There is a glitch on the site at the moment which means that some posts are disappearing from the main page but remain active and you’ll still see them in the recently updated lists.
Our crack team (i.e. Rich) is on the case but it’s a strange one (the case, not Rich) so bear with us.
My post certainly remains active, glitch or not.
hurrrr
We do not wish to know that, kindly leave the page
Thank you!!
All missing posts should be there now ..
Ta!
Certainly seem to be. Thanks.
My post on agrarian reform in the Low Countries 1750-1831 seems to have gone astray.
We’ve had more than enough on bloody Jethro Tull!
Have you heard the new one by Turnip Townsend?
Great drummer – loved his work with Family
Turnip Townsend would be a good name for a Jethro Tull tribute band, being roughly in the same field of agrarian improvers.
Let’s all join in.
British improvements included Joseph Foljambe’s cast iron plough (patented 1730), which combined an earlier Dutch design with a number of innovations. Its fittings and coulter were made of iron and the mouldboard and share were covered with an iron plate, making it easier to pull and more controllable than previous ploughs. By the 1760s Foljambe was making large numbers of these ploughs in a factory outside of Rotherham, England, using standard patterns with interchangeable parts. The plough was easy for a blacksmith to make, but by the end of the 18th century it was being made in rural foundries. By 1770 it was the cheapest and best plough available. It spread to Scotland, America, and France.
I peaked at Rotherham
Did you plan to go all the way to Sheffield?
I usually get off at Chesterfield.
Chester-feeled
Hurr
Crooked spire, crooked spire
Fondue set, fondue set
Cuddly toy.
Ddin’t know that.
The only ‘Foljambe’ I’d heard of was in E.F Benson’s ‘Mapp and Lucia’ novels. She was ‘Georgie’ Pillson’s maid.
Well today is Plough Monday.
Great, I love cheese and pickle.
And a side order of corsair chicken?
Thanks to Rich and The Mods! TMFTL
Ok, so we think everything is now present and correct. Appears to have been an issue with a rogue Spotify link that the caused problems with some posts that followed it.
Please ensure that Spotify links are the “embedded” share link that can be generated when sharing and that the links must be in the post text and NOT in the video link area of the form for a new post.
That is all.
One day we’ll be able to look back on this and laugh.
Are you sure?
Unless H.P.’s post on agrarian reform in the Low Countries 1750-1831 turns up.
Don’t….it’s the hope I can’t stand.
I thought your post was still active?
You should know, glove-man.
Blimey, that’s a bit dull.
And I didn’t even write it.
It would be a nice gesture to make this thread, cripplingly dull though it be, the first Hamper Winner for the Mods! A fitting honour for those who have strived behind the scenes so hard and long!
People – let’s do this!
A hamper for the Mods? Can they stomach that much Corsair Tinned Chicken?
There’ll be collywobbles…
Have I told you about the time I didn’t see The Beatles?
It’s a tale worth retelling, Lodey!
1963 it was.
Or was it?
Oh shut it!Tell us more!My contribution towards the hamper
By heck lad, ‘appen they don’t write ’em like this any more
Justified Ancients of Moose Mooche
Hmm…
What thread would be complete without a link to lots of pictures of Trump pulling flags from his nose?
Oooh! You can click through the pictures right here!
I think I might know the answer to this. Would it be the thread about The Thompson Twins?
He’s wearing cufflinks. Does he do them up himself?
Is this the first mention of cufflinks on the Afterword?
Funny word – cufflinks.
Cufflinks.
*goes into mystical trance*
Amusingly* one of the things I’ve learned since joining twitter last November is that the “OK” finger-thumb gesture has been appropriated by the far-right wingnuts in the good ol’ US of A as a white power sign. Trump does that gesture a lot, as the pics above demonstrate. Makes you think, eh.
*it really isn’t
I would always interpret that as “poised for a subbuteo kick”
I’ve always thought of that as a follower of Onan sign.
Did I ever tell you about the time I turned the whole AfterWord site into italics?
That was The Fall.
We’ll, not so much The Fall as The Lean.
You want a tinned chicken
Where there’s nothin’ missin’
You want CORSAIR – the chicken in a tin!
(KIDS’ CHOIR)
“Oh, the feathers and the beak
The claws and the cheek
The giblets and the knees
The wattle and the ovaries”
It’s what they want to eat!
So give the family a treat
Nearly half of it is meat
CORSAIR can’t be beat!
(CLAYMATION CHICKEN)
You want a tinned chicken
Where there’s nothin’ missin’
You want CORSAIR – the chicken in a tin!
Hmm, won’t be needing the claymation chicken again will we?
Into the mincer it goes!
Did I ever tell you about the time Lana asked me to direct her new video? Few glitches along the way (those wolves, those vampires) but I think we nailed it
…and then you made the video. Oho!
Hamper My Glitch Up!
Lana’s sexy video is like a grown up version of Wolfwalkers
