The Man Who Went Shopping For Dining Chairs and Accidentally Bought Stonehenge. On September 21, 1915, a British barrister named Cecil Chubb was given a very simple task by his wife, Mary. She sent him to a local auction in Salisbury with strict instructions: buy a nice set of dining chairs for their home. But as Chubb sat in the auction house, he got distracted. "Lot 15" came up for sale, a 30-acre plot of land featuring a crumbling, dilapidated ring of ancient rocks. The bidding was incredibly sluggish, and on a complete whim, Chubb raised his hand. When the gavel fell, he had just purchased Stonehenge for £6,600 (roughly $800,000 today). He proudly presented the 5,000-year-old megalithic wonder to his wife as a surprise "birthday present." Mary was absolutely furious. She didn't want a pile of ancient rocks; she wanted her dining chairs. Three years later, tired of his wife’s complaints and realizing the immense historical weight of his impulse purchase, Chubb donated the entire monument to the British government. He attached one strict condition: the public must always have access to it. Today, it stands protected forever, all because a husband couldn't stick to a shopping list.

@TCNetwork Proof, if proof were needed, that you endlessly spout the most ridiculous bollox. Risible stuff.

This kind of stuff happens during war. We should be on guard.

I did not expect that.. 😅

This situation stayed heavy on our hearts for days. A mother crow had been caught in an illegal leg trap, and her leg was badly injured. Letting her go like that would have meant certain death. We could tell she had been caring for babies recently, but we had no idea where they were. For several days, animal control officers searched everywhere for her chicks, but they couldn’t find them. At the same time, we were looking after a baby crow that had been orphaned in a completely different area. Holding onto a small hope, we decided to bring the two together. As soon as the injured mother saw the baby, she walked straight to him. She gently held him with her beak, pulled him close, and then placed herself in front of him, protecting him from the people watching. She was a mother who had lost her babies, and he was a baby who had lost his mother. The very next day, against all expectations, her babies were finally found. She raised the orphan along with her own chicks at the rescue while her leg healed. When the time came, they were all released together—one large, happy family. This will always be one of our most cherished rescue stories.

It is with profound sorrow that we bid farewell to Jaye Edwards, one of the last women to take to the skies in service during the World War II. She has passed away at the age of 103, and now, at last, she has returned to the endless blue horizons she loved so dearly.

@OhNoezzz @sunlit_upland @DPJHodges Married Orthodox Jewish women traditionally cover their hair in public.

@sunlit_upland @DPJHodges Do Jewish women have to wear the Burqa, niqab or hijab? No they do not. Do women have equal rights as men, in the Jewish community and in Israel? Yes they do. You are making a fallacious comparison to deflect from their misogyny.

If you want to argue public spaces should not be used for worship - because that’s exclusionary - fine. But condemning just one religious group, in this case Muslims, is bigotry. I’m not sure what the debate is.

@OborneTweets So @Ofcom when are you going to act? Why is GB News being allowed to repeatedly breach regulations?

A massively consequential investigation by Alan Rusbridger into GB News: how "one political party in Britain has effectively ended up with its own television station". Raises deep questions about hi-jacking of British media/political culture: thenewworld.co.uk/alan-rusbridge…

@fem_mb Wishing you many happy returns of the day 🎉🎂💐

I was born exactly 58 years ago, to the very minute. My mother said it was one minute to midnight and the nurse had to run and check three clocks to make sure they put the right date on the birth certificate.

@wideawake_media Deranged nonsense.

Tucker Carlson: "You will never convince me, at gunpoint even, that Keir Starmer is making independent decisions about the future of Britain." "He is taking orders, that could not be clearer." "And I think it's clear to the British population."

@Martina It’s not true.

That would be insane.

@Oceanbreeze473 World War II started in on 1st September 1939. Where were you?

I bet the French were glad the US didn’t say that in 1941. 

@TheVikingDane Another Trump grift.

Does anyone know what happened to the Board of Peace? Serious question. What have they done for the billions they collected?

@cecegkh Just give them a cardboard box like the rest of us 🤷‍♀️

Here’s an amazing idea for cat lovers. A place for your cats that looks like art.

@AvonandsomerRob Americans happened.

Normally, Cadbury's chocolate is full-price just before Easter. Every shop I've been in, it has been discounted by 20 to 50% for the Mini Eggs range. I tried a small bar, and the taste has completely changed. It's tasteless & oily. What happened to Cadbury?

@OEimhear Good luck. They’d be mad not to take you.

Hi all, I’ve an entrance interview tomorrow to go to college in September at the ripe old age of 59 (it’s never too late). There are only 46 places, I’m excited, but quite nervous, so can I get good thoughts, vibes & crossed fingers from all of you please? #Excited #BackToSchool
