Sssshhh Leddy

Apparently, most WC kick-offs will be 7pm, 8pm, 10pm & 1am all BST. Going to test the resolve of some of our couch potatoes that

In a year Reform UK has lost 68 councillors.

Is it the delta wings that make Vulcans seem much more exciting than Victors or Valiants? Are there any of the latter two still in existence?

Trigg - also, Guehi becomes only the 4th player to win the FA Cup with different teams in consecutive seasons, with the others being Olivier Giroud (Arsenal and Chelsea), Brian Talbot (Ipswich and Arsenal), plus of course Arthur Kinniard, the first player to achieve the feat after winning with Wanderers in 1878 and Old Etonians the following year….

The best Chelsea defeat in a domestic cup final must surely be this one in which the keeper for the entire match was subbed off because the manager decided that Kepa would definitely save loads of penalties and win them the trophy - enjoy, and try not to spit your tea out… ☕️😂 [Link]

Ah it appears the answer might be just the one because of the “cup tied” rule change.

Wonder if it’s easy to find a list of players who, like Guehi, won the FA Cup the same season they’d been knocked out of it.

Woke up this morning to a house full of flying ants.

Spartan, probably it's belatedly sunk in that their leader has serious mental problems

Well, that's nice of the Green party, 4 newly elected members in London have stepped down already, causing four by-elections, which is estimated to cost tax payers another £80,000.

Money well spent,Israel have won it 4 times ...

I see the UK came last and Israel almost won Eurovision due to the viewers vote which is now open to people in countries not even in the contest. According to the New York Times the Israeli government has spent $1m on a campaign including ads on billboards in Times Square. Netanyahu urged supporters to vote 20 times in a post on Instagram.

I went up the Vulcan taxi run at Southend airport tonight. It did two runs. First run it opened up the engines half way , then second time did the complete runway and lifted the nose twice. Incredible aircraft. Very well supported event. Hearing just working now.

Postman, I spent quite a lot of time at Scampton so I am very familiar with the Vulcan. My uncle was was on standby for when they had problems with the weapons they carried so his accommodation was pretty much at the end of the runway so we were pretty close to the bombers both day and night. Amazing aircraft to see close up

Ah just read about the Maldivian guy who has died in a body-recovery attempt. Not worth the risk imo. Nothing to see in the Maldives below 30m unless it’s a wreck. I understand the addiction that cave diving can bring but self discipline is critical in not allowing yourself to do what you know you shouldn’t do even though you know that you *can* do it.

The 24hr Nürburgring has been interesting, so far, if you're into that stuff. A good alternative to most of what else is being served up today and tomorrow at any rate.

BBC has the news about the death of a local guy

Given what I wrote earlier about Salford having their colours and badge changed, it looks like from next season they will be reverting back to the orange and black they used to wear before the Class of 92 took over [Link] and they are changing their badge again [Link]

Haven’t seen anything about retrieval of bodies but the incident is interesting as I always understood it to be Maldivian law that 30m was the maximum permitted depth and the reports state that they were exploring caves around 40m-50m. That in itself doesn’t make it particularly dangerous if you’re used to that sort of depth and I don’t know what cause if any has been attributed to the deaths. Proper cave diving is incredibly safe because of the rules involved in doing it. So until any more detail comes out I can’t really pass comment.

TF, iirc you've been to the Maldives for diving, so what do you make of what happened to these Italians and the local guy who tried to retrieve their bodies

Jurgen Kloop must be skint ... advertising Trivago and Budweiser?

I watched the game on my phone with sound off and enjoyed it more than many previous finals

After today's cup final, Chelscum have become the first club to lose 7 domestic finals on the trot. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
