Just spent an evening and a morning investigating Annie Arnott (born 1874) . She lived in my brothers house in Tynemouth in 1921. This sparked off a David Alosuga type investigation into who she was and, why, in 1921 was she providing board for 3 strangers. This meant a journey to a Society wedding in Brampton, a lost terrier in Rothbury with a Ten Bob reward, a Solicitor in Gateshead, "Trelawney hats" and "Merrythought wedding brooches" (which were a gift of the groom to Annie who was a bridesmaid) in 1895, a Stately Hall in Killingworth (where she lived as a child) (which is still there and 100 yards from my mates house, to her eventual death in 1950.
My brother then contacts me to say he thinks I might have got the wrong Annie Arnott.....I'm pissing myself laughing that I may be investigating the wrong person who means equally nothing at all to me as the correct one and whom no one has probably thought of for nearly 100 years.....

St Vitus was a 14th century martyr from Southern Italy. Because Angels danced for him whilst in prison he became the patron of dancers, mummers, and actors. He is also invoked against Epilepsy, Chorea, and other Fit producing diseases/disorders, and is the helper of those who find difficulty in rising early from sleep.

"There were from far countries certain men brought into our parts of the world who, when they saw men dance, ran away marvellously afraid: crying out and thinking them to have been mad. And no marvel, for who seeing them leap, skip and trip like Goats and Hinds (if he never saw them before) would not think them either mad - or possessed with some Fury?"

Oh No! GB News have posted a perfectly rational article about a dangerous disease that's on the rise in Europe.

Scrotum will now be accusing them of being lefties, creating panic and calling for lockdowns.

They’re not perfect but they are the only option for fixing this broken country.

And I’m no leftie.
