’ on NETWORK SEVEN in wildly modulating pitch until Arnie removes its head with a cigar clamped between his teeth live on air’ energy

@JahDuran Word indeed, John. I tried to get across the rare quality of this book here: caughtbytheriver.net/2024/01/revolu…

@HarrySword Hope he won't be teaming up with the 'wolf man of Doherty'. Those lot are always extending their territories, to calamitous extent.

Been researching ‘the mole man of Hackney’. People who make tunnels/illicitly extend their own odd ‘territory’ are absolutely fascinating.

Well then, it's time to go. Sailing now, looking out for Orcas, lighthouses and always, always, always the sea... Thank you all you lovely people at @Krankenhausfest & @muncastercastle, all the crew & staff for your hard work! Auf Wiedersehen! Take care! See you next year!🤞🚴

*Sheer* Verhoeven. They can run 80 miles per hour and hunt/skin elk with terrifying, deft efficiency. Cold water sensory deprivation chamber. Then soft lighting and classical music. Schnapps, discussion of the need for ‘perfect synergy in the Helsinki bunker experiments’

@hoffnungsmasch1 @Krankenhausfest All the best, sir. Like the yellow Dutch bike...

Cycled the sea today into Zeeland via Philipsdam and Grevelingendam on my way to @Krankenhausfest. Lots of windmills old and new en route and a heron was curious roadside. Thought about swapping bikes in Zevenbergen but resisted.😁🌊🚴🏕️🌳🍻🏳️‍🌈

@richardjparfitt Bad news indeed – a bright and wild spark snuffed out terribly early. Best wishes to Carl's family and friends.

Carl Bevan was a brilliant drummer, a brilliant artist and a brilliant friend. So long little brother X

Very best wishes to Christoph of North Rhine-Westphalia – cycling, for the forth time, to Sea Power's Krankenhaus Festival, all the way from Germany.

@hoyer_kat Lovely to hear. But the Garibaldi might take you right back to 19th century nationalism?

In my ongoing acculturation process in Britain, I am happy to report that my foray into biscuit culture can only be described as an unmitigated success. Nothing takes your mind off German history like a Jammie Dodger or a Custard Cream. 🍪🇩🇪🇬🇧

@quantick The Milky Bar Kunt?

RIP Jack Karlson. Obviously ‘Democracy Manifest’ and ‘Succulent Chinese Meal’ are the bangers but what are your deep cuts? Mine is “Ah yes, I see that you know your judo well.”

@simon_price01 But which one is Baby Sturmbannführer?

@martin_carr This image must surely lead to a whole Netflix series?

@HarrySword M8, was with you 1010% props until DISPOSABLE BBQ. Hope you don't mind me saying, but don't like those dirty dogs.

Drinking scrumpy out of a coffee mug and cooking a massive Hogs Pudding on a disposable bbq in the pissing rain. That’s the stuff! #Cornwall

@quantick Maybe sounds a bit daft now but when Morrissey released National Front Disco in 1992, I, for one, didn't imagine it was a plain-sight foreshadowing of <something...> (In fact, I really still don't see the track as simply a pro-racist cri de couer etc).
