@The_Bunny_Doll Whereabouts in the U.K. do you live? Don’t have to be mega specific, but I’d be interested to know.

There has been a fortress on this rock since at least the year 547.

It is older than England, older than Islam and older than the Vikings who would eventually destroy it...

This is Bamburgh, on the Northumberland coast, standing on volcanic rock 150 feet above the North Sea. The Britons had a stronghold here called Din Guarie, possibly the capital of the kingdom of Bernicia from around 420.

In 547 an Anglian warlord named Ida took it, and that is the moment Bamburgh enters written history. Around the year 600 his grandson Æthelfrith gave the fort to his wife, Bebba. It became Bebbanburh, Bebba's stronghold, and eventually Bamburgh. The castle is named after a woman almost nobody remembers...

It became the royal capital of Northumbria. Vikings destroyed it in 993. The Normans rebuilt it, and in 1464 the Earl of Warwick turned cannon on those walls and broke them, in what is usually described as the first time an English castle fell to artillery.

It sat as a ruin for the next two hundred years, until a bishop's fortune turned it into a charity, with a free school and an infirmary running inside the walls. In 1894 the armaments magnate William Armstrong bought the wreck for £60,000, spent over a million rebuilding it, died before the work was finished, and left it to his family, who own it still.

Nearly fifteen hundred years of kings, raiders and cannon fire, and people are still living in it...

Iron Maiden’s Adrian Smith going full feel while playing the solo from Pink Floyd’s ‘Comfortably Numb’.

Sublime.

@The_Bunny_Doll What is FFS?

[Guy Burgess @Guygamblingspy]

@Dollgrafiya Out interest, what town would that be?

@coinbureau It’s not going to pass, just get used to it.

@benjamincowen Where’s Harry Kane?

May the benevolent Lord forgive me, but I do believe this is the first time I have posted anything from Big Train, which remains one of my favourite sketch shows from, well, any decade really.

This sketch, London to Edinburgh, is one of my favourites from the series, not least because the performances (from Simon Pegg and Amelia Bullmore), are inspired.

Good morning.

Before becoming one of electronic music's biggest stars, Moby often surprised audiences by reaching beyond his own catalogue. His version of the iconic "James Bond Theme" transformed Monty Norman's instantly recognisable melody into a driving electronic workout, blending dance music with cinematic tension in a way only he could. This performance at Pinkpop 1998 captures Moby's fearless approach to live shows, turning a film classic into an exhilarating festival moment.

“Roger Moore’s recitation of Rudyard Kipling’s Tommy is as powerful today as ever. A timeless reminder of how quickly society forgets the men and women who stand ready to defend it, until they’re needed.”

This is such a powerful and moving recital from the late Roger Moore.🇬🇧🙏

Probably the most unexpected match made in music! Sean Lennon and Les Claypool back together again in Cleveland.

Imposible que consigan un solo clip de Ronaldo humillando a Messi de esta manera como lo hizo Messi con Cristiano aquí 💀

[Vala Afshar @ValaAfshar]

Impossible is nothing.

[Santy @Santy003_]

The biggest fear of goalkeepers:

Messi. 🐐

[Sam @thatsam009_]

One video that perfectly shows the difference between Messi and Ronaldo. 🐐
