How much do we know about Stonehenge? Less than we think. And what has Stonehenge got to do with the Ice Age? More than we might think. This blog is mostly devoted to the problems of where the Stonehenge bluestones came from, and how they got from their source areas to the monument. Now and then I will muse on related Stonehenge topics which have an Ice Age dimension...
THE BOOK Some of the ideas discussed in this blog are published in my new book called "The Stonehenge Bluestones" -- available by post and through good bookshops everywhere. Bad bookshops might not have it.... To order, click HERE

All you need is communism and a lot of people........
Thanks to Simon for sending this in...... I dare say that if you can carry a Chinese dragon boat like this, you can also carry a bluestone.........!! Was Stonehenge built by the Chinese?

We may well need a couple of pro - England FC geomorphologists to assist those of us who are rooting for England FC, rather than Gareth Bales' Dragon Welsh, in France.
England play ICELAND on Monday evening. The geomorphologists/ glaciologists may be able to find some structural weaknesses.
Rooting for Iceland, of course. England have had enough success for the time being, having seen off Oz (deservedly) in those 3 rugby tests down under. A part of my heart is in Iceland, having spent so much time there.....
You must have a heart of ice, after all the self - inflicted wounds we English have suffered since Dave called the Referendum, and Tweedledee & Tweedledum, aka the Milliband Bros, both stood for the Leadership of Dave's main Opposition all those months ago.......
Perhaps some geyser, such as Vardy or Kane, will sort out the Ice Men. Then again....
Too much topless and headless lazing on the beach at Nice (and that was just the supporters) led to a pretty nasty performance from the Englanders. Bring back Jimmy Greaves, at least he KNOWS it's a funny old game (though not many of us are laughing). Can Iceland crush the suave French at the weekend?............. It's a funny old game!
Perhaps we need to bring back the Association Football Home International Tournament. Might teach England a thing or two, not least, "How To Be Competitive in a Tournament". They will need =, of course, an ICY determination, not one that is fragile and MELTING.

Unfortunately England were all too Human transport, collapsed like a house of cards in the face of the iceman's relentless effort.

Fact: there are 562,000 Welsh speakers. That's more than the population of Iceland.
Good luck Wales tonight, v Belgium, by the way!
Well, that wasn't too bad, was it? Da iawn, bois bach!!
Now it's that over - rated Ronaldo v Gareth Bale's all - for - one TEAM (England please note, all - for - one Team, a la 1966).
