The stone Mike wants to re-erect is a fallen stone, not a buried one, and if I don't get asked to help when it happens I'll be one really angry working-class guy.

Which brings me to a personal gripe. Why do the middle class earn more than the working class? We do all the bloody work after all. And as for the upper class, they as just the privaliged decendants of the Norman invaders who took all the land for themselves and then rented it back to the workers.

BTW those who missed the Channel 5 version of Foamhenge will get another chance next Monday 7pm on National Geographic Channel. This includes an interesting piece on Neolithic boatbuilding and some more "stone-rowing".

I missed it when it was on before so have just tried to put it in my personal planner, and it's not on next Mon at 7pm. According to the Sky Guide 7pm is a prog about spiders, and Nat Geo+1 is about Las Vegas.
Can't find anything about Foamhenge?
