@SkySportsNews If Southampton lose their appeal then the playoff final should be binned and Hull automatically promoted..

BREAKING: Saturday's Sky Bet Championship play-off final between Hull City and Middlesbrough will kick-off at 15:30. Should the outcome of the ongoing appeal process result in the final being contested by Hull City and Southampton, the kick-off time will remain at 16:30 🚨

Some more footage from Sutton v Leeds in 1970, Pathe News this time. I’m guessing it must have been all ticket…anyone know how many Leeds were allocated? #LUFC #70sLeeds #MOT

She asked for it! 🤣😂

Seems a very odd decision, you watch McBurnie score the goal at Wembley that takes Hull up.. Like you I've no horse in this race.

A tiny bee just did what chemotherapy couldn't. Scientists in Australia discovered that honeybee venom can wipe out 100% of aggressive breast cancer cells in under 60 minutes. And the healthy cells around them? Barely touched. The breakthrough came from Dr. Ciara Duffy and her team at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research, working alongside the University of Western Australia. They tested venom drawn from 312 honeybees and bumblebees across Australia, Ireland, and England. The target: triple-negative breast cancer and HER2-enriched breast cancer. Two of the deadliest, most stubborn forms of the disease. The weapon: melittin. The same tiny peptide that makes a bee sting burn. At one specific dose, melittin tore through cancer cell membranes completely within an hour. Within just 20 minutes, it shut down the chemical signals cancer cells need to grow and multiply. Bumblebee venom, which lacks melittin, did nothing. Zero effect, even at high concentrations. Scientists then recreated melittin synthetically in the lab and got almost identical results, meaning no bees need to be harmed to develop the therapy. Published in the peer-reviewed journal npj Precision Oncology, the findings are still early-stage. Human trials haven't happened yet. But one thing is clear. Nature has been hiding answers in plain sight all along, sometimes inside the smallest creatures on Earth.

@Hudsonweather will York races be a washout tomorrow, cheers

I'm sorry, but this is simply lovely, and I've no time for those who'll inevitably sneer at it as "Paddingtonism", or whatever. Like it or not, this is the version of Britain most British people identify with. Good on his M the K for participating, too.

Ever wondered how they put Cobles to bed at Flamborough.

If only we could devise some kind of system whereby householders and businesses could pay a small amount each month to a local authority, for them to organise guys to clean the drains of crap. Wouldn’t that be great?

Since @KwikFitCS are refusing to acknowledge my emails, complaint form and will not call me, I thought I’d share this with everyone here. Last July, the cowboy mechanics at Kwik Fit told me that whilst they had my car for 6 hours, they had replaced the CV boots on my car. Today, I took it to my garage for its MOT and the tester revealed that Kwik Fit had not touched them. Perished rubber exceeding a year was obvious. So Kwik Fit took £300 from me and did not complete any of the work listed on my receipt. I’m hoping that this tweet will maybe jumpstart them into having a conversation with me and giving me my money back. Given that the cost of living is extortionate generally, I think everyone could do without Kwik Fit’s daylight thievery.

In 1837, the Shah of Persia gave Queen Victoria a small herd of Kashmir goats as a coronation gift. She kept them at Windsor for a while, then, for reasons lost to history, sent some of them to live on the Great Orme, a limestone headland sticking out of the North Wales coast like a thumb pointing at Ireland. That was 189 years ago. The goats are still there. Nobody fed them. Nobody bred them. Nobody asked them to stay. They simply did, because the Great Orme is windswept, salt-blasted, vertical in places, and entirely covered in the kind of scrub that goats consider an invitation rather than an obstacle. There are now around two hundred of them. Pure white, slightly mad-looking, technically still the property of the Crown, which has shown no particular interest in collecting. During the 2020 lockdown, when the streets of Llandudno emptied, the goats came down off the headland and took the town. They wandered the high street. They ate the hedges of the Premier Inn. They blocked traffic on Mostyn Street and looked at drivers with the calm assurance of animals whose ancestors used to graze with the legions of Cyrus the Great. A photograph of one of them standing outside a closed pharmacy went around the world. The goats did not pose for it. The goats were checking whether the pharmacy had hedges. It did not. The goats moved on. The Royal Welsh Fusiliers' regimental mascot is still drawn from this herd. The Crown Prince of Britain is, technically, the goats' landlord. The goats have not been informed. The goats are on the Great Orme. They will outlast the Premier Inn. They will outlast most of us. They are not asking for anything. They never were.

Watch out, lads! 😬

This is gripping. An RAF Lancaster takes off in 1943 on a bombing raid to Germany. In temperatures of -20 deg C they encounter searchights, flak, anti aircraft fire, Luftwaffe night fighters as they drop their bombs. They score a direct hit. The wireless operator says, "hello skipper, oil is leaking out of the front turret, nothing to worry about." At the end they the are attacked by a German night fighter. It is shot down & the excitable crew have to told to calm down by the skipper. "Don't shout all at once". A tour of duty was 30 missions, their chances of remaining alive was 50/50. According to @grok only 24% would not be killed, injured or taken as a prisoner of war. The Crew is: Skipper: Ken Letford Navigator: Con Connolly Engineer: Charlie Stewart Bombardier: Bill Bray Rear Gunner: Henry Devenish Mid Gunner: Jock Fieldhouse The recording is by BBC journos Wynford Vaughn & Reginald Pidsley.

One of the nastiest cases of “f*ck around and find out” just went down in Korean MMA Straight out of a movie 😳

@Footballtweet Can’t believe I missed that one

@Footballtweet Just because people didn't use the terms, XG, inverted full backs, false9, half blocks/spaces, double pivoted midfielder, recycling the ball, WAGS etc doesn't mean football in the 70's was crap...

Football was crap in the 70s compared to today's game. But this, from Leeds United's Peter Lorimer, is the goal of the decade.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin has outscored: - Hugo Ekitike - Benjamin Sesko - Ollie Watkins - Mo Salah - Bryan Mbeumo - Cole Palmer - Bukayo Saka - Anthony Gordon - Jarrod Bowen - Raul Jimenez In the Premier League this season, and Leeds signed him on a free transfer 😳
