Watching the #TourdeFrance from the UK by way of the Peacock US stream. Really good coverage with the added bonus of @PhilLiggett commentating on his 54th tour. He is the voice of the tour

[All Rock Music @allrockmusic]

The harmonies on "Seven Bridges Road" never get old. The Eagles were already an incredible live band, but moments like this remind you just how special those voices sounded together. One of the greatest live vocal performances in rock history.

Nous entrons en campagne aujourd'hui à La Flèche, dans cette ville de la Sarthe, dirigée par Romain Lemoigne, qui a remporté ici une très belle victoire aux dernières municipales.

Cette ville est le symbole de notre engagement auprès des électeurs.

Why is #Starmer still representing the UK on a foreign stage. He has resigned because nobody wants him as PM let alone to speak on behalf of the country. #YvetteCooper and #KeirStarmer arriving in Turkey on Tuesday. #cooper has failed in every role she has been given enough said

[OMG I love that song! @OMGIluvthatsong]

Young Rascals - Groovin' (On a Sunday Afternoon) (1967)

Talk about an underrated harmonica riff!

I love how this has such a sad yet happy feel to it at the same time. That's musical genius!

Whenever John Major has the temerity to sneer at other politicians for making buses run more efficiently, or lecture us as if he is some sage on what needs to be done, just rewatch this. If only we’d have had PM
John Smith and not PM John Major.

[Mr PitBull Stories @MrPitbull07]

If ever there was a popular actor whose most famous role was diametrically opposite to his own life , surely it was Arnold Ridley. He became famous and very popular for playing Private Godfrey in the hugely popular tv series Dads Army. His character of Godfrey was elderly, doddery, kind, polite, mildly incontinent and a conscientious objector.
But Mr Ridley's life could not have been more different. Born in 1896 he tried to enlist at the outbreak of WW1 in 1914 but was turned away because of a hammer toe. But he was accepted by the Somerset Light infantry in 1915 and sent to the Western Front.

In the space of a year he saw much hand to hand fighting in the trenches He was stabbed in the groin with a bayonet and his legs were riddled with shrapnel. In 1916 at the Battle of the Somme his left hand was rendered forever almost unusable by another bayonet wound , at the same time he was smashed in the head by a German rifle butt which left a legacy of blackouts. He was then medically discharged that year.

He rejoined the army in 1939 as a 2nd Lt, his job was looking after journalists in France attached to the BEF, was evacuated on an overcrowded warship during Dunkirk operations from Boulougne. But by now his WW1 wounds were catching him up and he left the army on medical grounds in 1940.

He immediately joined the Home Guard in Caterham! He did of course go on to write The Ghost Train.

Arnold Ridley passed away in 1984. A true hero who gave so much to our country. R.I.P.
