Cuckoos are seen as harbingers of spring because that is when they arrive in Britain. In Wales it was believed that a child born on the day the first cuckoo call of the season is heard will be lucky for their whole life.

Waited forever for the first Angels story to threaten minorities with the stark grossness of history. Mad to think people were saying every Angels story idea had been done until threatening gay people with older Britain. Fuck me. I love this show when it doesn't pull its punches.

Great interview by on R4 Today, explaining why Reynold's portrait of Omai (Mai) should be saved from private sale (at the 3 hour mark). https://t.co/1vA8Ihuvj3 It is a truly astonishing painting, which speaks to a long history of Indigenous presence in Britain.

Who knew spinning to win would feel this good?

With a saw in hand. And the way to infinite blood in the Cumdgeon, we're set to massacre the streets of Britain.

But I need YOUR help!

So come back seat me harder in...

It’s a joke. Arthur Pendragon was a famous king in Britain. Saber is wearing a crown, which is appropriate, but it’s a Burger King crown, which is hilarious. She’s also enthusiastically eating which is cute and sends the happy chemicals to people’s brains. It’s that simple. https://t.co/USV9udsmRh

As its almost Christmas, here's an supplementary 'Saturday Artwork'.
This artwork is so new, the paint is probably still a little tacky! Artist Robert Firszt portrays Hawker Hurricanes of 302 (Polish) Squadron, in action during the Battle of Britain.

the story also takes place against the backdrop of a nuclear holocaust that, purely by luck of a momentary goverment of peaceniks, happens to neglect britain. the source of the conflict? something about "poland and the russians". again, not comparable, but depressing nonetheless

West Kennet Long Barrow in Wiltshire is within the Stonehenge and Avebury World Heritage Site and is one of the largest Neolithic chambered tombs in Britain.

The reconstruction illustrates the long barrow under construction around 3,650BC.

Hoping against hope that the Warlord Chronicles TV show will actually look like it's taking place in Sub-Roman Britain. A sort of a post-apocalyptic setting where petty kings sit in crumbling Roman villas and Saxon invaders never cease coming from across the sea.

Gwenevere, future queen of Britain. She's head over heels in love with Arthur from a young age and she would do anything for him. If only her health allowed her to be as strong and brave as him...
