@TheLaurences_ The Princess Royal is, in my opinion, the cream of the crop of the Royal family. She is an absolute star 🌟
Sensible, hardworking and reliable.
I would like her as Queen...she would be excellent.⭐️

This of shot of Marilyn Monroe, born 100 years ago today, in Niagara (1953), was marketed as the longest walk in cinema history: 116 feet in a single 18‑second shot. It cemented her hip‑swivelling strut in pop culture, and pushed back on the era’s conservative depictions of women

At a stopover in Hongkong, the second leg of the flight to New Zealand got cancelled due to a technical failure. Some of the Indian passengers crowded around the airline desk. And soon the arguments for preferential treatment poured in.

A very stylish woman, from Delhi, said, "I flew Premium Economy so you must give me priority and if possible upgrade me free to business class."

She was offered Economy Class. Her ticket to NZ was a back breaking 36-hour detour via Fiji-Melbourne. She will take forever to reach NZ.

Another guy said, "I have a business meeting in Auckland so it is very important for me to get there quickly."

He got Economy Class and a detour via Rarotonga or something. That's a 33 hour trip.

The very patient and polite Hongkong guy at the desk then offered me something similar with a 30+ hour detour via Fiji. I said, "Look, I'm really tired. I don't mind waiting in Hongkong but please put me on a direct flight to NZ."

He said, "Okay, please wait. I'll call you soon."

After an hour or two, after the other passengers with "urgent" requirements had been sent off to their gates, the guy comes to me and said, "Your flight will be at 10 am tomorrow. In the meantime you can stay at the airport hotel. Here's your hotel and 3 meal vouchers. The hotel is just 100 metres away."

I thanked him and walked to the hotel. My room wasn't a room - it was like a luxurious apartment, with a separate lounge, massage room, bedroom and direct pool access, plus too many other facilities to list here. I opened my hotel booking app and looked for the rates. It was Rs 68,000 per night. The year was 2017.

Always be at your best behaviour overseas. You are your country's ambassador.

@DMW9699 Don't know how they can call their kids prince and princess when they're not getting a British education

Segundo a lenda, em uma cidade francesa durante a Idade Média, as mulheres realizavam um hábito curioso.

De manhã, as mulheres casadas adicionavam uma pequena quantidade de veneno no café da manhã de seus maridos, que mais tarde recebiam o antídoto quando voltavam para casa à noite.

Isso garantia que o veneno não os prejudicasse e não tivesse efeitos negativos.

A prática tinha um propósito específico: se os maridos demorassem em retornar para casa, os sintomas como náuseas, dores de cabeça, depressão, vômitos, dores ou falta de ar apareceriam devido ao atraso na administração do antídoto.

Quanto mais tempo o homem passasse longe de casa, mais doente ele ficaria. Ao retornar para casa, a esposa inadvertidamente administrava o antídoto, fazendo com que ele se sentisse melhor rapidamente.

Esse truque dava a impressão de que ficar longe de casa causaria desconforto e levava os maridos a se apegarem mais às suas casas e esposas.

@Paul__Browning_ That's a lovely thing you've done for him. He sounds like a cracking lad.

Few months ago a young lad called Toby messaged me on instagram and asked if I’d follow him back, I jokingly replied .. I will if you come and spend the day out in the field with me, rather than all this through the screen stuff.

He did it, his mum brought him at 5am to spend the day at @Bempton_Cliffs with me.. I used his little vlog camera to make him a video that he can share.

He is a little legend, with a foot ailment that made it difficult to walk or stand for long, with a true passion for photography and determination to spend the day with me, it was unreal.

He also had his dad’s old camera with manual focus and none of the gimmicks we all have in our silly cameras .

All these photos are his.

Went to message my late best friend amazing gossip and her number is no longer on WhatsApp. So now I have to go to the cemetery to tell her. This bitch will do anything to get me out of the house.

I came across a theory that AI is starting to make more mistakes because the internet is increasingly polluted with AI slop. The idea of AI cannibalising itself into obscurity is one of my favourite things ever. I hope it is true and I hope it becomes impossible to fix.

More people need to know that ancient Roman engineering was so precise, their aqueducts still produce clear water to this very day - 2,000 years later.

Entré en la Apple Store la semana pasada con un iPhone demasiado caliente para sostenerlo.

"¿Hay algo mal con él?"

El técnico realizó todas las pruebas. Todo salió normal.

Entonces se inclinó y dijo algo que nunca olvidaré:

"Hay 2 ajustes activados dentro de tu iPhone en este momento que lo están cocinando lentamente. Apple los activa por defecto. Acortan silenciosamente la vida útil de tu iPhone."

Le hice la pregunta obvia: "¿Entonces Apple está desgastando mi propio teléfono a propósito?"

No respondió.

Aquí está todo lo que me mostró en los siguientes 5 minutos (guarda esto, tu iPhone te lo agradecerá):
