THE PAST MEETS THE FUTURE. A FINGER MEETS A TRIGGER. THE BEGINNING MEETS THE END. ENGLAND IS FOREVER. ENGLAND MUST FALL.

In the near future, a disaffected civil servant is offered a lucrative job in a mysterious new government ministry gathering 'expats' from across history to test the limits of time-travel.

Her role is to work as a 'bridge': living with, assisting and monitoring the expat known as '1847' - Commander Graham Gore. As far as history is concerned, Commander Gore died on Sir John Franklin's doomed expedition to the Arctic, so he's a little disoriented to find himself alive and surrounded by outlandish concepts such as 'washing machine', 'Spotify' and 'the collapse of the British Empire'. With an appetite for discovery and a seven-a-day cigarette habit, he soon adjusts; and during a long, sultry summer he and his bridge move from awkwardness to genuine friendship, to something more.

But as the true shape of the project that brought them together begins to emerge, Gore and the bridge are forced to confront their past choices and imagined futures. Can love triumph over the structures and histories that have shaped them? And how do you defy history when history is living in your house?

Dog Rope Toy
Color: Regular color
These dog rope toys are a great value, especially since several come in one pack. My dog is a black Labrador and a very aggressive chewer, so she goes through toys quickly. Each rope typically lasts her a few weeks to a month, which is impressive given how strong her bite is. She absolutely loves these and plays with them constantly. The ropes do eventually come apart, and once the braid starts to unravel, I make sure to throw them out to prevent her from swallowing any strands. That said, these toys are very effective at keeping her busy and away from chewing household items like pillows or sofa cushions—which is a much cheaper alternative! Overall, these are durable, affordable, and entertaining toys for strong chewers, as long as you supervise your dog during playtime.

Cane Corso Approved (Eventually Destroyed)
Color: Regular color
I bought the Forfon Tough & Strong Dog Toy for Aggressive Chewers for my Cane Corsos — and if you know Corsos, you know they don’t “chew.” They conduct demolition projects. First impression? Solid. Thick material, strong stitching, felt durable in hand. I actually had hope. Dangerous, I know. For about two weeks, this toy held its own. Tug sessions? Survived. Full jaw clamp tests? Passed. Backyard wrestling matches? Still standing. Then… week three happened. Let’s just say my dogs eventually discovered its weakness and turned it into modern art. But honestly? For aggressive chewers of this size and strength, lasting two weeks is basically a gold medal performance. Pros: ✔ Truly tougher than most toys we’ve tried ✔ Kept my dogs entertained ✔ Withstood serious chewing pressure Cons: • Not indestructible (especially against Cane Corso-level jaws) • Eventually surrendered to persistence If you have medium to strong chewers, this will probably last a long time. If you have giant, determined jaw athletes like mine, expect a respectable lifespan — not immortality. 4 stars because nothing survives forever in this house… but this one fought bravely. 🐶💪

Not bad
Color: Regular color
These toys are strong, but all the threads will get pulled daily onto the floor, messy looking now but still lasting
