Thing on the news about students complaining that a maths paper was too hard. It would be easier if you took the lid off your pen...

[Formula One History @F1History1950]

It's not a leap year, but we still remember Masten Gregory, born #OnThisDay, 29 February 1932 (a leap year) and passing on 8 November 1985, was an American driver known as "The Kansas City Flash." He competed in Formula One from 1957 to 1965 but had more success in sports car racing.

Gregory's career included 38 starts from 43 F1 Grand Prix entries, mainly with privateer teams. He stood out in non-championship races, notably winning the 1962 Kanonloppet GP with the BRP. His best result in an F1 Championship Race was with the Scuderia Centro Sud team driving a Maserati 250F, claiming third place at the 1957 Monaco Grand Prix.

Gregory's driving extended to endurance racing, where he entered the 24 Hours of Le Mans 16 times from 1955 to 1972. His crowning achievement came in 1965 when he won at Le Mans in a Ferrari 250LM, driving alongside Jochen Rindt for the North American Racing Team (NART).

@PaulMcG1992 Loved Bridge! Same feeling when I walked it after they changed the layout. Now they've plonked a kart track on it!

[Paul McGinnes @PaulMcG1992]

Another of Formula One’s lost corners: Bridge Corner was used until 2009 before the new layout of the Silverstone Circuit (2010-) bypassed Bridge Corner completely and as such, it is no longer used. #F1

Ed Davey, "I'm afraid Nigel Farage should be apologising for helping cause this problem in the first place"

"Before Brexit we didn't have a small boats problem because we had 27 return agreements with European Union countries and we could return people"

"But that's to Nigel Farage, Boris Johnson and the Conservatives, we tore up those agreements when we left the European Union, and now we have this problem"

"I hope when he's on your program you'll ask him to apologise"

"What Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson did is have a magnet of people, more and more people coming to the UK, because we can't return them"

"So again I ask you please, that Nigel Farage is exposed for his failures and contributions to the small boats crisis"

- Maybe we should call them Farage's Brexit Boats

No she wouldn’t

If only I knew I'd have to have an affair behind my husband's back, have a criminal conviction for handling £40,000 worth of stolen goods and 2,000 diazepam tablets and lie about my middle-class upbringing and fake I'm working class for #bbc #strictly to take me on!
DAMN me being married 30yrs, no criminal convictions and an immigrant background with grandparents that fought for this country.

Does anyone know what the pitch fluffers at football games are actually doing with their teeny-tiny forks on long handles?

[NickFrank40 @NickyFrank30]

My grandfather used to say “and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel” and I never knew what it meant until after he died my grandmother explained some magazine did a fluff interview with Magda Goebbels a few years before WW2 that included her strudel recipe and my grandfather, who hated the Nazis with the passion of 10,000 suns, thought it was an example of the media sanitizing evil people and he would use the phrase when someone asked him to overlook a bad person doing bad things and focus on the good.

it's real support from actual racists

[Stephen Coy @Roy_Coy]

So, I got to The Horus Heresy books late, they are fantastic so far, but... what is the actual lunacy with the cost of these books secondhand?!?!! Surely the fact that people are willing to pay £5000 and donate a kidney for a used novel suggests actual reprints would sell well?

Earlier this week I considered being that guy and speaking to my son's school about some of the stuff he's being taught; namely the existence of feminist spiders. Glad I didn't, as long story short, he can't pronounce the word venomous properly.
