I'm not sure about the content personally speaking, but thought I should flag it up.

Kammer will you please keep up. It's already been mentioned. Perhaps you're not getting enough sleep what with the little babba. Have another espresso.

Yes - A postman once told me "I've danced naked at Stonehenge". "Oh, you must have been to one of the festivals then". "No, I was a squaddie on exercises, years ago" ...

Ditto regarding the argument to have it rearranged into a new-age sundial, but I do kinda like the style and sentiment. I don't think anyone would argue against the slagging off of the current visitor centre and the need to make archaeological interpretations more easily digestable by the general public.

My favourite bit:
"Stonehenge is a sacred receiving dish, like the one recently discovered in Moscow, a relic of a long-forgotten Wiltshire chapter of the KGB."

When it is handed back and rebuilt, you can rest assured that it will be levelled just as quickly.
