About a month ago Wiggo was surprised about finds from long ago in South America and I posted about a find in the UK. Here's another one, Roman mosaic and villa complex found in Rutland farmer's field A Roman villa containing a rare mosaic that depicts scenes from Homer's Iliad has been found beneath a farmer's field. ![]() |

Hmm... Passports have also been lost.WTF? One person tweeted: "Paid nearly £300 for two urgent Fast Track passports with a guaranteed 7-day turnaround. 20 days later and nothing - Can't get through to TNT and @HM_Passport seems to have washed their hands of it. Really distressed." |

Are their drivers being particularly badly treated? There has to be a law against the deliberate burn and churn of perfectly good employees to cruelly "burn them out" for the sake of that extra 1% greedy profit at all costs...

Oh the fun memories that brings back of the removal process when the cassette player spooled what seemsd like the whole tape inside the machine. |

Here's a house cat for you, I don't see this cat running from a mere Dog... He's a BIG Boy... Wow! Appears that image has been digitally manipulated (Photoshop, etc) to make a big kitty even bigger. |

We attempt to explain the 1979 Sears holiday catalog to a Millennial Flashback Friday... We expected to have to explain pop culture phenomena like disco balls and Mork. Surprisingly, Millennials seem well versed in "Nanu Nanu" and boogie fever. It was the humble trash compactor that demanded an in-depth explanation. |

I always wondered why they stopped making the Grumman Albatross as they were a very handy aircraft. Well it seems that I wasn't the only 1 as an updated version is now going to be built down under in Darwin. Amphibian Aerospace to set up Manufacturing in Darwin. Amphibian Aerospace announced today that it has struck a deal with the Northern Territory government to set up a manufacturing plant in Darwin.Cheers. |
