Although he was hauled down by the ‘keeper he still managed to stroke the ball home. But for the second week running Durant had to leave the field injured, this time suffering eye trouble.

The hardest I have ever laughed in my life was at this article from a 1979 edition of the Peterborough Standard. I laughed so hard I couldn't breathe; I thought I might die.

Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.

Vaccines work—thread:
