London Tower Bridge under construction, 1889.

@markgulliver12 @DowntonFC @Lavvyfc Top work mate 💪

Last home game for @DowntonFC this season and it’s a big one as we host neighbours @Lavvyfc ⚽️🍺👀

Now spinning 💪

Mandelson? FFS 🤦🏻‍♂️

@CalumMillerLD Withington Road was closed for 2 days earlier this week and I assumed they were sorting out the potholes. But no, just BT digging it up even worse. Any idea when it might get properly resurfaced old chap?

This has clearly breached international law and worsened the humanitarian crisis in Lebanon. Accountability must start with the UK sanctioning Benjamin Netanyahu. The UK must also stop the export of all arms to Israel.

The news of a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon offers some hope for all those on both sides of the border who have been forced to flee their homes because of the fighting. We must now use this moment to deliver a lasting end to the conflict. #post" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">bbc.co.uk/news/live/c20d…

Four humans are about to fall into a 10,000°C wall of plasma at 25,000 mph with a heat shield NASA knows is flawed. Tomorrow evening. Off the coast of San Diego. Orion hits the atmosphere at 36 times the speed of sound. The air can't move out of the way fast enough, so it compresses into a shockwave twice as hot as the surface of the Sun. The plasma ionizes the surrounding air and blocks all radio signals. For several minutes, the crew is falling faster than any humans have ever traveled inside a spacecraft, and nobody on the ground can talk to them. The heat shield is 186 blocks of a material called Avcoat glued to a titanium skeleton. It works by charring, melting, and disintegrating on purpose. The destruction of the outer layer is the cooling mechanism. There is no backup system. No redundancy. The heat shield works or the crew doesn't come home. The Artemis I heat shield came back with over 100 locations where chunks had ripped off. NASA spent two years figuring out why, concluded it was gas pressure building up inside the material during reentry, and decided not to replace the shield. They changed the flight path instead. Steeper angle, less time in the danger zone. NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman said publicly that this approach "is not the right way to do things long term." The capsule will slow from 25,000 mph to 17 mph in thirteen minutes. Parachutes don't even deploy until the last four. Everything before that is managed by a curved piece of titanium and glue entering air twice as hot as the Sun. Tomorrow at 5:07 PM Pacific, San Diego might hear a sonic boom. That sound is four people betting their lives on NASA's math being right.

What a start for Jofra Archer! Phil Salt dismissed first ball of the match 😱

9 years ago today, Pearl Jam was inducted into the @rockhall of fame! The ceremony featured a touching reunion with original 'Ten' drummer, Dave Krusen. Then, Ed activated the PJ-heavy @barclayscenter crowd with this tag. #tfh "Betterman," April 7, 2017: youtu.be/84zCxQYTMy0?si…

@PictureSporting Didn’t you come across Akers-Douglas in the old amateur racket game back in the day @meggers10000 ? I’m sure you told me there was a heated argument over the size of his massive head at one point, but that his old school ties prevailed and he bludgeoned his way on regardless…

There are few pictures of underarm (lob) bowling ... this is Geoffrey Kevill-Davies bowling to Ian Akers-Douglas in the nets at Eton in May 1928. Looking on is Eton coach George Hirst. Kevill-Davies never played for the Eton XI. Akers-Douglas played 60 first-class matches, mainly for Kent, and was British amateur rackets singles champion 1932-33-34, and doubles champion 1932-33-35, as well as British open rackets singles champion 1933

@PolitlcsUK @politicshome Good

🚨 NEW: The Government is considering new laws on the public sale of fireworks, including reducing the noise limit, amid concerns about the impact on pets [@politicshome]

@meggers10000 Yup

@meggers10000 Every chance they’ll try and rig it for a Chelsea City final. No doubt their balls will be hotter in the bag or some such sleight of hand

Leeds United will play Southampton @IanBryan77 ...right..

@meggers10000 Just hurry up with it please. You’re delaying the draw for the semis ….

It's all West Ham...we have gone here..

Rishabh Pant won't want to see that one again... 🫣

A reminder that Jimmy Anderson made his FC debut in 2002. Kim Barnett also played CC that year. Barnett made his debut in 1979, a year when Ray Illingworth played. Illingworth started his FC career in 1951, when Patsy Hendren (b. 1889) was still active.
