Lincoln Cathedral was the tallest for about 400 years until they dismantled a spire there and let someone else have a go.
An earlier cathedral at Lincoln was destroyed by an earthquake in 1188. |

Perhaps, but he’s a historical not fictional character. Not much point having a spoiler alert on Julius Caesar. [Post edited 17 Dec 8:36]

I haven’t but Mrs Sheen loved it.
On other matters ecclesiastical, Wolf Hall had a happy ending with that thieving Putney heretic getting it in the neck. Fantastic writing and performances. |

Go away and sin no more my son. Doesn’t clicking the up arrow just cancel it out? |

Not Soviet Union 1.0, more like 1.1. Only swallowed up by the Soviet Union in 1940 post Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, though part of the Tsarist Empire pre-revolution. [Post edited 14 Dec 0:03]

This Sporting Life. Not only is the on-pitch action (rugby league) unusually convincing, but it’s a time capsule of a suffocatingly tight-knit community about to be swept aside by individualism and economic disaster. |

I saw it in the cinema when it came out because Mrs Sheen loved Kevin Costner so much. The people in front of us left after three minutes and we knew they had made the right call, but we were too polite and/or mean to follow them. |

Slap Shot, for the rust belt locations and Paul Newman’s tan leather suit if nothing else. |

Not a goalie who suits the Championship? You silver-tounged seductive devil. Freddie Woodman has played 197 games in the Championship, and he’s plops. |

Offside? Only reasonable explanation, but TV didn't show the lino. |

There was another handball in the corner near the end. Their player “did a Smyth” and fell down under no contact from Morgan and grabbed the ball on the presumption of a foul. The ref saw through it, gave a handball, but didn’t book him. Presumably thought they had suffered enough by then.
Still, they have to learn and that includes putting them in the middle to make some educational mistakes. As it happens, I had an operation yesterday under local anaesthetic. I was lying on the table listening to a senior surgeon telling his junior where she was going wrong slicing into my eyeball and stitching up the incision. “No, slice smoothly, don’t squeeze the eyeball, the tissue will bunch up. What are you doing now? The needle should be horizontal, not vertical!” It was all I could do not to shout, “Why aren’t you doing it then, know-all?” Still, fingers crossed… |
