Connaissez-vous le hurling ? France 3 a consacré un joli reportage à la pratique de ce sport irlandais emblématique à... Paris ! Zoom sur le hurling avec l'association Paris Gaels GAA dont font partie certains membres de notre Ambassade. Alors, tentés ?
When you stand next to the swine who, just a few hours ago, wanted to sell you and your country to the Russian mass murderer for the highest possible price.
@AngusReform I’d suggest that one person can’t conduct a review of a budget of £62 billion. Streeting isn’t ex military but has the enormous resources behind him including head of armed services. Can I ask in return what are your resources within Reform to review the same task as Streeting
This was a huge part of my football childhood.
On Grandstand in 1988, Des Lynam passed over live to Radio 2 for Sports Report.
Peter Jones, James Alexander Gordon, the famous theme, on live TV.
Goosebumps.
@laythy29 Always had strong admiration for Aussies. My late dad as a West Indian respected for their cricket. He couldn’t understand why they crossed that line of “win at all costs” when they were patently better than anyone else. Maybe a latent insecurity.
If the entire Australian team had come out at the time of #Sandpapergate and said “look we’ve Fd up and collectively take responsibility”, backed each other to take account and be better in the future we’d not be here now.
You allow individuals to be hung out to dry it comes back to bite.
ithaca rising 🇫🇷 🇬🇧 (@ithacarising) Achille Muller, now 101, remains the last survivor of the Free French SAS, those small bands of paratroopers who served with the British Special Air Service and lived by the simple motto "Qui ose gagne" - Who Dares Wins. After the annexation of Moselle, he slipped away from Forbach on a bicycle at 17 years old, crossed into Spain and Gibraltar, and eventually reached England, where the British held him for weeks on suspicion of being a German agent before de Gaulle's people claimed him. Trained in Scotland, he later drove one of the armed jeeps that harassed German columns across Brittany in the summer of 1944. One afternoon, with only a dozen men in a few vehicles, he and his companions talked a force of roughly 2500 Germans into laying down their arms; the enemy, cut off from news and convinced the Allies had already closed the net, preferred surrender to further resistance. When the glider that carried his jeep touched French soil for the first time in years, Muller stepped down and kissed the ground. Even now, the old soldier still embodies that SAS spirit -he did a tandem parachute jump just last year at 101.
On Monday (Nov 16), our film CRIME & PUNISHMENT IN AMERICA premieres on PBS. The 4-part, 8-hour series covers 250 years of American criminal justice and how it has shaped our culture and politics. Thank you to everyone who trusted us with their story and lent their expertise.
My father Earvin Johnson Sr. was born in Mississippi. Man, I wish he was alive to see Scott Colom become the first Black senator from the state in over 140 years! 🙌🏾
