Unusually for a game between two top teams, this is actually a cracking game of football.

@BabajiSutar3 The feat happened at the St. Helen's ground in Swansea, the unfortunate bowler was Malcolm Nash

How many of you know , legendary player Sir Garfield Sobers hitting six sixes (6,6,6,6,6,6 ) in an over against Glamorgan in a first class county match for Nottinghamshire on 31 August 1968 . Let’s relive the fearless batting of Sir Garfield Sobers 🔥🙏

@DavidThackeray2 They certainly do in London David, if a siding has been empty for more than three weeks they pull up the tracks and build a block of flats 😀

Silly question. I travel a lot by train, and everywhere I go I see 1000s of old wagons and 1000s of kms of disused, overgrown sidings and tracks which haven't changed in 20 years. Does anyone do an inventory, does anyone take any interest? There must be millions of scrap value.

Every year, U.S. News ranks the world’s countries by quality of life. Not by GDP. By the actual, lived experience of being a human being inside your borders. Job market. Affordability. Safety. Healthcare. Education. Income equality. Political stability. The results are in: 🇩🇰 Denmark topped the list. A country of six million people, more pigs than citizens, and a deeply held national philosophy that nobody should have too much and nobody should have too little. It works. Demonstrably, measurably, infuriatingly well. The Nordics dominate the top ten like they’ve been doing it for centuries, which is essentially true. 🇸🇪 Sweden at 2 offers parental leave so generous it makes British HR departments weep. 🇳🇴 Norway at 4 sits on a sovereign wealth fund so large it could buy most of Wall Street and still have change left for the fjords. 🇫🇮 Finland at 6 runs the world’s best school system by telling children to play outside instead of memorizing test answers. 🇳🇱 The Netherlands at 9 built a cycling infrastructure so good that the car feels like a lifestyle choice rather than a necessity. 🇨🇭 Switzerland at 3 is simply cheating. Highest median wages in the world. A political system so stable it makes the Vatican look impulsive. Healthcare that functions. Four national languages spoken without anyone declaring a culture war. And the Alps, just sitting there, being magnificent. 🇨🇦 Canada at 5 is what happens when you take North American scale and add functioning public services. 🇦🇺 Australia at 8 adds sunshine and one of the best-funded pension systems on earth. 🇳🇿 New Zealand at 10 adds the kind of landscapes that make grown adults cry on planes, plus a government that has quietly become a global model for actually governing. 🇩🇪 Germany at 7 built the strongest industrial economy in Europe and then wrapped it in a social safety net so comprehensive that losing your job feels more like an inconvenience than a catastrophe. 🇮🇪 Ireland at 15 went from economic basket case to European tech hub in thirty years. 🇯🇵 Japan at 14 has cities where you can leave your wallet on a park bench and come back to find it exactly where you left it, with an apology note from anyone who accidentally touched it. And then there is 🇺🇸 the United States. 22nd. A country with 813 billionaires, highways wide enough to land a small aircraft, and meals so large they arrive at the table like a geographical feature. Behind the US, at 23, sits 🇸🇬 Singapore. Tiny, ruthlessly efficient, with an education system that tops global rankings and a port that moves more cargo than most continents. At 24, 🇵🇱 Poland, which has quietly built one of the most resilient economies in Central Europe after decades of pulling itself up from genuine ruin. And at 25, 🇰🇷 South Korea, which went from war-devastated poverty to semiconductor superpower in a single generation, and still found time to invent some of the best cinema, music and skincare on earth. 🇩🇰 Denmark wins. Again. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

@AndyCakeBaker OK thanks. Have a pint or two at your local. When I left the UK, beer was about 2 shillings a pint of Guinness. .
