10 years ago I was the 8th busiest burger van in Dundee. After a decade of work, listening to the punters, menu experimentation, spatula practice, meditation, positive mental attitude (PMA), fearless self-reflection, daring to dream, and two deaths, I am up to 6th. Never give up

Navalny's wife Yulia at the Munich security conference: "If it's true, I want Putin, his entourage, Putin's friends and his government to know they will be held responsible for what they have done to our country, my family, and my husband. And that day will come very soon."

53 years ago today, on the 15th of February 1971, was Decimal Day, also known as D-Day, when the UK switched from 'old money' to a decimal system of 100p in the £. Previously, 240d made a £. It was first proposed to Parliament in 1824 after the French franc went decimal.

Very sad news about a former colleague. Trevor was always a joy to work with and with a wicked sense of humour. Good to see tribute paid to him at the City Ground yesterday. RIP #amp-readmore-target" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">nottinghampost.com/news/former-no…

We were saddened to hear of the recent passing of Trevor Bartlett. Trevor was the photographer for the Nottingham Post for 48 years, covering our matches up and down the country and across Europe. Trevor took the history defining photo of Trevor Francis’ header against Malmö in Munich. The thoughts of everyone at the Club are with Trevor’s family at this difficult time ❤️ 📸: John Sumpter

Now that everyone's talking about how Kenneth Chesebro, architect of Trump's fake electors plot, was at the Capitol with Alex Jones on Jan 6, let's think about how bad that is. Because Jones was used for a strategic purpose in the Capitol attack. And Chesebro was watching. 1/

In the early 1900s, the shortage of rubber and the challenges associated with filling tires with air during the First World War led to a significant need for alternative solutions. In response to this problem, German engineers devised a groundbreaking invention in 1916—a steel spring tire. The tire was specifically designed by the Germans to address the scarcity of rubber and the unreliable nature of traditional rubber tires. Their goal was to create a tire that not only offered a viable alternative to rubber but also provided enhanced reliability, particularly for military vehicles that required robust and durable tire solutions. The innovative steel spring tire was first implemented on a Protos vehicle, showcasing its potential for military applications. The tire design incorporated a series of steel springs arranged in a circular pattern, which replaced the conventional rubber construction. These springs were strategically placed to provide both support and flexibility, allowing the tire to withstand the rigorous demands of military operations while offering improved traction on various terrains. One of the key advantages of the steel spring tire was its resistance to punctures and damage, which significantly reduced the need for constant maintenance and tire replacements. This attribute made it particularly attractive for military vehicles operating in challenging environments, such as battlefields or rough terrain. Furthermore, the German engineers believed that the steel spring tire's performance would not be affected by adverse weather conditions, a common issue with traditional rubber tires. The tire's unique design was expected to maintain its reliability and functionality even in extreme temperatures, making it well-suited for military campaigns in diverse climates. While the steel spring tire initially gained attention due to its potential military applications, there was also significant interest in its civilian use. The tire's durability and puncture resistance made it an attractive option for commercial vehicles, especially those that frequently traveled on rough roads or encountered sharp debris. Although the steel spring tire demonstrated promise, the end of the First World War and subsequent developments in rubber technology led to a shift back towards traditional rubber tires. Rubber became more accessible again, and advancements in tire manufacturing techniques and materials improved the reliability and performance of rubber tires. As a result, the steel spring tire gradually faded from use, becoming a fascinating but short-lived chapter in the evolution of tire technology. Nonetheless, the German engineers' ingenuity in developing the steel spring tire during a time of resource scarcity and technological challenges remains a testament to human innovation and adaptability in the face of adversity.

Stuck on the wrong side of Comcast pay walls for Sky Atlantic or Now, both formerly part of the Digger’s stable, I am doing my best to dodge spoilers for the Murdoch-inspired Succession final series. Can’t help thinking Logan Roy would enjoy screwing over ‘the old country’.
