1 THE OLD ENGLISH VERSION OF BEDEÕS ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH PEOPLE translated by Thomas Miller In parentheses Publications Old English Series Cambridge, Ontario 1999
2 PREFACE. I, Bede, servant of Christ and priest, send greeting to the well beloved king Ceolwulf. And I send you the history, which I lately wrote about the Angles and Saxons, for yourself to read and examine at leisure, and also to copy out and impart to others more at large; and I have confidence in your zeal, because you are very diligent and inquisitive as to the sayings and doings of men of old, and above all of the famous men among our people. For this book either speaks good of the good, and the hearer imitates that, or it speaks evil of the evil, and the hearer flees and shuns the evil. For it is good to praise the good and blame the bad, that the hearer may profit. If your hearer be reluctant, how else will he gain instruction? I have written this for your profit and for your people; as God chose you out to be king, it behoves you to instruct your people. And that there may be the less doubt whether this be true, I will state the sources of my narrative. II. My first assistant and teacher was the venerable abbot Albinus, a man who had travelled much and studied, and was the best scholar in England. He told me chiefly about Theodorus, of blessed memory, who was bishop in Canterbury, and of the abbot Adrianus, under whom he had chiefly studied. All that he ascertained in Kent and the adjoining districts, from written documents and the traditions of old inhabitants, or from disciples of the blessed pope St. Gregory, all that was memorable, he transmitted to me through Nothhelm, the pious priest of London, either sending him to me in person or forwarding a written statement. From the beginning of these books till the English received the faith of Christ, we have derived what is here written from the 2
3 traditions of old men, (thenceforward) up to the present, chiefly from the disciples of the blessed pope St. Gregory, with the dates according to the kingsõ reigns, all recorded through abbot Albinus and the reports and statements of Nothhelm. They told me very much as to the bishops and the dates of the kings, under whom the East Saxons, West Saxons, East Angles and Northumbrians received the grace of ChristÕs faith. And it was chiefly through Albinus that I was encouraged to commence this work, (encouraged) also by Daniel the venerable bishop of the West Saxons, who still survives. He told me much about the South Saxons and West Saxons; and also about the Isle of Wight, (but this last) chiefly by letter. _ And through Cedd, the venerable bishop of the Mercians, and Chad, about the people of the Mercians and East Saxons _, and about the life and death of the bishops, we have learnt from the brethren of the monastery, founded by them, which is called Lastingham. Events in East Anglia we have traced partly from the writings of older men or their traditions; partly we have ascertained them from the statements of the venerable abbot Isse. The progress of ChristÕs faith in Lindsey we have learnt from the statements of the venerable bishop Cyneberht, and through written reports from him and other very trustworthy persons still living. (I also relate) what we have ascertained about the faith of Christ in Northumbria up to the present day, not on the authority of a single person, but from the statements of numberless faithful witnesses, who knew and remembered the events, and afterwards what I myself knew, I did not leave unrecorded. What I have written about the holy father Cuthbert, either in this book or in another, his deeds and his life, I have taken first from the writings I found among the brethren of the church at Lindisfarne, and the particulars, which I myself could ascertain from the report of very trustworthy persons, I have added on. And I now humbly beg and entreat the reader that, if he find or hear anything different about this, he will not blame me. 3

14 BOOK I. Britain is an island in the ocean, formerly called Albion, lying between the north and the west, opposite, though far apart, to Germany, Gaul and Spain, the chief divisions of Europe. It runs northward for 800 miles, and is 200 miles broad. It has on the south opposite to it the province called Gallia Belgica. The island is rich in crops and trees of various kinds, and it is suited for grazing sheep and cattle, and vineyards are grown in some places. This land also produces birds of various kinds and marine animals, and (it abounds) in springs and waters full of fish. Seals, whales, and porpoises are often caught here, and various kinds of shell-fish and mussels are commonly taken, and in these are often found the finest pearls of every colour. There is also here abundance of molluscs, from which is made the dye of Ôshell-fish redõ; this neither the sun can bleach nor the rain mar, and it grows fairer with age. The land also has salt-pits and hot water, and hot baths in various localities, suitable for every age and both sexes; it also produces ores of copper and iron, lead and silver in masses. Jet is also found here, which is a black gem; if put in the fire, adders fly from it. Formerly this island was also embellished with the noblest of towns, twenty-nine in number, furnished with walls, towers, gates and the strongest of locks, besides countless other towns of smaller size. As this island lies close under the very north of the world and the nights here are light in summer so that often at midnight a question arises among the spectators, whether it is the evening gloaming or morning dawn-by this it is clear that the days are much longer in this island in summer, and also the nights in winter, than in the southern parts of the world. 14
15 I. At this present time the island studies and acknowledges one and the same science of sublime truth and true sublimity in the tongues of five nations, according to the number of the five books of Moses, in which the Divine law is written; that is in the tongues of the English, Britons, Scots, Picts and Latins. This one, the Latin, is common to all the others, in the study of the Scriptures. At the very first the Britons were the sole inhabitants of this island, which received its name from them. They, it is said, came into Britain from the province of Armorica, and occupied and appropriated the southern parts of this island. Subsequently it happened, that the. Picts came in ships from Scythia, and passed round the whole British coast, till they landed in Ireland. And there they found Scots, and prayed for a settlement and dwelling-place in their country among them. Then the Scots answered, that their land was not large enough to contain two nations. But they said: We can give you sound advice, as to what you may do. We know, not far from this, another island to the east, which we can often see on clear days. If you will proceed there, you may find a dwelling place: or if any oppose you, we will assist you. Then the Picts landed in Britain, and began to occupy the north of this island, the south, as we said before, being in the hands of the Britons. Now as the Picts had no wives, they asked wives from the Scots. These consented to give them, on condition that, if the matter was doubtful, they should choose the sovereign rather from the female line than from the male; which custom is still observed among the Picts to this day. In the course of time, next after the Britons and the Picts, a third race, that of the Scots, occupied Britain within the borders of the Picts. They came from Ireland, the island of the Scots, with their leader named Reada, and partly on friendly terms, partly after a struggle, secured for themselves a settlement and dwelling-place among them, which they still hold. Up to this day the race is called Dalreadings. Ireland, the island of the Scots, is far superior to Britain in the breadth of its conformation and in salubrity and mildness of climate, so that snow seldom lies there more than three days. No one there mows hay or builds stalls for his cattle, as a provision against winterõs cold. No poisonous reptile is to be seen there, nor indeed may any viper live there; for vipers have been brought on board 15
16 ship from Britain, but they died as soon as they smelt the air of the land. Besides, almost everything from that country is efficacious against all poisons. In proof of this, men have been seen, who were bitten by vipers; shavings have been taken from leaves of books brought over from Ireland and put into water and given to the men to drink, and at once the poison was overpowered and the men cured. The island is rich in milk and honey, and vineyards grow in some places. It abounds in fish and fowl, and is famous for hunting the hart and the roe. This is the proper home of the Scots; hence came that third race of Scots mentioned above, as dwelling in Britain along with Britons and Picts. II. The island of Britain was unknown to the Romans, till the emperor Gaius, also called Julius, came with an army and overran it, sixty years before the advent of Christ. III. After this the emperor Claudius, who was fourth from Augustus, again led an army into Britain, and there, without serious resistance or bloodshed, took possession of a great part of the country. He also united to the Roman empire the Orkneys, islands out in the ocean beyond Britain. He returned again to Rome within six months of his first coming. This expedition was made in the fourth year of his reign, which was the forty-sixth from the advent of Christ. The same emperor Claudius dispatched Vespasian to Britain, who became emperor after Nero. He overran the Isle of Wight also, and brought it under the Roman dominion. It is thirty miles long east and west, and twelve miles broad north and south. Nero succeeded to Claudius. He did no service in the state, but among countless other disasters to the Roman empire, he also lost the dominion of Britain. IV. Then came the hundred and fifty-sixth year after ChristÕs advent, and Marcus, also called Antonius, who was fourteenth from the emperor Augustus, succeeded to the Roman empire jointly with his brother Aurelius. In the time of these kings the holy Eleutherus was bishop and pope of the Roman church. To him Lucius, king of Britain, sent a letter, 16
17 praying and entreating, that under his direction he might be converted to christianity. And his pious request was quickly carried into effect. Then the Britons received baptism and the faith of Christ, and maintained it unimpaired and undefiled in quiet and peace till the time of Diocletian the bad emperor. V. Then came the hundred and eighty-ninth year from the incarnation of Christ, and the emperor Severus, who was an African by descent, from the town called Leptis, succeeded to the empire, and held it for seventeen years. He was seventeenth from Augustus. This emperor governed the state vigorously, but yet not without toil. He brought over a force to fight in Britain, and there, after prolonged and severe encounters, recovered a great part of the island; he then surrounded and fortified it with a ditch and rampart from sea to sea, severing it from the other barbarous tribes. He died from illness in the island at York; and Bassianus his son succeeded to the government of Britain. VI. It was then about two hundred and eighty-six years after the incarnation of our Lord, when the emperor Diocletian, who was the thirty-third from Augustus, filled the throne for twenty years. He chose Maximian as his coadjutor, and assigned him the western portion of the world. The latter on assuming the purple came to Britain. Then among the many ill deeds done by them, Diocletian in the East and Maximian in the West afflicted and harassed the churches of God, and illtreated and slew christians. These emperors occupy the tenth place among the persecutors of GodÕs church since the emperor Nero. The persecution of these impious kings was more violent and continuous than any before in the world, for with burning of GodÕs churches and condemnation of the innocent and slaughter of holy martyrs it went on incessantly for ten yearsõ time. Britain also was sorely afflicted, to the great glory of the faith and confession of God. VII. At this time also St. Alban suffered in Britain, of whom the priest Fortunatus, in his ÔLaus Virginum,Õ when mentioning the blessed 17
18 martyrs, who came from all the earth to the Lord, thus spoke: ÔFruitful Britain produces the noble Albanus.Õ Albanus was still a heathen, when the commands of the faithless kings burst forth in fury against christians. It so happened that he entertained a pious man of the priesthood, who was fleeing from the cruel persecutors. And when he saw him day and night busied in continual prayers and vigils, then was Alban suddenly visited by the mercy of GodÕs grace. And he soon began to imitate the example of his belief and piety; and also gradually was taught, by his saving exhortations, to leave the darkness of idol worship and become with sincere heart a christian man. Now when the aforesaid man of God had been entertained many days by Alban, it came to the ears of the sinful governor, that Alban had this servant and confessor of Christ concealed in his house. Then he quickly ordered his attendants to go and demand him. As soon as they came to the martyrõs house, St. Alban put on the monkõs dress, substituting himself for the stranger who was his guest, and gave himself into their hands. And they brought him bound to the governor. Now it happened at the very time, when Alban was led to him, that the judge stood by his idols and offered sacrifice to devils. On seeing St. Alban he at once burst into a passion, because the saint wilfully presumed to give himself over to such risk in place of the stranger, whom he entertained as guest. Then he ordered him to be taken and dragged before the idols by which he stood, and thus spoke: ÔAs you sought to conceal from me the impious foe and scorner of our gods rather than betray him to my servants, know that you shall receive the same punishment as he earned, if you think to withdraw from the worship of our religion.õ Then St. Alban voluntarily declared and confessed to the persecutors of GodÕs faith, that he was a christian man. Nor did he fear the governorõs threats, but girding himself with the armour of spiritual warfare, openly said that he would not obey his commands. Then said the governor and judge to him: ÔTell me of what family and of what race thou art.õ Then St. Alban answered: ÔWhat matters it to you from what stock I am sprung? But if you wish to hear the truth as to my religion, know that I am a christian, and will devote myself to christian services.õ Then said the judge: ÔTell me thy name by 18
19 which thou art called.õ Then said he: ÔI am called Alban by my parents; and I ever worship and pray to the true and living God who created heaven and earth and all creatures.õthen the judge grew angry, and said to him, ÔIf you wish to enjoy with us happiness in this life, delay not to join us in worshipping the great gods.õ Then answered St. Alban: ÔThe sacrifices which were offered by you to devils cannot benefit the devilõs subjects, nor fulfil their lusts and their will; nay more, whoever offers to these images and idols, for that receives his reward, the eternal pains of hell torments.õ When the judge heard those words he was stirred with great wrath and fury. Then he ordered his men at once to scourge and torture this confessor of God, for he reckoned and supposed that by scourging he would weaken his courage and the steadfastness of his heart, though he could not by words. And then the saint was afflicted with grievous scourging and tortures, and he bore and endured with patience and joy all the pains inflicted on him for the LordÕs sake. When the judge perceived this, and saw that he could not conquer him with torture or scourging, nor turn him from the worship of the christian religion, he ordered him to be beheaded. As he was led to death, he came to a very rapid stream which flows near the town wall. And he saw there a great crowd of persons of both sexes, of various ages and ranks. The crowd was doubtless summoned by an inspiration from heaven as an escort for the blessed martyr: and they were so detained by the bridge over the river that it was hardly possible to cross till a little before evening. And as almost all had gone forth, the judge remained in the town without escort. And when St. Alban, in whom there was a burning fervour of mind to attain with all speed to his martyrdom, came to the brook which I mentioned before, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, then the stream at once dried up and gave way before his feet, so that he could pass over dry shod. When among others the executioner, who should slay him, saw this marvel, he was at once inwardly warned by the inspiration of divine grace, so that he threw the sword away, that he held in his hand and fell at his feet; and he earnestly prayed and desired that he might suffer with the martyr whom he was to have slain, or in his place. So by GodÕs grace was this man turned from a persecutor into a 19
20 friend of the truth and of the faith of Christ. Then went up the venerated confessor of God on the hill with the crowd, which was then green with the season, and fair and painted and adorned on all sides with flowers of various plants. And this was meet, that the place should be so comely and so fair, which afterwards was to be glorified and sanctified with the blood of this blessed martyr. On the top of this hill St. Alban prayed that water might be given him for his use by God. Then, at once, a fountain quickly sprang up before his feet, so that all men might perceive that this water was sent for his service, as he already desired of God. And now the fountain and the water, having fulfilled devotion and service to the holy martyr, returned to its natural condition and ceased to give evidence of this service. The place was about half a mile from the wall of the town and from the brook which he crossed before dry shod. Then was this most brave martyr St. Alban beheaded there, and received the victorious crown of eternal life, which God has; promised to all who will love him. But the executioner, who stretched forth his impious hands against the pious neck of this martyr and struck off his head, was not permitted to rejoice over his death; his eyes shot out of his head and fell to the earth with the head of the martyr. Then was also beheaded and martyred the man, who had before been rebuked by the heavenly power and refused to be the slayer of GodÕs confessor. As to him, it is certain, though he was not washed with the water of baptism, that he nevertheless was cleansed by the washing of his blood, and made worthy of the kingdom of heaven. Thereupon the judge, much troubled and affrighted by the strangeness of so many heavenly wonders, at once ordered them to cease from the persecution of christians, and began to honour the sufferings of the holy martyrs, by which he previously supposed he could turn them from their devotion to the christian faith. The blessed Alban suffered on the 22nd of June close to the town which the Romans called Verolamium, and is now named by the English Werlameceaster or WÏclingaceaster. Soon after that a season of serenity for christians came, and there was a church wrought and built there of admirable structure, worthy of his passion and martyrdom. At that spot indeed, up to the present day, are still often proclaimed cures of the sick 20

Bent Tree Boys is a Red Dead Redemption posse.
About the Gang
The gang's history is one written in blood and blurred by whiskey. Formed on the banks of the mighty Black Warrior River in the heartland of Alabama, the Bent Tree Boys were renowned for their lust of fame, riches, and violence. Their only redeemable quality would seem to be their unquenchable thirst for fine liquor and exquisite women, but even that remains suspect at times.
The Bent Tree Boys began their deluge of debauchery when one of the founding members, Josue La Astucia, had a run-in with local authorities after becoming riotously intoxicated with some Puerto Ricans. After throwing every bottle at his disposal at the deputies, Josue was overcome and taken to the town jailhouse to await trial. When news of Josue's arrest reached the other original members, "Loco" Zorro and Chunns of Anarchy, they hatched a plan to bust their comrade out of captivity. While their intentions were commendable and their drive strong, there was one problem--as with most decisions made by the Bent Tree Boys, this one was fueled by nothing more than tequila and a strong desire to blow something up.
As Loco Zorro and Chunns approached the jailhouse, Chunn's agave-driven bravado got the better of him and he began yelling incoherent strings of obscenities at the deputies within the jailhouse. Upon hearing the commotion outside, the deputies gathered their firearms and ran out into the night. No man could have been prepared for what they saw: both Zorro and Chunns had stripped down to nothing more than sombreros and bandoleers, waving Molotov cocktails wildly in each of their hands, and were charging atop their burros straight toward the front door. The deputies became hysterical and scattered at the sight of what they could only assume to be their drunk and naked harbingers of death. In all of the chaos, Loco and Chunn's burros became confused and smashed into the side of the building, knocking Josue's would-be rescuers unconscious in a heap outside.
As fate would have it, the fourth founding member, Capital Gains Janes, had been kicked out of the nearby brothel for attempting to steal the piano and was wandering around the town in a drunken stupor singing his favorite Danish drinking songs. When he saw the two unconscious Bent Tree Boys, he vaguely recalled that he was supposed to be in on the escape attempt. He sauntered over, woke his two fallen comrades, had another drink and then freed their incarcerated colleague. All four rode off into the night, ended up in Mexico, and none of them could remember how they got there the next morning.
So the story of the Bent Tree Boys begins…
Joining the Posse
Due to the dubious proclivities of the gang, it is advised not to approach any member unannounced as their indulgences have rendered them paranoid and prone to unstable "episodes." As a testament to their unpredictable nature and edginess due to their rampant alcoholism, it is widely believed that Loco Zorro once shot his own mother (she got better) when she surprised him on his birthday while he was drinking at his favorite watering hole. To wit, it just so happened that his favorite "watering hole" was named Helen, and Loco isn't very fond of surprises. Josue was disgusted at his friend's behavior and indiscretion but soon forgave him and dropped the issue outright after Josue accidentally shot his cousin in a game of horseshoes.
Reputed Appearances in History
Spanish American War
While there is no concrete evidence of their involvement with the sinking of the USS Maine, some have said that the Bent Tree Boys were seen in Havana, Cuba in mid February of 1898. They had come to Cuba to celebrate Capital Gains Janes' recent acquisition of a sugarcane plantation in a game of high stakes poker; however, after an excessive night of heavy drinking, the Bent Tree Boys robbed the hotel they were staying at in Havana, stole the local magistrate's horses, and rode to the harbor with the law hot on their heels. Mistaking the Maine for their passenger ship home, the gang boarded the ship and proceeded to light their victory cigars in celebration of another escape from the law. Realizing that the ship they were on was not actually a passenger vessel, they discarded their cigars and disembarked. Moments later, the ship exploded and sank to the bottom of the harbor.
Upon re-entry to the United States, it should be noted that Capital Gains Janes sold his claim to the sugarcane plantation for what was at the time the world's largest frying pan. He never regretted his decision.
After the sinking of the USS Maine and the U.S.'s resultant war with Spain, the Bent Tree Boys went to New Orleans in attempt to distance themselves from any implication in the matter. One evening while playing cards with Chinese immigrants in a seedier part of town, Capital Gains Janes won a hand that would eventually change the course of history.
Janes was not known for his marksmanship or his horsemanship due to his volcanic opium smoking habit. Nightly abuse had made him shaky and unbalanced yet despite all of these pitfalls, the man simply could not be stopped, especially in a game of cards. Capital Gains won a rather robust supply of his poison of choice and the four Bent Tree Boys proceeded to chase the dragon into the ungodly hours of early morning. Upon waking the next day, the four of them found themselves in familiar territory—right back in Cuba.
Fearing the worst, the four proceeded to drink themselves into oblivion in hopes of escaping their immediate debacle by blind luck. Fortunately, they happened upon the U.S. Army as they were advancing on San Juan. The Bent Tree Boys, feeling partially responsible for the whole ordeal anyway, picked up arms and travelled with their new comrades in hopes of redeeming what little honor they had left. However, in their barely functioning states, the Bent Tree Boys had actually signed on with the Spanish Army and were on their way to defend the strategically critical city of Santiago from the U.S. assault.
As the battle raged on and the Bent Tree Boys began to sober up, they began to wonder why their attackers were speaking English. After taking heavy suppressing fire, the Bent Tree Boys were forced to fall back to a small trench that ran along the ridge of San Juan Hill. Confused and somewhat crestfallen, and with their supply of booze and narcotics at dangerous, record lows, they prepared for the end in the only way they knew how. However, as fate would dictate, then-Colonel Theodore Roosevelt and the Rough Riders managed to burst through the Spanish Army's lines and march up the hill in which the Bent Tree Boys had entrenched themselves. Much to Roosevelt's dismay he found the four belligerent and dehydrated Americans hunkered together in a small foxhole, sharing a half-shattered bottle of sangria and the dying embers of what used to be a cigar. Roosevelt congratulated the hung-over crew for making it up the hill in their dilapidated state and recommended them all for Bronze Stars, unaware that the constantly-inebriated-four had actually, albeit unknowingly, been plying their "trade" for Spain.
It is rumored that after the taking of Santiago, the Bent Tree Boys and Roosevelt commandeered a U.S. supply ship, filled the ballasts with rum, and took over half the local female population of the city on the world's first "booze cruise". Upon landing state-side, much of the Cubans settled in southern Florida, laying the foundation of the Miami we know today, and one of the incredibly few times that the Bent Tree Boys ever apologized for any of their actions.
Unfortunately for the Bent Tree Boys, they never received their Bronze Stars due to sleeping through the award ceremony a few days later.
An interesting side note to the story is to how "Teddy" Roosevelt began wearing a monocle. After the success of the "booze cruise" (with the exception of Miami), Roosevelt found much in common with his new compatriots, most notably Josue. He even went as far as to offer a place on his cabinet for him after he was elected President. Josue accepted, but only under the consideration that he have the title of "Boubon Czar." Upon hearing of his brother's new accomodations, "Loco", whether it was in a fit of jealously or just a fitting example of his namesake, took Josue's glasses and snapped them in half, giving Josue and Roosevelt a lens and half a frame each so that they may "see each other only half as rosy as they pretend."
Josue is said to have vomited a whiskey-induced cackle at this action/remark, while Roosevelt took it to heart, and wore the eye-piece for the rest of his tenure.

Tradition in Avalon Heights is showcased through the use of artisan techniques such as anigre fiddle tops or mapa burl inlay on select designs.

When you think Glasgow, you don't think 'subway', but Glasgow has the third oldest subway after London and Budapest. It's not huge, but the subway's 10km circuit is great for getting around the West End. Style hunters can easily lose hours rooting around Saratoga Trunk – it's a huge space containing thousands of treasures dating from Victorian times to the 1990s. After a shopping frenzy, head to Asia Style on St George's Road for the most authentic Chinese and Malaysian food in Scotland. Glasgow is the perfect place to learn about Charles Rennie Mackintosh, the city's most famous artist and designer. He was a proponent of Art Nouveau – head to the Glasgow School of Art and take the Mackintosh at the GSA tour for the low-down on the great man's work. If you fancy something different, take a voyage up the Firth of Clyde on the Waverley, the world's last remaining sea-going paddle steamer – it featured in the film Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. Not left-field enough? How about Glaswegians in stetsons line dancing? The Grand Ole Opry in Govan regularly holds gunslinging contests, ceremonial folding of the Confederate flag and music and dancing. Fans of the TV series Nashville will love it.
The Ouseburn Valley area of the city is just a 15-minute walk from the station. It's an area of gentrification and creativity and one that's well worth exploring. The Star and Shadow is a wonderful indie cinema, with regular events and a roster of interesting screenings from Polish and Turkish films to 70s American classics. Northern Print's gallery and studio is great for exhibitions and quirky prints from local artists. For the more adventurous, there's Stepney Bank Stables where you can try a spot of horse riding. Lunch options are varied and there's a huge range of bars and pubs in the area, including the highly regarded The Tyne Bar, The Free Trade Inn, and The Cluny.
Barley Hall was going to be destroyed. It was only in the 80s when the true beauty of this medieval house was revealed beneath the facade of a modernised office block. The Mayor of York used to live here and today you can visit and experience a slice of medieval life. The ever-popular Ghost Walk Experience takes in a number of beautiful York locations, including Monk Bar gate house where the heads and body parts of Catholics were stuck on spikes. The Walmgate Ale House and Bistro is a favourite for a late breakfast/brunch – they serve till 12.30pm – the scrambled eggs and Whitby salmon is a delight. Alternatively, if you're looking for York's best pork pie, The Hairy Fig lays claim to that honour. They're delivered from nearby Bubwith daily and are offered alongside locally baked breads and locally brewed ciders.
If you can resist the multitude of quality fish and chips merchants in the town, you might try the Toast restaurant as an alternative. They offer a contemporary selection and the Lancashire Rarebit is delicious.
The iconic 1930s trams running up and down the promenade are brilliant for hopping between piers. Madame Tussauds Blackpool, near the Central Pier, is probably Blackpool's most famous attraction – well worth a visit to stand back to back with Cheryl Fernandez-Versini. For a surprising escape from the razzle-dazzle of the seafront, stroll a mile inland to Stanley Park. It offers a superb blend of architecture, horticulture and recreation – not what might spring to mind about Blackpool! For something really memorable, head to the Pasaje Del Terror. It's a terrifying and hilarious walk-through horror experience – the decor and acting troupe transport you to a world of scares, shivers and ghouls.
With a name like Rare And Racy, you might not know what to expect, but this fabulous book and music store is a perfect place to lose yourself for hours. There are more books on offer at The Rude Shipyard – it's perfect for lazy breakfasting, and in the evenings there are poetry readings and open mic nights. To find out the roots of the term 'steel city', head to Kelham Island Museum – you'll find a pen knife with 2000 blades and it's right next to The Fat Cat pub, one of the best in the city. If you're feeling the retail urge, try The Moor Market – its 196 stalls have it all, from locally sourced organic produce, to locally designed jewellery, shoes and clothes. In Sheffield Antiques Quarter, you'll find a smashing section of retro furniture and objects, plus you can sort your quiff out at the vintage hair salon.

If you're Sonos, you work with 72andSunny and 1stAveMachine to create a series of mesmerizing 15-second spots that show how "music can transform your home" via stellar animation (along with, of course, some killer tracks). "Pop-Art," above, shows a stark white room suddenly coming to life thanks to adorable googly-eyed blob creatures that emerge from big black dots all over the walls and furniture (the song playing is La Femmes' "Nous Etions Deux"). Other white rooms get equally cool instant makeovers in "Forest," "Gold," "Claymation," "Explosions" and "Melt." A Sonos spokeswoman tells Creativity that the spots were shot in Argentina by a trio of directors over a five-day period. The songs were chosen ahead of time by Jason Bentley, the influential electronic-music DJ and music director at public-radio stalwart KCRW, so the combination of live-action filming and post-production GGI could be synced perfectly with the music.
