@StuBennett @S_Davin20 WKD Blue launched in summer 1996, so Stu may well have been quaffing it as an early trendsetter, especially if it was launched on promo!

@S_Davin20 Memories of the exact details may be a little hazy tbh. I would’ve been drinking whatever was the cheapest.
English

I’m adamant I was the first in my school to try blue wkd and I was 14 so that would’ve been circa 2001 when it was released.
You had Hooch or Reef Stu tell the truth.

It’s summer ‘96. Fridge is full of blue WKDs. I’m wearing a fresh pair of Kickers and a baggy lime green shirt. England just smoked the Dutch 4-1 at Wembley. Got my fave CDs blaring on the Sanyo hi-fi. See you in the Horse & Groom in about an hour, lads, then on to the Welsh Club. Bring your fake IDs. My dad’s driving me if anyone needs a lift in. Pernods on me. #CoolBritannia

@MarkSterlingEsq @isThatVsK @BryceDShook @WrestlingOpen Strong winter coat game going on here. Sartorial excellence meets functional design.

@QoSBaszler Curling stones come from Scotland and Wales. They just do stuff like this to confuse their English neighbours. This one just happens to have gone global with the confusion.
Also, good luck to the US mixed pair in the final.

Some of you morons think I am a fellow moron. I SAID GOOGLE IT. The stones curl in the OPPOSITE direction that physics says the spin direction should send it. They legitimately don’t know why this only happens. It ONLY happens this way in the sport of curling to these stones.

I, Shayna Baszler, am the biggest defender of the sport of curling. I’m not joking, it’s awesome. SCIENCE CAN’T EXPLAIN IT! Legitimately. Google it. Curling defies normal physics.

@DPJHodges As Mr Akehurst is one of those posting it, I believe that proves it must indeed be false.

@_LooCijntje Welcome to the Cardinals. Hope the new chapter is hugely successful for you!
English

@JohnDenton555 Thank you John for all of your excellent Cardinals coverage and storytelling. I hope to see your work again very soon.
English

@Jkrom34 I think it was one of those trades that was a genuine win for the teams involved. The Cardinals improved their farm system again with players who have a shot at breaking the team at some point. The Mariners have picked up a fantastic player, without weakening their farm too much.

@TheCUTCH22 English Cardinals fan here. I had the opportunity to travel over to the Opening Day game at Busch a few years ago. I wanted to be there to see Pujols and Yadi play together again in their last season. I hope you and the Bucs fans get the chance to do the same with you this year.

@RossADixon @TMSP85 @niccruzpatane @elonmusk However a couple of airlines who have switched to Starlink have already confirmed it to be closer to 2%, which ties in with MoL’s figure. He’s an accountant by trade and runs Ryanair by being cost obsessed.
English

@TMSP85 @niccruzpatane @elonmusk Yes but the Ryanair CEO said 2% when Elon and another space X engineer said it's 0.3%. While that still might not make it viable for Ryanair, calling Elon and idiot about aerodynamics is just a ridiculous comment.
Edinburgh, Scotland 🇬🇧 English

Interviewer to Ryan Air CEO:
“You've accused him (Elon) of not knowing anything about aerodynamics. Meanwhile, he's rescuing astronauts from the ISS and planning to put humanity on Mars. How do you square those things?
Ryanair CEO’s response on Elon Musk:
“Mr. Musk apparently took objection to me highlighting the fact that there’s a fuel drag penalty. He claims there isn’t. And I simply responded, “Well, you clearly don’t know anything about aircraft aerodynamics if you think that’s the case.” He’s wrong. And certainly when he says there’ll be no fuel penalty, it’s an idiotic and stupid statement.”
English

@slbsn @marctwomey11 Pretty sure that if he was indeed silenced for 6 months, part of being silenced involves not telling everyone has been silenced, along with details as to why he was silenced. So he’s either making it up, an idiot, or possibly both.

Off to watch @AEW Holiday Bash at Co-op Live tomorrow. Asked my daughter this morning who she was looking forward to seeing. The answer was "@TheDonCallis Family and the guy who flips everyone off" @rainmakerXokada 😂

@AndyBTravels @northernassist Agree with you about the 323s. They are a massive downgrade on the Blackpool Corridor. Since the move from 331s on most services, I use the train less often and drive more as a result.
English

And finally back in U.K. with @northernassist from Manchester Airport to Bolton with a totally unsuitable train for the Airport to Blackpool Corridor.
Also why on earth do Northern not have Driver Operated Doors on arrival?
English

@tezilyas @OfficialFPL Just joined, should be good fun so thanks for organising.
Hoping for a better FPL season this year. I scored like Blackburn last season.

@slbsn Everyone’s favourite Forest supporting, Man United Cosplayer, with another hot take to earn a few more pennies via the tech companies. Bless him.
