Harry Enfield & Chums - Kevin returns from Manchester slightly influenced... 😂😂Classic! Perry (Kathy Burke) has just returned from Manchester complete with the accent & mannerisms too! Loved these Kevin & Perry sketches. Film made me laugh too; shame it was critically panned.

“Where’s the Bloke, Darling?” – The Harry Enfield Sketch That Would Get Cancelled in 5 Seconds Flat Today 😂 Classic Harry Enfield & Paul Whitehouse sketch: Footballers interviewed by a woman doesn’t go well at all. “Where’s the bloke, darling?” “Where’s the bloke, love?” “Go on, get the bloke!” The woman calmly says “I am the bloke” and they just completely blank her, demanding the actual bloke for the proper football chat. 🤣 Repetitive, awkward, and brilliantly deadpan. Proper old-school British comedy. No chance they’d get away with this nowadays 😂 They’d be cancelled before the ad break.

Stand proud today and every day!

Every time a German Messerschmitt pilot wanted to escape a Spitfire on his tail, he did the same thing. He pushed the nose down. In a dive, the German engine kept running — it used fuel injection. The British Spitfire's engine cut out. For one and a half seconds the Merlin went dead, the aircraft shuddered, and by the time it caught again the German was gone. Worse: if a German was behind a British pilot and the British pilot dove to escape, the German could follow and keep shooting while the British engine was silent. Pilots were dying because of a carburetor. The engineers at Farnborough knew about the problem. They were working on a long-term solution — a redesigned carburetor that would take years to perfect and manufacture. A woman named Beatrice Shilling fixed it with a washer. She was born in Hampshire in 1909 and was the kind of child who spent her pocket money on Meccano sets and tools. At fourteen she bought her first motorbike. Her mother, with the inspired instinct of someone who understood what her daughter actually was, found the Women's Engineering Society and arranged an apprenticeship at an electrical firm. She went to Manchester University — one of the first two women ever to study engineering there — graduated with a degree in electrical engineering, stayed another year for a master's in mechanical engineering, and in 1936 joined the Royal Aircraft Establishment at Farnborough as a scientific officer. By the late 1930s she was one of the best carburetor engineers in Britain. She was also one of only three women to hold the British Motorcycle Racing Club's Gold Star — awarded for lapping the Brooklands racing circuit at over 100 miles per hour on a motorcycle. She had reportedly told her future husband, an engineer named George Naylor, that she wouldn't marry him until he earned his own Brooklands Gold Star first. He earned it. They married in 1938. The problem with the Merlin was specific and lethal. The SU carburetor used a float chamber to regulate fuel flow. Under negative g-forces — the forces experienced in a sudden dive — the fuel flooded to the top of the float chamber and starved the engine for 1.5 seconds. Just enough time for a German pilot to turn the tables entirely. The RAF had known about this since the Battle of France. The formal solution — a redesigned pressure carburetor — was in development but wouldn't be ready for years. Shilling was thirty-one years old, working in carburetor research, and she designed a fix in weeks. A brass thimble with a precisely calibrated hole in the center — later simplified to a flat washer — fitted inline in the fuel line just before the carburetor. It restricted maximum fuel flow to just enough to prevent flooding without cutting off power. The key breakthrough: it could be fitted without taking the aircraft out of service. No downtime. No factory return. The old guard at the RAE looked at it and called it a plumbing fix. They called her a plumber. The first batch of 5,000 units was made by a Birmingham firm that normally manufactured plumbing fixtures, which they found embarrassing. The RAF pilots who flew Spitfires with Messerschmitts on their tails called it something else. They called it Miss Shilling's Orifice. With deep affection. By March 1941 she had organized a small team and was personally touring RAF fighter stations across England — traveling between bases on her old racing motorcycle — fitting the device to every Merlin engine they could reach. Squadron leaders all over the country were demanding installations. The word spread faster than the official channels could keep up with. The Germans noticed. They couldn't explain why British fighter pilots had suddenly started following them into dives. They were baffled by the new aggression. They didn't know about the washer. (More story replies)

Ahem.

Little Britain was definitely WAY ahead of their time. Comedy that became Reality! 🤭🤔

This is possibly the best advert ever on British TV. For Carlsberg beer it features some great England players who play in a Sunday league match. Lots of banter, crunching tackles & great action, including a Bobby Charlton rocket.

Well, I wasn't going to heaven anyway......😂

The time a Burnley fan casually showed up down his local on a horse after a victory against Everton back in 2016. 🤷‍♂️😆🐴

@AugWindsock @MrNickKnowles @SkyUK @skytv Same here absolute shit

@MrNickKnowles @SkyUK @skytv When I moved house and took my Sky Q box the installer had a bit of a strop about going in the attic and persuaded me to have Sky Stream. It’s utter shit. I have to keep rebooting it and it’s slow and clunky. I’m cancelling as soon as I’m out of contract.

I’ve tried to stick with @SkyUK for @skytv but the prices are hiked constantly and miles off new customer rates - the internet is diabolically poor, connectivity between Q-boxes hopeless & dropping out Customer service terrible Can anybody recommend a better alternative?
