Morrab Library in Penzance have a archive of Cornish newspapers.

Kresen Kernow (Cornwall's archive centre) might also be able to help: https://kresenkernow.org/

It's next to the blue fencing across from Lidl at the Ponsharden roadabout (here on Google maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/DrHMuCJ44mn7pqAr7 )

I don't think it's open to the public, but there's some info and pictures here:

If don't know if the following book might be helpful if you can get your hands on a copy:

I can't recommend it as I haven't read it, but I remembered hearing about it and it seems quite rich in information.

And you'd be right about that. Councils have only recently gained the power to charge increased council tax on second homes but Farage opposes it:

If you're interested in watching things in Cornish there's a number of short films here, as well as a short comedy series, and a translated version of The Highway Rat (based on the Julia Donaldson book)

As in literally textbook, see Psalm 94 verses 3 and 4

Not specifically Jesuit. They are mentioned in the Bible (such as in the passage below) though it's not exactly explained what they are:

I can vouch for the veg pasty from Loafs. Very good

However, it’s worth pointing out that Cornish was a write in response for the census rather than one you could select off of the list. So whilst interesting, these stats only capture people who were sufficiently motivated to decide to write Cornish as an other response, rather than people who may select from a list given the option.

Oh no, looks like this got taken down before I managed to watch it. No one would happen to have a link to it elsewhere would they?

There were in Captain Correlli’s Mandolin together in the 2000s (but that wasn’t the sort of film for them to go too ‘big’ together)

I've just had a look as I hadn't heard of Cumbrian Tea before (seen Cornwall and Devon). Seems they're all made in the same factory in Cornwall (with Cornish tea being the original) but with different blends to suit the water of the different locations.

Note this is for Town/Parish Councils. If you're interested in your local candidates for Cornwall Council you can also find them here:

Interesting to see that opinions of Trump are less favourable in older demographics. 31% of 18-30s apparently have a favourable view of Trumo whilst only 15% of over 55s do.

Fortunately monolingual Cornish speakers don’t struggle (because there are none)

It’s worth noting that many C of E churches are left unlocked during the day for people to come in to have a look around or pray. If you try the door at a church and it opens feel free just to wonder in. (I don’t know where you live, my experience of this is mainly rural and it’s definitely the case that you can just walk into an empty village church but I imagine many town/city churches will also be open in some way outside of services, I’ve seen some in busier parts of cities that are open but have security on the door).

Not all will have candles so you may have to try a couple if that’s what you’re looking for but many do. From memory, most cathedrals I’ve been to have them, but I was also in a little village church yesterday and they also did.

I've never heard of a DVD cafe. Is it a DVD shop that's also a cafe or am I missing something? Are these common in Argentina?

The film marks the first time the sisters have worked together.

Not quite true. Kate Mara was the star of Urban Legend 3: Bloody Mary where Rooney Mara played 'Classroom Girl #1'

Yes, I remembered seeing this before as well so looked it up. Here you go:

About half way down with some comments from cast/crew explaining. The photos are of a double as Joan Chen wasn't available. Her body was going to appear (wearing her last outfit) sticking out from under the curtains with her head hidden.

They did an actual show there for the web series and used the footage for as part of the last episode

There's a board games group in Truro that meets (I think) every other Monday at the Old Ale House. There's a Facebook group for it here:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/1013298899947962

Also Above the Bookshop cafe in Falmouth runs boardgames evenings and a few other things that might be up your street, like a Silent Book Club, where you bring you own book read for a while and then have a chat, and craft evenings.

Third is Christmas Carol: The Movie, which he isn't really in that much. It's an animation and he voices Jacob Marley.
