Thank you all for some very enjoyable reads. The breadth of content was remarkably – diverse. Special mentions for DJM for his excellent analysis in his current affairs pieces. You’d be hard pressed to find better elsewhere. Tachybaptus for his Sherlock Holmes series. I have a feeling the Church of England isn’t his favourite institution and Sharpie for her ‘Standing With Giants, A Postcard From Pompey’ and satirical look at the elements. I will sort something for all of them separate from the competition as I’d like to reward new contributors.
I also asked AWS to read everything and contribute his thoughts and we broadly agree.
- ‘Lord Armstrong, The Victorian Musk’, Paranoid Android.
- ‘Afghanistan as it was (1973)’, Porkpie.
- ‘When We Was Fab – Cars – Speeding’, ArthurDaly.
I’ll be in touch after I find out whether the garage is going to bankrupt me.

In other news. Summer Bash 2026 is just around the corner. Join us for the weekend, for the day, or Sunday lunch.
We will mostly be sat around in the sunshine enjoying a few beers.
In response to suggestions I should fund raise more frequently . . . .
