@BBCSport@bbc are you just ignoring the tennis final?? Reel us in showing an exciting first set then pretend it’s not happening? Coverage of the Olympics has been appalling!
OTD in 1944, Aberdeen pilot John Cruickshank and his crew embarked on a dangerous mission, which led to the sinking of a German u-boat, but left John with 72 injuries as he brought his aircraft home to Sumburgh. He was awarded the VC. He's now 104!

My @ObsFood a few days early, in which I slag off the utter fraud perpetrated by 'wellness' gurus, point out that the new M&S gut shot will only be bought by the worried well, ie people who don't need it, and declare huge admiration for @Schwarzenegger https://t.co/KqKVW1Dl26

Why?
This is the incredible moment Lucy, a 13-year-old who is blind and neurodiverse, played a highly-complex Chopin piece, leaving @MikaSounds and @Lang_Lang speechless.

A friend described someone who’s had a lot of plastic surgery as ‘having had more work done than the Rest and be Thankful. Sadly this excellent joke is only understood in Scotland and doesn’t travel. I nevertheless feel obliged to share it.

The NHS is the closest I’ve known it to completely broken.
And it isn’t just about a lack of social care.
It’s about unwieldy diagnostic & treatment pathways, poor IT, over regulation, insufficient staff, lack of empowerment of juniors & insufficient urgent care options.
They’re changing the guard at Buckingham Palace -
Christopher Robin went down with Alice.
