‘Jesus saves, but Best scores on the rebound’ was everywhere when I was a child.

Amazing bit of 2019 footage this.

Frei doing a great job of trying to hold Farage to account as he and Nathan Gill go walkabout.

Nice to see Bernard Shaw still involved

France’s president declared in July that the nearly 1,000-year-old, 70-metre-long wool-on-linen artwork, which depicts William the Conqueror’s victory over King Harold II of England at Hastings in 1066, would cross the Channel next year.

One name stood out in 1890s women's cycle racing: Belgian Hélène Dutrieu. Winner of multiple track cycling titles including the world championship, the Course de 12 Jours, & the Grand Prix d’Europe, she was cycling's first female superstar. But that was only the beginning.🧵
