Which one ? The big mound or the barrow? Basically they are both void of anything. The barrow originally had human bones in it but has been cleared out . The big mound has had several excavations don't on it but have found nothing . They discovered that it had been constructed in a series of steps, a bit like the stepped pyramids.

I climbed these, you can see St. Louis from there.

I've decided to listen to some Dire Straits on vinyl as I slowly work through all the records I haven't listened to in yonks

I often think it's sad that the only Dire Straits most people know is Walk of Life and Money for nothing as they did so much more in their earlier albums.

A most relaxing day. The racing at Snetterton wasn't too bad despite a few small grids, it wasn't too cold in the breeze either and the radio commentary from Monaco was quite entertaining. A quick shower & shave once home was followed by bacon rolls and putting the recycling bin out ready for the morning.

I'd set my BT box up so I could watch the Indy 500 on a timed delay recording. I now have the problem that it's been red flagged for the 2nd time with 7 laps to go and my recording has only 10 minutes left so I've missed the end of the race

TBH, you didn't miss much. There was only one lap of racing after that.

They've just gone green with 4 laps to go...

And straight to yellow with 1 minute left on the recording

@tyred - apparently on Telegraph Road Mark Knopfler keeps changing the middle instrumental section as it was only ever a guide. Live versions therefore are different depending on how he played that day.
