@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!

@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.

This is how parties die. It starts with noble intentions. Then ends in the grotesque spectacle of Labour MPs claiming hordes of people are joining their party to support a PM who claims he got hoodwinked into appointing the best mate of a notorious pedophile as his ambassador.

The media business is a tough one, but journalists still sign up for it everyday. Today is a rough one as I — and a few other colleagues — were informed by MLB that we were being laid off, effective immediately. The timing is tough with Spring Training a few days away. (1/2)

@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.

Lots of consternation over the Donovan return. Jurrangelo is fun but barring catastrophe to Sloan/Anderson and the MLB rotation he likely never sees the rotation in Seattle Peete is a toolsy player but in his 3rd season of pro ball OPS’d .692 in a very hitter friendly A+ park

#OTD 1923 - Red Schoendienst was born in Germantown, IL. "Mr. Cardinal" served 67 of his 76 years in baseball with the #STLCards. Player, coach, manager, fungo banger, baseball lifer - Hall of Famer! There will NEVER be another like him. Happy 103rd Heavenly Birthday Red!

@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.

@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.

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.”

@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.

@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.

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?

I’m truly honoured to receive an OBE in the King’s Birthday Honours List. When I heard the news, I had to sit down. To be recognised not just for my cricketing career, but for contributing to diversity in sport, means more than I can say. Thank you to everyone who’s supported me.

Not getting a knighthood for winning 2020 Premier League (never talk about it) still hurts. Thoughts?
