Poor Oba. Didn't deserve that. WWE booking makes no sense anymore. It's a good job this lot weren't in control of booking Goldberg when he 1st started or he'd have lost momentum within 6 months, been given a comedy gimmick, then released soon after.

What a match, Oba looked like an absolute beast kicking out of 6 F5s and falling to a 7th.

Doubt this is the last time we see Brock Lesnar vs Oba Femi #WWEClash

What a discovery. RIP George Fidler, and thank you for your service

[Veterans’ Foundation @VeteransFdn]

🌺🕯️ An extraordinary and moving discovery from WW2 history.

After 86 years, the remains of RAF Squadron Leader George Morley Fidler have finally been found—still seated in the cockpit of his Hurricane, where he was shot down during the Battle of France in May 1940 while defending troops retreating to Dunkirk.

For decades, it was believed he had already been buried. But a remarkable chain of events, including a mistaken identity and years of historical investigation, has now brought the truth to light.

Fidler, described as an exceptional pilot, will finally be laid to rest with the recognition he deserves—nearly nine decades after his sacrifice.

A powerful reminder of the human stories still waiting to be uncovered from the past, and of the courage shown by so many.

That ladder match was fire. Everyone put in a heck of a shift with that one #Wrestlemania

[Dave Ashmore @Rayne360]

@GregScottTV Spoke too soon 😪

[Dave Ashmore @Rayne360]

@Cory_Hays407 He was worthy, and obviously Brock thought so too. I don't think he would agree for someone to no sell the F5 if not.

A parasite that has been eating people for 3,500 years is about to be wiped off the planet. It infected 3.5 million people in 1986. Last year, it infected 10. And I have not seen it make a single front page.

It is called Guinea worm. You drink contaminated water from a pond in a poor village. A year later, a worm up to three feet long starts coming out of your leg through a burning blister. There is no pill that stops it and no surgery that works. You wrap the worm around a stick and pull it out slowly, over days or weeks, inch by inch. If you rush, the worm breaks inside you and causes a fresh infection.

Guinea worm is ancient. Preserved worms have been pulled out of Egyptian mummies from around 1000 BCE. The Ebers Papyrus, an Egyptian medical scroll from 1550 BCE, describes pulling the worm out with a stick. For three and a half thousand years, that was the best humans could do.

Then in 1986, public health workers decided to kill the parasite off. They had no vaccine and no drug. What they had was cheap cloth water filters and a small army of volunteers willing to walk from village to village for decades.

The plan was simple. Give everyone who drinks from a pond a cloth filter to strain out the tiny water fleas that spread the parasite. Then send volunteers walking house to house, year after year, teaching people how to use the filters and keeping anyone with an emerging worm out of the water.

It worked. From 3.5 million cases a year to 10. Four were in Chad, four in Ethiopia, two in South Sudan. The other four countries where the worm used to be common, Angola, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, and Mali, had zero human cases for the second year in a row. The World Health Organization has already certified 200 countries as Guinea worm free. Six are left.

The last hurdle is dogs. Cameroon had 445 infected animals last year and Chad had 147, so a lot of the remaining work is on animals, not humans. Strays get leashed, and crews treat ponds to kill any remaining worms. The campaign keeps watching until the number hits zero.

When Guinea worm hits zero, it becomes the second human disease ever erased from the planet. The first was smallpox. It will also be the first parasite humans have ever wiped out, and the first disease ever ended without a single dose of medicine. Volunteers walked village to village with cloth filters for 40 years. Now a plague from the age of the pharaohs is about to be gone.

@Politicalfunn May as well stick Roy Hodgson in as caretaker till the end of the season

🌺🇬🇧 Tributes have been paid to Geoff Blacker OBE, who has passed away aged 90 — remembered not only as a dedicated public servant, but also for his early service in the RAF.

At just 18, Geoff undertook national service in the Royal Air Force, marking the beginning of a life defined by duty and commitment. He would go on to spend decades serving his community in local government, but his sense of service began in uniform.

Described by his family as a “great dad” and a kind, modest man who never sought recognition, Geoff’s legacy spans both military and civilian life.

❤️ A life of service, dedication, and quiet strength.
