@Toxic_Web @HBrubanter I was raised as a Roman Catholic, but I don't feel I'm responsible or need to apologise for the IRA bombing campaigns. Just a thought.

Oh #maaate that's some Community Note you've got yourself there...

@NoContextCounty The time two outfielders started moving away from an alsation on the boundary, leaving a huge gap in the field. Pleasington Playing Fields, Blackburn, mid-90s.

What is the funniest cricket moment of all time?

@Trampolinecare People have lived on this island for about 4.5k years, so this was a pagan island for at least 3.1k years. We're just going back to our roots.

You thick cunt Graham.

@richardpbacon I'm no fan of Starmer, but I find it hard to accept criticism of him from folk who thought Boris Johnson was the man for the job.

@NoContextCounty My first wicket. Leg-spin, pitched on leg, turned to off, it was all he could do to prod it back. Caught and bowled.

If you could only bowl one delivery from history for the rest of your life what would it be?

@endof_pier @jslovechild Yeah, fromage et pommes. Butter pie is potato and onion, I suppose.

@StuartAMcArthur @jslovechild Cheese and potato☺️

La tarte est fromage. Fromage et pommes de terre.

@Cmdr_Hadfield @Sarnia_Ontario The chances of me every getting to do that are slim, so I'm going to have to go route one and say...Starman. I have a weakness for the classics. 😄👍

What song would you play onboard a spaceship? That's Thomas Reiter on the old Russian guitar & me on the SoloEtte, onboard Mir. Wishing we'd brought a tuner :) The floating maple leaves came from my elementary school, King George VI in @Sarnia_Ontario, pressed in my notebook. That foldable SoloEtte is now in the @avspacemuseum in Ottawa. The Russian guitar had been transferred to Mir from the older Salyut-7 space station, and eventually burned up with Mir on reentry. @csa_asc @esa

@brfcsdotcom That was a weird card. Clear foul by Cashin, nothing given, then Ayling gets up and takes it out on Cashin. Like it's his fault...

@StuartAMcArthur Ayling on a yellow is intriguing

The fear here is that one Boro goal opens the floodgates…

@DontheChrist @BBCNews You don't live in the UK, do you? The job is done by private contractors, paid for by local councils. There was a time when local councils did the job themselves, but it was deemed too expensive.

@BBCNews The Government is so bloody useless it's insane! Sell contracts to the private sector and I bet you this work would be done for a 1/6th of the price and 4x quicker.

£18bn needed to fix England and Wales potholes, road surfacing experts estimate bbc.in/472V5GW

@brfcsdotcom 5+5+3? Erm...that's...not enough...

Think Rovers need to line up 5-5-3 here…😳

That last touch was offside, shurely?

@WUTangKids Well. Looks like NASA have finally accepted the spaceship design I* came up with at the age of 7. *along with every other 7 year old. This feels like the car that Homer designed.

Holy smokes that thing is insane looking

Can't be the New Kobbie Mainoo, that's still Kobbie Mainoo, surely?

Or is he the New Federico Macheda?

Oh, look. They've got a New Adnan Januzaj.

@jslovechild It generates a warmth around the ground that augurs well for mankind.

Even men with steel hearts love to see a dog on the pitch.

He hasn't died. He's just gone to kick the shit out of Satan then come back with a killer tan.

Denmark prepared for a possible U.S. attack: Flew blood supplies to Greenland and planned to blow up runways Key sources in Denmark and Europe are now revealing for the first time what happened during the most critical days, when Donald Trump threatened to take Greenland “the hard way.” When Danish soldiers were rapidly deployed to Greenland in January this year, they brought explosives with them. The plan was to destroy runways in Nuuk and Kangerlussuaq to prevent American military aircraft from landing troops on the island, should the U.S. president ultimately decide to seize Greenland by force. They also transported blood supplies from Danish blood banks so wounded personnel could be treated in case of combat. This is reported by DR, which over the past year has spoken with central sources in the Danish government, top military officers, and high-ranking officials and intelligence sources in Denmark, France, and Germany. All sources have played—and continue to play—key roles in the international crisis triggered by the United States’ demand for control over Greenland. Together, the sources describe an unprecedented year marked by sleepless nights. None of them had concrete intelligence of specific American attack plans against Greenland. Still, many feared in January that the historically important ally, the United States, could attack at any moment. At the same time, Denmark reached out to its European allies, leading to closer cooperation. “With the Greenland crisis, Europe realized once and for all that we must be able to handle our own security,” said a French senior official involved in the intense period. A rapid-response force consisting of Danish, French, German, Norwegian, and Swedish soldiers was first deployed to Nuuk and Kangerlussuaq. Shortly after, a main force followed, including: -Soldiers from the Danish Dragoon Regiment in Holstebro -Elite troops from the Jaeger Corps -French alpine troops trained for cold and mountainous warfare At the same time, Danish fighter jets and a French naval vessel were sent to the North Atlantic. According to several sources, the goal of having multinational troops on the ground was to ensure that any U.S. attempt to take Greenland would require a large-scale hostile action—thereby deterring such an attempt. “We have not been in such a situation since April 1940,” said a Danish defense source, referring to the days before Denmark’s occupation during World War II. Unlike in 1940, when Denmark chose not to resist militarily, the government and defense leadership this time decided—after extensive confidential discussions—to take the opposite approach: If the U.S. attempted an attack, Danish forces would be armed and ready to fight. Danish F-35 fighter jets deployed north were also fully armed. All this despite the understanding that Denmark could not realistically withstand a U.S. military attack. “The cost for the U.S. had to be raised. The U.S. would have to carry out a hostile act to take Greenland,” said a senior Danish defense source. Source: DR
