Observe Watson that the circles are arranged systematically from one end of the field, and that they are not all the same size. Aliens are lazy and always park as close as possible to the ticket machine. Reply to this message | Report message

A chap I used to deal with used to use coat hangers as car radio aerials, he did a minor upgrade an couldn't understand why he had very poor reception until a friend helpfully pointed out that the new hanger was plastic.... Reply to this message | Report message

No a JCB driver - he bought a black taxi cab on the basis that he was unlikely to be tugged by the Police on the way home from the pub - not as thick as he seems. Reply to this message | Report message

Guy I knew at Uni had an old Daimler limousine, wedding / funeral type car. His dad had a taxi and limo hire business and he'd bought a retired limo from the firm. He used to get absolutely leathered and drive the thing but always kept a blazer and chaffeur's cap in the boot which he'd put on for his late night journeys home. Never got stopped.

>>so you have to get planning permission from two different heathen Gods?<< I be getting your drift comrade Tooslow, but its BIG stuff this ere Ley line busyness, The Ancients knew a thing or 3 about where to site places like Stonehenge, Avebury etc. etc. and as for the planning dept, well they're Philistines rather than 'of the heath'.

"where to site places like Stonehenge, Avebury". I'm not so sure. It looks like out of town development to me. Can't get there without a chariot, taking traffic away from the local market. JH Reply to this message | Report message

Ley Lines "The believers in ley lines think that the lines and their intersection points resonate a special psychic or mystical energy. Ascribing such characteristics to ley lines has led to the term being classified as pseudoscience." A bit like climate change then? Reply to this message | Report message

Oh... we're only about 6mls from there. Funny thing today I've burried the old horse and got down through the peat top material into a vein of sandy soil with gravel. These are deposits from the early days of the fens when rivers and streams carried this material and left it on the peat. Anyway in amongst the rounded river bed type gravel were some sharper flinty bits that looked as if they might have been worked into hand tools. I'll keep it to myself or Tony Robinson will be over looking for a Roman Villa. Why, whatever the age of a site they go on, do they always work towards discovering a Roman Villa?

I'm a bit of an ex spurt on all things Lithic, 2 of my friends who lived in Cornwall long before we moved down here were well into flint arrow/axe heads, scrapers/knives etc. so they taught be how 'to look' for the stuff, I have a smashing leaf arrowhead, I'll have to take a piccie of it and show y'all They (Thyme Team) seem to find a lot of Romano Villas, but they also dig up some Bronze Age stuff BC, I wouldn't have minded being an Archaeologist, if I'd got some edumacation. like, it must be an interesting career and it would fit in with my 2 favorite subjects - Geography & History.
