We have 2 converted farm buildings on our farmyard that we let out to holidaymakers. We never hit the Welsh government’s recent target of letting them out for over 182 days a year (even though they’re available all year) because we’re inland, not in the coast. They’ve just sent us a backdated premium (additional 50%) council tax bill for the last three years. It’s over £26,000.
I am seriously concerned for my husband’s mental health. We can’t pay that. We can’t sell them as they’re not suitable for permanent accommodation. We can’t rent them out as they’re not classed as permanent accommodation. What the actual fuck are we meant to do here?!!

@aakashgupta Yes but posh people do this.. its not the sport its the life allowing them to play sport.

Tennis players live 9.7 years longer than sedentary people.
Not 9.7 months. 9.7 years. Nearly a decade.
The Copenhagen City Heart Study tracked 8,577 people for 25 years and ranked every sport by how much life it adds.
Badminton: 6.2 years. Soccer: 4.7. Cycling: 3.7. Swimming: 3.4. Jogging: 3.2.
Tennis almost triples jogging.
A separate study of 80,000 adults found racket sports cut all-cause mortality by 47% and cardiovascular death by 56%. Swimming hit 41%. Aerobics hit 36%.
The question is why racket sports destroy everything else.
Three mechanisms stack on top of each other.
First, the physical demands. A tennis rally requires explosive sprints, lateral cuts, and sustained aerobic output. You're training fast-twitch and slow-twitch muscle fibers simultaneously. Most cardio only trains one system.
Second, the cognitive load. You're reading spin, predicting angles, adjusting position, and executing motor patterns in real-time. Your brain is solving spatial puzzles at 80+ mph. That hand-eye coordination and strategic processing builds neural connections that protect against cognitive decline.
Third, and this is the one researchers keep coming back to: you literally cannot play alone. Every racket sport requires another person on the other side of the net. That forced social interaction triggers neurochemical benefits that solitary exercise cannot replicate. Strong social connection alone increases your chance of longevity by 50%.
Jogging is you and your thoughts. Tennis is you, a strategic opponent, and a community.
Dr. Daniel Amen is right. The data is overwhelming. If you want the single highest-ROI activity for a longer life, pick up a racket.

@SkyNews After having the brain injury, what will this person do with that lump sum of money, instead, passengers should be served with only a limited amount of alcohol to prevent any similar account
English

A cruise passenger who was overserved alcohol and suffered a possible traumatic brain injury after falling down some stairs has been awarded £220,000 in damages.

@buddyperdue @SkyNews The only problem is the courts found them guilty. Does that mean everyone who got injured being drunk, can now sue the bar they were last at?
English

@SkyNews "overserved" is a joke that drunkards use to blame the bartender rather than themselves for drinking too much.

The one thing I'm really annoyed that I'll not see by going to this World Cup is the look on American bar tenders faces, when English (and European) fans don't tip them.

They filmed Messi in slow motion to figure out why defenders couldn’t touch him. Look at the second clip he takes a step forward without placing his left foot down 😳🐐

Name a moment in football that you could watch on replay forever?

This man destroyed a plane, a Lambo and a yacht for a $988,000 insurance payout
T.R. Wright bought a plane for $46,000, insured it for $85,000, and flew it straight into the Gulf of Mexico on purpose
Then bought a Lamborghini with a salvage title for $76,000, drove it into a ditch full of water and collected another $169,000
After this his friend set a Cessna jet on fire at a Texas airport for a $440,000 payout
Sank a yacht in Hawaii for another $180,000
He filmed the plane crash on his iPad and used the footage in a commercial for a waterproof case
That commercial is what made investigators suspicious
They arrested him at the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas
His partner told the court: "I wanted a friend, basically" and he ended up with 65 months in prison

@_Brainboxx A professional wouldnt have done all the unnecessary cuts and would have had that tiny tree in half the time.

@realEstateTrent every gold rush has way more people selling shovels than finding gold. SF coffee shops full of people on claude code is the 2026 version of that (me too sometimes)
English

I was on the phone today with a friend who’s deep in the startup scene in San Francisco.
His eyes completely lit up as he was telling me about the scene there right now.
“It’s AI pandemonium out here!”
People are flying in from all over the world.
They just want to be part of this moment.
He said you walk into coffee shops or restaurants and hear every language you can imagine. Young people everywhere, all chasing the AI craze, and they’re all on Claude code all day doing crazy things.
He told me the level of disruption right now feels like an absolute gold rush moment.
They’re 100% convinced this is the beginning of a massive technological change that will completely change society.
Apartments are hard to find. Rents are surging. People are doing whatever it takes to be there.
It’s a massive gold rush and everyone wants in.

@KieraDiss National service is required. They might shine in a level environment away from shit parents and peer group

@1OftenWonderWhy @CrimeLdn Be in jail if he dies. Woke system doesn't like the law.

@CrimeLdn British cops should be trained on how to render a suspect unconscious with a tap or two to the jaw, one who is actively combative and trying to get rid of evidence
