    Most Historically Inaccurate Movies

    The thing about Faucett is you could slap any wild story on him and it would somehow be right. Maybe not accurate but right.

    Bronze Age German Grave Was Built To Hold A 'Zombie'

    Maybe he had no intention of carnal relations with his twelve wives after death?

    The Crooked House In Himley: The Pub Where Coins 'Roll Uphill'

    Would help more to try to keep pubs open. Community pubs seem a good idea. White Hart in Ashton Keynes Swan in Elmbridge, two in Wiltshire I know of.

    The Loch Ness Monster

    I love Scotland but it has its moments. (What has NASA got to do with wildlife in some periglacial lake...please tell me?) (Another EDna?? -That was good).

    Jericho Valley: Cornwall's Alleged Dog King Cult

    Ive been there. No Dog God. Its just a rough old mining area, good for mineral hunts and chilling out. Doesnt need a story to be fun...Heck, this is Cornwall! Take a picnic. (Cornwall full of Druids; many of them ordinary citizens. My tutor was one).

    Robot Round-Up

    Having spent ten days in Hospital with few visitors (And asking every day for a volunteer to sit with me, to no avail) I would have been delighted for a robot pal.

    Too lean; I would slice it up and dry it.

    Scottish Crannog Centre Re-Opening 1st April

    Thats our new Address, yes. (Already we are getting critism for not having a crannog.) (We have a state of the art museum, a cafe and seven Iron Age buildings...on land...)

    Bronze Age Discoveries & Findings

    No. Ive been to the lecture; some very interesting finds. (and they say no crannogs in England. Do not tell that to the Glastonbury Lake Villagers)

    Happiest Nations Overall = Sadder Sad Folks?

    Dont forget; in this country we love being unhappy. Gross National Happiness would not work for us. (An idea that, oddly, never has caught on).

    Canal Ghosts & Water-Wights By Nick Ford (2023)

    Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD): Compendium Thread

    Nor me. My Current coat is so fancy it hasnt a label on the outside. (Its Blacks of Greenock on the inside...)

    Yes, display cases are a problem.

    Fortean Sheep & Strangeness Involving Sheep

    Fallow are my favorites too. But these deer Im talking about are the Red deer, I have a pair or park deer antlers, 8 one side and 9 the other. Not excessive but many are bred to have more than that. (Antlers are certainly a black art).
  30. Kondoru

    Fortean Sheep & Strangeness Involving Sheep

    I dont know whether to be horrified or delighted at this idea. (But I do disapprove of those fancy park deer with the absurd antlers; they look silly. I believe Worborn are responsible for some of them, adding an air of respectable-ness. I doubt theres genetic altering too).

    Paul Alexander (The Man In the Iron Lung) Dies After 70 Years Living In Tank

    Villeneuve's Dune Films

    Yes thats it. Dont the Garuidian writers understand about stuff like ecology and working hard so your childrens children wont have to live in a desert? That is what Dune is about.

    Forgotten History

    I can well believe that. My Dad visited Russia in 2005. There was all talk about the church and the Tsars....but the 20th century did not happen. Not even the really good bits.

    Enid Blyton

    My favorites were her retellings. Brer Rabbit in the original is simply not accessible.

    Bigfoot / Sasquatch In North America

    The account related by Grenfell was definitely not something ethnoknown. (But to be fair; I doubt many bf visit Labrador...)

    Abandoned, Disused & Ruined Places

    I get the impression of wrecks rather than curated runners too. The story behind this is not the one we were given?

    Pathological Or Compulsive Lying

    Ok, while we are at it; how many of these minority folk claim to be white??? (And also, if someone is one ethnicity and raised in another....what are they???) My indigenous friend is very white but then she is of the Metis tribe, and now exploring the Scottish side of her ancestry.

    Postbox Cosies

    Im not fond either. But painting is far worse.

    Warminster Wiltshire UFOs

    I checked the index; no. Just because there is archaeology doesnt mean it makes it into myth.

    They have `C` class roads on the Isle of Man but I dont know if they are labeled as such.
