don’t know where kettering is or anything about it, but I do know that that Acaster bloke, and Sean Dyche are from there.
Had a web conference with Sean Dyche yesterday and for the entire time I had no idea he was form Kettering!

Found out grotesque comes from grotto which means ‘of a cave’. But didnt really go into enough detail to fully understand why.
Difficult to hoover grottos. Can’t get extension leads long enough.

Still makes me cringe that there’s a statue of him in our city.
Similarly, I know that “peristalsis is the rhythmic-like contraction of the gut wall.”

Here is a thing I know about a thing.
There is an old train station right near my house that is now part of a cycle track. It was the inspiration for the celebrated play The Ghost Train, written by Arnold Ridley in 1923. He used to wait there for a connection at night apparently, and rails would vibrate loudly from trains in the distance. Hence the inspiration for the play.
Later in life he was in Dad’s Army.
