“The All Blacks stormed into yet another final with a try-fest as their star winger, and tournament leading try scorer, ran into a hat trick of tries against their hapless opposition. The Springboks, however, narrowly scraped through their rain-drenched semi-final, with a lone try ultimately deciding the result. Unconvincing at times throughout the tournament, the Springboks face a mighty challenge in trying to stop their much-favoured opponents this weekend.” (Written in 1995)
@StrangeB00k @thonk_synth Its in the UK! But has suffered a "sortation delay" with UPS. Fingers crossed for delivery tomorrow. Lucky Steve has his copy. 😀
You can hear me talking to Mark Kermode about the film The Long Good Friday on @BBCRadio4 Screenshot programme. I'll be talking about my @footprintsldn walk and how East London has changed since the film was made. It's on Friday at 7.15pm https://t.co/DfwlEHyqn5
@GregHands@DominicRaab Greg: Write a tweet which contradicts the majority view of media responses to Raab's performance at PMQs.
ChatGPT: Once @DominicRaab began with “I have never called anyone scum,” Angela Rayner never recovered.
Fixed!
@BoseService My 600 Soundbar had a firmware update last night but is there anywhere I can find out what was included, improved or fixed? Thanks. Gareth

#LizTruss describing our late Queen as "the rock on which modern Britain was built", but my thoughts turn to real British 'rocks'.
Miners. Emergency workers. Teachers.
The Queen understood too. Its no coincidence that she returned, time and again, to a village in Wales.

Let Corey Taylor know that there is a new venue, called Here @ Outernet, opposite the site of the Astoria at the top of Charing Cross Road. @BBC6Music@CCfunkandsoul
Yes, Bara Brith every time, please. Especially with a slice of cheddar. My dear Mum baked the best Bara but as dementia took hold, she often forgot an ingredient. But we still ate it. Usually. @BBC6Music@laurenlaverne
@MikeEdis Maybe 4 viewing paths are planned, moving faster. Suggestions of a 5 mile queue look about right for 100000 people - that's 4 abreast with rows spaced by 1ft. Managing a 5 mile queue in central London. Wow.
@MikeEdis BBC estimate 33,000 but viewing closed at 1500 on Wednesday after opening at 1700 on Tuesday so that's only 22 hours! Coverage seems to show 2 viewing paths so approx 5 seconds passing the coffin seems reasonable.
