Construction worker digging a big hole whilst somebody I fondly imagine to be Princess Anne looks on...

Not saying it's looking bad for him, but in a Leicester car park right now...

Ha! Went through those doors more than a few times late 70's/early 80's. Back then the interior seemed mostly original - lots of dark wood and Edwardian tile. Glad to see it's survived.

Short of the club's SM guys actually making the effort to post on here, this is the best outcome X adverse fans can hope for at the moment, so thanks for setting it up 👍

Well her sense of political timing remains as exquisite as ever.

ICE detains five-year-old Minnesota boy arriving home, say school officials Superintendent says Liam Ramos and his father were taken into custody while in their driveway and sent to Texas

‘Terrible things are happening outside… Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared. Women return… to find their families gone.’

The Air Staff was adamant that to throw further squadrons into the Battle of France was to risk losing the Battle of Britain.

A 'thrilling' conclusion which is entirely circumstantial and as watertight as a soaked sponge. Quite annoyed with myself that I wasted three hours of my life on this guff.

"And we now have María on the line who would like to swap a Nobel Peace Prize for the presidency of Venezuela..."

I'm surprised Farage is letting the likes of Zahawi into his grubby fiefdom. It degrades his party's brand, and surely it's only a matter of time before one of the former Tory 'big hitters' makes a play for his title. Then we really will have Conservatives 2.0

Ah, the Arches at Newcastle Uni with the Student Union off to the right. A well troden path for me in my long distant student days...

The amazing detail in this story is this lad's neighbour frantically whistling to try and draw the ship's attention to the dangerous local hazard known as [checks notes] Norway.

If it hadn't noticed houses are generally stand on vessels a bit of whistling probably ain't going to do it, fella.

Congratulations. I read your book earlier this year - a genuinely astonishing story and a wonderful read

From Otis Redding to Booker T, Steve Cropper was a strong yet subtle force that shaped so many soul classics The guitarist for Booker T & the MGs defined the sound of original R&B, co-creating soul anthems and proving himself one of the most influential musicians of the 60s

One of my favourite threads from the other place. Classic. Anyone who has owned a spaniel or variant will relate!

Speaks well, doesn't he?

A hotdog and pretzel stand with large hanging bottles of mustard, ketchup, and mayonnaise. The bottoms contain squeeze tubes to dispense the condiments.

I have been traveling and today I present to you...the thing I saw in the Frankfurt airport.

Is it efficient? Undeniably. Does it probably work better than the normal way? Oh certainly. Produce less of a mess? Probably?

But the existence of Condiment Udders gives me a deep, aghast disquiet.

Not at all sure about all of this this. That back room looks very lightweight to me. New managers bringing in their mates rarely works out. How long before Brett makes an appearance?

Should have gone at least half a dozen games ago. Dreadful appointment from the off.

This is exiting news. Only a few years to go before I can compare first hand experiences with my Mum who, as a South London girl, genuinely did live through the Blitz (but who can remember bugger all about it)

I was briefly a member of the Great War Forum once. My God, there were some utter knobs on there. Very knowledgeable knobs, but still knobs.

It's seven years since we posted on Twitter about how kids kept coming into the library asking if we had any books about FORTNITE. We didn't back then, and we'd never heard of it so we tried asking what it was.

No doubt you're right, but on the flip side the approach roads to Burnley town centre are festooned with lamp post tied flags. Some Zebra crossings painted, too. Driving into town is like heading towards some twisted Nuremberg rally.

How to dress for Blackpool.

It's a long while back now but I do remember it wasn't shaping up too well...

I must have read to my lads virtually every night for a total of 10 years, possibly more. Such a joy. It was a bit of a hammer blow when the youngest said he'd rather read by himself from now on....so I never got to finish Morpurgo's 'Private Peaceful'

On this day in 1945 a brave Danish Dutch diplomat drove his car into a Japanese concentration camp and saved my grandmothers and thus my life.
A thread.

It is August 15th 1945, my grandmother and her daughter (2 years old) are prisoners in Japanese concentration camp Lampersari.
