Happy 130th Birthday to F. Scott Fitzgerald who was born #onthisday in 1896.
This is also your reminder that if editor Maxwell Perkins had not convinced Fitzgerald to change the title, The Great Gatsby was going to be called 'Trimalchio in West Egg.'
Which really isn't as good.

#OTD 960 years ago 1066 anyone standing on the site of #Hull might've seen the English fleet sailing past upriver on its way to Riccall (pic) where it attacked and burned many of Harald Hardrada's invading ships.

5 bonus points for anyone who spots the (deliberate) spelling mistake on the picture. We do these things occasionally to see who’s paying proper attention.
What’s Going On The With Trinity Burial Ground?
One of Hull’s oldest graveyards has re-opened and, as our cemetery creeping correspondent Angus Young finds, it’s a good place to sit and comtemplate cheese.
