@BLackgold_5 Failed to flare ended up porpoising. Be charitable and say it was wind. You can see why the wing roots and main gear are the strongest parts of an aircraft.

Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner touch and go followed by a go-around at Heathrow Airport . What do you think made the pilots abort the landing at the last second?

BBC News - France suspends extra EU border checks at Dover after hours-long queues - BBC News bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…. What a shame it doesn't work in the other direction. If it did they'd be stopped at the 1st EU border not the last.

A jar of Bovril sat on the kitchen shelf of every British household between approximately 1900 and 1995. It was beef extract. Concentrated cattle, in a small brown jar, the colour of treacle, the consistency of marmite, but with a savoury depth that came from the actual stock pot of an actual abattoir in Burton-upon-Trent. A teaspoon of Bovril stirred into a mug of hot water was a hot drink on a cold afternoon. A teaspoon stirred into the gravy gave a Sunday dinner an extra dimension. A teaspoon spread on toast was a snack a small boy ate after school while his father did the football coupon. Bovril was carried in the kit bags of British soldiers in two world wars, advertised on every railway station for a century, and once endorsed by Pope Leo XIII, which is the only product in history to carry the line "Bovril, the two infallible powers, the Pope and Bovril." Unilever acquired it in 2000. Reformulated it in 2004 as a yeast extract for the vegetarian market. Reformulated it back to beef in 2006 after the resulting outcry. Now produced in a factory in Burton-upon-Trent in much smaller quantities. It is still on the shelf in most supermarkets. Most British children have never tasted it. The mug of Bovril at half-time at the football, the hot drink on the touchline at the rugby, the hot drink before a long walk in the Lakes, has been quietly replaced by a Costa flat white from a paper cup. The cup is empty in twenty minutes. The mug of Bovril used to last the second half.

BBC News - Boys' sentences for 11 counts of rape 'too lenient' bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…. Absolutely right. These brave girls came forward after their lives are forever affected and these boys don't even get to see the inside of a cell. Disgraceful

Superb from @michaelgove. The silence in the room is telling. When eloquently delivered facts hit an audience, with many perhaps quietly grasping for the first time that the pro-EU lobby in Britain have been peddling nonsense for a decade.

@Mattisamazing33 Inspired selection. At 35 that puts him at the likely range for a RN commander rank. Bond would have been a Commander before he was an active spy in all likelihood as promotion once seconded is unlikely.

I did actually know Bond was in the navy. I’ve read every single one of the books three times. But I’m massively forgetful. So all these people getting upset can shove their upset up their firmament

James Bond. Cavill would be great. Theo James killed his chance with those god awful Range Rover adverts. It’s got to be Jack O’Connell. He portrayed British Army psychopath brilliantly in SAS Rogue Heroes. And that’s what Bond is. A British Army psychopath
