Animal with 'amazing flatulence' found in medieval book

Satirist Ian Hislop has included the ancient Bonnacon among Britain's oldest jokes for his BBC podcast.

An exceptional secular fresco cycle of the Months (only eleven from the twelve) survived in the Castello del Buonconsiglio in Trent. The eleven panels fill the walls of a room illuminated by two windows, one on the east end and one on the west.

The height of the frescoes is 3 m, the draped fabric painted below replaces the original wainscoting, which was painted with a sequence of niches.

‘Then a woman with a bullwhip walked into the lift’: my 17 years painting the demimonde of New York’s Chelsea hotel

Hull’s David Remfry was ‘artist in residence’ at the legendary hotel, portraying dominatrixes, drag acts and rock stars – including an annoy

"Raised in Hull and now based in London, Remfry arrived at the Chelsea check-in desk that summer with “17 pieces of luggage, no reservation and no money. Stanley Bard, the owner, asked me, ‘David, how much do your paintings sell for? And how many do you paint a year?’ I think he was figuring out how much he could charge me.”"
