I firmly believe there are people who would still be alive today if not for the government delaying the blanket 30km/hr speed limits for urban areas. More will die while we wait for local councils to act #spΓ©irgorm

Wolves are a team of firsts this season.

They were also the first team on the bottom of the table to come back from 2 goals down versus the league leaders.

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2007, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2017, the US president was born in 1946.

And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

Given neverending destruction, a future attraction will be busloads of visitors being taken to the handful of remaining tree lined country roads.

If you're a victim of repeated flooding, you need to start looking at land use upstream.

One of these sponges up vast amounts of water, releasing it slowly, the other does not. One reduces flooding, the other *increases* it.

Without addressing this core driver, it'll just keep on getting worse.
