PEDM: still pretty faily

I have begun reading Vera Brittain's Testament of Youth, in readiness for seeing the film. It's so honest. I haven't got to the war yet but I'm struck by her readiness to examine her younger ( Read more... ) -

Solving all the mysteries
This is clearly Solving All the Mysteries Month.

Then they (almost certainly) find the bodies of the Jamison family, also missing in mysterious circumstances since 2009.
And now the Somerton Man case is a step closer to being solved as the family of ' ( Read more... ) -
Amused
OH COLIN. You silly boy. Everything about this photo, from the ridiculous outfit to the belly-skin to the expression on his face, is fabulous.
