@ATRightMovies I guess I shoulda known by the way you parked your car sideways that it wouldn’t last.

@airmainengineer Nope. Just makes me sad. 😭

Probably this is the best aircraft to cheer you up if you are having a bad day

@DoctorLemma “Chuck Spadini”. Glad he chucked that one!

At 20 years old, Keanu Reeves drove his first car from Toronto to Los Angeles to start an acting career. He got out of the car and the first thing his manager said was: “We want to change your name.” They told him Keanu was “too ethnic.” He drove up and down the beach in Santa Monica trying to process it. He considered Chuck Spadina, after the street he grew up on. He tried Templeton. Eventually he took his first and middle initials, Keanu Charles, and started going by K.C. Reeves, which everyone read as Casey. He was credited under that name in a 1986 episode of Disney’s anthology series. It lasted about six months. At auditions, casting directors would call out “Casey Reeves” and he wouldn’t even look up. He just didn’t recognise it as himself. He went back to his agents and told them he couldn’t do it. The whole time, a line from one of the first plays he ever performed kept running through his head. He’d played John Proctor in The Crucible, and the line was: “Because it is my name. Because I can have no other.” He booked Bill and Ted, Point Break, Speed, The Matrix, and John Wick as Keanu.

@ATRightMovies Sorry, Soap!

New Bristol City manager Roy Hodgson, 78, was alive at the same time as the player who scored the first ever FA Cup goal in November 1871 Hodgson: born 1947 Jarvis Kenrick: died 1949 (age 96)

@Lostmyinhaler2 Always in the history. “How did you hurt your arm?” as important as examination.

I was told it was anxiety, it was in fact a broken arm. MY FUCKIN ARM WAS BROKEN I was repeatedly told it wasn’t, just bruised and I was just being anxious. I had to demand an xray. I then demanded an apology.

@scottiebateman I remember this being reported. I was 11. So sad.

Two aircraft. One runway. 583 lives lost. Today marks the anniversary of the Tenerife air disaster, still the deadliest accident in aviation history. It wasn’t a single mistake. It was a chain. Fog. Pressure. Assumptions. Two highly professional crews, both believing they understood the situation… and a breakdown in communication that left no margin for recovery. That’s the uncomfortable truth about aviation, and about life more broadly. Catastrophe rarely arrives in one moment. It builds, quietly, step by step, until there’s no space left to correct it. While researching JUMBO, I had the privilege of speaking with Dorothy, a flight attendant on the Pan Am aircraft that day. She survived. And what stayed with me wasn’t just the sequence of events, it was the human side. The confusion. The disbelief. The seconds where everything changed. And the resilience required to carry that experience forward. We often talk about Tenerife in terms of procedures and lessons learned, CRM, communication, decision-making under pressure. And those lessons reshaped aviation forever. But behind all of that are people. Lives interrupted. Stories that didn’t get to finish. It remains one of the most important reminders in aviation: Clarity matters. Humility matters. And good judgement is everything. If you want to understand not just the history of the 747, but the human stories that shaped modern aviation, my book JUMBO explores moments like this in depth. Available now at all good bookstores. #Tenerife #AviationHistory #JumboBook #Boeing747 #CRM #HumanFactors #AvGeek #DecisionMaking #NeverForget

This is wild. CCT is the certificate doctors need to achieve in order to work as consultants. It takes years of further training after finishing medical school. Non doctors don't have the foundations and won't go through all the aspects of postgrad training to be equivalent.

@MadelaineLucyH Hideous!

Oh NO

@petitecyclist @drkeithsiau If he was in an MRI scanner, maybe not!

@drkeithsiau Didn't he notice????

Scanning the wrong leg can get you into Real trouble 😜

@DrHelenFry I watched World At War faithfully every week with my grandparents when it came out on the telly in 1973. I was 7.

What first sparked your interest in WW2 history?

@Dussyme It’s twa

If the answer ain't 12, then what is the correct one? 0.00001% can answer this🤔

@lunar_light3 Also. It’s 240V. That’s not just going to give you a supra ventricular tachycardia!

@lunar_light3 Because the stove uses such a high amount of power, they all have an isolator switch. They *cannot* be plugged into a socket. They max out at 13 amps.

Okay, I think I found my problem. Every outlet has an on/off switch and they're all off. Why? Why is this a thing? Also, where's the stove one? *more confused American noises*

@Kaliza_queen The Kelpies!

That is amazing 😍😍🤩🤩

British nicknames are an unregulated industry. a 5'6 tradesman called Anthony is professionally known as Shetland Tony. a man who lost an eye is called Keth. a quiet man wore a yellow jumper once and became Mumblebee. what's the best nickname you've ever heard

@Steven_Swinford @msm_monitor Incredible how errors get magnified.

BREAKING Morgan McSweeney did not tell the Metropolitan Police who he was or where he worked when he called 999 after his phone was stolen The Metropolitan Police has released a transcript of the call and said that it was not aware 'of the victims employment or the particular security risks associated with his device or material on it The call took place on 20 October, 2025 at 22.30. McSweeney stated that it was a government phone Here is the verbatim transcript of the call in full: Call handler: Police, what's your emergency? Caller: Oh, hello, someone just robbed my phone. Call handler: Did they actually take it from you just now? Caller: Yeah Call handler: How did they get away? Caller: So he's on a bike. He's come onto the pavement to grab my phone and cycled off on a bike. Call handler: And where did this happen? Caller: It happened in Belgrave Street* in Westminster. *We now know that the incident took place in Belgrave Road, Westminster. The call handler inputs Belgrave Street and it provides a matching road name in Tower Hamlets, which is what is recorded in error. There are further references to locations near to Belgrave Street in Tower Hamlets later in the call, which compounds the issue. Call handler: And whose phone are you using now? Caller: I've got two phones. I'm using my personal one. That was my work one. Call handler: Can I take the phone number for this phone you're calling on? Caller: Yeah, 07XXXXXXXXX. Call handler: Thank you. And you said Belgrave Street, yeah? Caller: Yeah, just kind of going back to the location. Call handler: Don't put yourself at any risk. It's not worth it over a phone. I appreciate it’s frustrating. Call handler: And which way did they go towards, this suspect on a bike? Caller: He went. He travels north. I saw him for a few blocks. Call handler: So where were you when you last saw him? Have you got any idea? Caller: Yeah, so. Call handler: Did you get up to Stepney? Caller: Let me tell you where I got to. I'm just going back to where I can. Caller: So he turned right. Sorry, he turned left. There's a park on top of the road and he turned left there. Call handler: Stepney Green Park, ok. Caller: Yeah. He turned left there. Call handler: Can you remember anything about his appearance? Caller: Yeah, he was young. He was a black guy. He was on a bike. Call handler: About how young? Call handler: Just a guess. Caller: Teens. Late teens. Call handler: Was he skinny, tall, any idea? Caller: Yeah. He was slim. He was about average height. Call handler: Was it an e bike or pedal bike? Caller: Pedal bike. Call handler: Have you got a tracker on the phone at all? Caller: I do. It’s a government phone. Call handler: And it's your work phone. What kind of phone is it? Caller: It’s an iPhone. Call handler: Do you know what model? Caller: I don't. [PAUSE] Call handler: Right, just bear with me a second. Call handler: We would normally deploy to see you but at the moment, we are having extreme demand on police officers. So, I don't know if you would prefer to make your way home and make a crime report over the phone or online tomorrow. I mean, I can complete one with you now. I can pass this down, you can wait, but I honestly do not know how long you'll be waiting, Caller: If I could complete it now that would be good. Call handler: Ok. Call handler: What's your name, please? Caller: My name is XXXXXXXXXX. Call handler: XXXXXXXXXX? (repeats name back) Caller: Yeah. Call handler: And your date of birth, please? Caller: It's XXXXXX Call handler: Is XXXXXXXXX (surname) all one word? Caller: Yeah, (spells surname). Call handler: And what's your home address? Caller: (Provides non-London address) Call handler: So you live in XXXXXX? Caller: Yeah. Call handler: Are you staying anywhere while you're in London? Caller: Yeah. Call handler: Sorry, it just takes a little bit longer to deal with an address outside of the Met. I do apologise. Caller: It’s ok. Call handler: And may I take an email for you please (name)? Caller: Yeah, it's XXXXXXXXXXX@XXXXXXXXXX.com (personal email address) Call handler: You'll get a copy of the preliminary crime report through to that email. Call handler: How would you like to be contacted by an investigating officer? By email or phone? Caller: Phone, please. Or either, I’m not fussed. Call handler: Have you got any finance apps on the phone? Caller: No. Call handler: You'll need to change any passwords for any logins you do have on the phone. Caller: Yeah, okay. Call handler: You're not vulnerable in any way. Are you? Caller: No I’m not. Call handler: Do you believe there was any CCTV near where the incident happened? Caller: Might be. [Inaudible] away from location. Call handler: Don't worry. Don't return. No, I'll just put at the moment unknown. And obviously, if we find out more, we find out more. Call handler: Are you willing to make a statement to support the investigation? Caller: Definitely. Call handler: So what time did he actually snatch the phone? Caller: About two minutes before I rung you and I chased, and then I rang my office to get the phone tracked and then I rang you. Call handler: Okay, cool. It would have been about 25 past that you were robbed. Caller: A little before, about 23 minutes past, I think. Call handler: 23? Little bit before? Okay. [PAUSE] Call handler: Just bear with me, I’m just trying to get this system to accept the address. Sorry about this. I won't keep you much longer. Call handler: If you do get any tracking updates, what you do is you give us call back if the phone is stationary. Caller: Yeah. Call handler: And we can review attending then. We can't guarantee attending a moving phone at all, but if it's been stationary for a few… Call handler: It’s not accepting your address. Caller: I can give you my London address? Call handler: It’s alright. I've nearly got this to work. Caller: Okay Call handler: How long you staying in London? Caller: So I come to London every week. I work in London. Call handler: Oh, I see. Okay, that makes sense. Caller: So I'll be here till Thursday. Call handler: Okay. [PAUSE] Call handler: As I was trying to say, I've got this sorted now, so I'll be texting you a crime reference number in the next few moments. Along with the crime reference number will be a CHS reference number. If you need to give us a call back, you can call back giving that reference number from any device, and then we'll be able to link it straight away to your crime report and review deploying. We will need to know a bit more details about the phone itself, so when you're contacted by the investigating officer, or if you do get tracking details, you can call us back with the IMEI number, and the type of phone that it is that would be super helpful. Caller: All right, thank you. Call handler: All right, I’m just about to text you through the crime reference number now. Caller: Thank you so much. You’ve been really helpful. Call handler: No worries. All right, (name). You take care now, okay? Bye. Caller: Bye bye.
