Image from the UK's Sun Newspaper (owned by Rupert Murdoch) from 1982. It shows the headline which simply reads "Gotcha"
I still think this is the most atrocious headline ever. The Royal Navy had just sunk the Argentine ship 'Belgrano' with the loss of 328 lives. The Belgrano was in the exclusion zone and retreating when it happened. Everyone at that paper is a callous cunt.

He's talking about the fight between ESPN and YouTube TV because it's the customers (us, the pawns) who get shafted if they can't watch Monday Night Football until a deal is done. Doesn't impact me as I'm in the UK and Rupert Murdoch controls ALL the sports broadcasting

The RM ranks are almost identical to the army except for;
Private = Marine
Staff Sergeant* = Colour Sergeant
*Not every regiment in the Army has Staff Sergeants. Some have weird and wonderful names. I once met a Corporal who wore Staff Sergeants rank slides but was called a Corporal of the Horse

When I joined the RN in 2001 I swore my allegiance to parliament. A friend in the Army told me he swore his to the Queen. The Royal Marine ID cards used to say Royal Navy on them and they are still very much an arm of the naval service. RM don't get called ratings as far as I know. Another quirk

In the Royal Navy commissioned officers hold rank and get saluted whilst non-commisioned folk have a rate and don't get saluted. In the Army and Air force everyone has a rank and only some get saluted. Weird quirk of the Royal Navy. One of many.

A graphic from F1 media that says "30.3 seconds. Largest winning margin of the season". But the font they've used makes it look like it says Bob instead of 30.3

It's possible but my understanding is the teams can nominate 3 peoples salary to be outside the cap. Most teams exclude the Team Principal because their salary is so high. So I'd expect Horners salary (and any exit payments) would fall outside the cap. Although that's just pure assumption on my part

Photo of two green Twisties on a white background. Twisties are a rope or string like material with hooks on either end. You put them around the bottom of your calf and tuck your trousers in to them. Not sure why we use these in the British military rather than just tucking them in but I'm sure there's a logical reason for it
Has he tucked them into his boots or is he using 'twisties' like we use in the British military? It's hard to tell from the picture
