"He (Hackney) was a player Chris Wilder would have unleashed had he been at Middlesbrough a little longer"
He got his senior debut under Wilder's predecessor and his league debut in the first game after Wilder was sacked. Wilder never trusted the #Boro academy

Buried in a pit under the Great Pyramid of Giza about 4,500 years ago, this is the Khufu Ship. When first uncovered, in 1954, you could still smell the scent of the cedar wood. Now housed in the new Grand Egyptian Museum

Jean-Paul Sartre died in 1980. Incredible to think he may have seen the film “Every Which Way But Loose”.

This is David Marsh. He went to my old school.
He is one of the small number of European troops who went to Afghanistan and never did much nor went to the front line according to Donald Trump.
He died in 2008 aged 23 in Afghanistan when the patrol car he was in was blown up in Helmand Province.

We are deeply saddened to share the passing of Lola Tiger.
Lola came to us in 2022, when Oakland Zoo participated in rescuing several large cats from an abandoned roadside zoo in Oklahoma, where they had been living in dismal conditions.

"Meanwhile, Princess Anne went for a ride in Kirkbride, Queen Camilla went shopping in Wapping, Prince Edward dropped a clanger in Bangor, and the young ladies of Buckingham asked Prince Andrew if he'd mind staying at home.

Former Conservative chancellor Nadhim Zahawi has defected to Reform UK.
(He was sacked by Rishi Sunak in 2023 after the PM’s independent ethics adviser found he’d broken ministerial rules by failing to disclose that while he was chancellor, his tax affairs were under investigation by HMRC)

Due to directives on balance, the BBC are reporting that yes she was shot dead at close range, but in many belief systems death is not an end but a new beginning, part of a neverending cycle of change.

Conservative Mayor of Tees Valley Lord Houchen told Newsnight in 2024 that 2 private developers had ‘£50m of their money sitting in a bank account’ when I quoted an independent report pointing out the pair had put no direct cash of their own into regenerating the huge old Redcar steelworks site 👇

Those of us who grew up in 1970s Britain didn’t have mobile phones or computer games. But we did have fantastic children’s TV programmes. Like Rentaghost. Here’s my tribute to a wonderful BBC show that was born 50 years ago. #Rentaghost
