Why did people start writing “lol”? We were writing “haha” a thousand years ago and never felt the need for an acronym until the 1990s. “‘Ha ha’ and ‘he he’ stand for laughter, because they are called out when laughing.” — Ælfric of Eynsham, c. 1000 AD

This is unreal from Sunderland. Any season ticket holder over the age of 85 that has held a season ticket for at least 3 seasons, will get a free season ticket. If they’ve already paid for it, they’ll get a full refund. Such a classy move, love it! 👏 #SAFC

It's the feast of St Swithun, 9th-century Anglo-Saxon bishop of Winchester. Since the Middle Ages, his day has been linked to weather-lore: it's said that in mid-July weather patterns shift, and if it rains on St Swithun's Day it will rain for 40 days. aclerkofoxford.blogspot.com/2017/07/that-t…

Shall we dine in Spring Gardens, Vauxhall on a summer evening, 1741? We will take our places in an arbour, or supper box. At a certain moment, this painting will fall behind us enclosing our box from behind. The front will be open, we can view & be viewed. Interested?

Adding up Nelson’s victories at the Nile, Copenhagen, Trafalgar, plus the two ships he captured at St Vincent, gives you a total of 40 ships of the line he destroyed or captured. All without ever losing a single ship to enemy action.
