@Kavey I think that song stands up really well. Might’ve had the single as a kid; can’t remember…

DelAmitri Due to unavoidable issues regarding production relating to the pandemic, Del Amitri’s new album ‘Fatal Mistakes’ has been moved to May 28th 2021.

We’d like to apologise for this delay, but promise it’ll be worth the wait!

@DrChrisArthur Awesome! I’d love to know more about it but info seems thin on the ground. I’m guessing it fell into disuse after the railings were taken away during the war, as people wouldn’t really have needed it after that :)

Wandered through Clifton Arcade for the first time in a year this afternoon, heading for a post-vote coffee at Twelve. Had no idea that Del Amitri sat on the steps at the end for the video of Nothing Ever Happens! youtube.com/watch?v=TxbIU0… pic.twitter.com/1zmdmpUFtn

@grahamspiller Come to think of it, it would probably have been more convenient because the gates would likely have been locked to keep out the hoi polloi. It would save you having to unlock and re-lock two gates to enjoy the other half of the garden.

@grahamspiller Yes, I wondered about that. Maybe it was more of a fun landscaping feature, or something. I can find very little out about it, but then I’m not really a historian!

There’s a fairly obvious remnant of it that still looks quite “underpass entrance”-ish, but I’ve walked past it a thousand times without noticing. pic.twitter.com/5N6AM9YYqi

One thing I never knew: Looks like Victoria Square used to have an underpass connecting the two halves of the private garden. I think these are the remnants of the entrances, still there… twitter.com/gothick/status… pic.twitter.com/wZWwsuroqX

RobBryher If someone asks for your elector number at a polling station, this is a good thing.

If you give it to them, it means they won’t knock on your door later.

Political parties can access who has voted anyway through the marked register, so you’re not stopping that by refusing.

KYPBristol The view from the Cabot Tower around the turn of the 20th Century. The camera points out over the city towards St Mary Redcliffe, behind which can be seen the historic glass cone; a relic of an industry once widespread in Bristol.
