I met the OG Lionesses at historic Nuneaton event and it made me wish one thing The class of '73 were in town for a special event

A great story in the local paper about the 1st England women’s football match, which took place in Nuneaton in 1973, but also talks about the current plight of the new, fan run Nuneaton Town and its quest to return home. www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/local-n...

Have no idea about what or who the drama was but very reassured that the CWA have acted swiftly and decisively.

Been struggling with a plot point for a while. Answer came minutes after I put my laptop down last night as I brushed my teeth for bed. Sent myself a motivational email on my phone so I wouldn’t forget.

15 months ago work told me that it would probably be a quiet start to the year as there was a new project in but it wouldn’t be something I’d have a lot to do on. Today, I finally finished it.

I think.

Little bit of off topic fitba post. Top of the Highland League with a game to go. If both teams equal each others results and Brechin can’t swing the goal difference, it will be the third consecutive season where Brechin will miss out on the title on goal difference.

A friend of mine moved to Spain, met a French girl, had 2 kids in Spain. They’ve never lived in the UK. If they want to visit this summer, they have to have a British passport as despite not living here due to him they’re British or they can’t come. Which is mad. And will cost the best part of £300.

This might be the single greatest achievement of my life. 1,000 straight correct answers on #Nerdle.

Probably should have done something with numbers as a career. I’d be loaded. Instead, I chose words. Look how that turned out!

Wireless Festival boss defends decision over Kanye West appearance Its managing director calls the rapper's past comments "abhorrent" but asks people to "offer some forgiveness".

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... I reckon if you're less than a year removed from releasing a song called 'Heil Hitler,' any normal person would think you're not fit to be in the running to headline a major festival.

Hello, World - NASA NASA astronaut and Artemis II Commander Reid Wiseman took this picture of Earth from the Orion spacecraft's window after completing the translunar injection

Hello, World should be this generations Blue Marble. Incredible image. I can't see it without feeling a host of emotions. Hard to put into words. Incredible what we're doing even in times of such strife & pain. I hope we choose a future that protects & cherishes this. www.nasa.gov/image-articl...
