‘Too noisy’, ‘slippery’ and ‘losing patience’ are the subtitles to a raucous bath scene depicted on the Voynich manuscript, a 15th century, 240 page work produced by Dominican nuns for Maria of Castille, the great aunt of Catherine of Aragon.

London to have world-first hydrogen-powered doubledecker busesThe buses will only have water exhaust emissions and will be on the capital’s streets by 2020 Bloody amazing 👏🏼 Whilst the rest of the numerous buses and all the black cabs spew out toxic crap. This hasn't been thought through. I would not trust anything with the corruption in UK politics. A bunch of lizards in there govt. Waiting to paint ones image and create conflict just like the skirpol gas attack. Theresa May and Blair both left a negative influence and put people in the wrong positions pure evil.
