Scottish Rugby is immensely saddened to learn of the death earlier today of former Scotland and British & Irish Lions centre, Scott Hastings. He was 61.

@davidlynchlfc Look at England poaching every player form Scottish academy's and young prospects and paying them wages even Celtic couldn't afford, thanks to sky sports money. Much more damaging to the Scottish game than anyone winning anything up here. Fuck right off.

@davidlynchlfc 😘

This is bang on.

Yeah. It's all over. Burnham should make Mahmood Chancellor, Rayner Foreign Secretary and Turley Home Secretary. Rayner would kick arse on the world stage: statesmen would love her. And it would be tremendously entertaining.

This dog is a genius, look at the technique he uses to remove that wheel. ❤️

@Gosleepriya 96. I successed, but I think more like 50% will.

Tell me the umber that is greater than 46 by moving just one stick ? 0.00001% will be succeessed

He was actually Deputy Prime Minister. I absolutely love how all the military guys are so open in their hilarity. And his swagger as he walks off. Recovered well.

There's someone with fish and chips off to a flank. This conveniently allows the gannet to scope the options while presenting a profile of dignified determination to the media. Also, gannets do actually look at you side-on like that.

Very sad to learn RAF pilot George Dunn DFC has died aged 103. Privileged to raise many a glass with him over the years, he once told me, "The war was a bit of an adventure; a toss up who survived. I did, friends didn't. That's the luck of the draw". RIP old friend. Duty done 🍷

37 years ago: The most famous pre-match warm up in football history. Diego Maradona nonchalantly doing keepy ups before a Napoli match with 'Live is Life’ playing in the background.

Does the data include self-identified racial information? Biobank certainly collects that. I'm afraid this looks much more serious, particularly for public confidence, than biobank is presently letting on.

Good for this guy. Reminds me of Alex Renton. Some might say it's presentism, but they need to read a book. theguardian.com/world/2026/apr…

Just found out all about Linda Creed. Had literally never heard of her. Mad really. Time for a biopic, surely? rockhall.com/inductees/lind…

@charlesmurray One strong argument at present is economic. Fleets and business users get such large tax benefits that it significantly depresses residual value. These benefits generally can't be extended to private buyers because of the inhibitive cost to national treasuries.

What is the argument for buying anything except a fully-self-driving (supervised) car?

Incredible that it was only 66 years from the first controlled, powered flight to landing on the Moon!

In June 2016, a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir in Almaty, Kazakhstan, and could not climb out. The concrete walls were too steep and too slippery. A man climbed down to help. Then he could not get back up either. Strangers stopped. Nobody organised anything. Nobody was asked. One person grabbed another person's hand, who grabbed another, who grabbed another, until a human chain stretched down the wall to the water below. The last person in the chain reached down and pulled the dog out. Then they pulled the man out. Someone filmed it from the opposite bank. Nobody in the video was ever identified. Last week, on March 22, 2026, a bronze sculpture was unveiled on the bank of that same reservoir at the exact spot where it happened. It was created by Yerbosyn Meldibekov, one of Kazakhstan's most celebrated contemporary artists, whose work is held in museums in Antwerp, Hong Kong, Singapore and beyond. The sculpture shows a chain of figures holding onto one another. The hand of the last figure extends deliberately beyond the railing so that any passerby can reach out and take hold of it.

This is De Gaulle with his daughter, Anne, who had Down’s syndrome, on a beach in Brittany 1933. He doted on her and she lived with him and his wife all her short life at a time when children with disabilities were regularly institutionalised. She died of pneumonia in 1948 aged only 20. He carried a picture of her with him for the rest of his life. He was buried alongside her. A tale of unconditional, unlimited love.

@melspence2 I agree.

@ericjoyce Getting a PHD is an indicator of intellectual capacity, which makes the drivel he comes out with about, Muslims, Jews and much else even less excusable. Uncle Jimmy’s Not So Secret Army sacked him because he became an embarrassment. There have always been Senior Officers like him

@LilyGrace_09 8960. What on earth is 6/6 vision? A test to encourage the gullible to click on to some kind of mad pyramid scheme?

Only people with 6/6 eyesight can answer Whats number inside the picture 👇
