Today is #WorldBloodDonorDay. Our son Enzo had around 60 blood product transfusions over his treatment for Infant Leukaemia. Here is a clip of him shooting some hoops in Feb aged two, a couple of months before he died. Without blood donors, we couldn't have had times like this ❤️
US forces have launched retaliatory “self-defence strikes” against Iran.
Trump had earlier accused Iran of shooting down a US helicopter over the Strait of Hormuz and vowed to respond to the attack out of "necessity".

As South Africa, we hosted the World Cup in 2010.
Upon the insistence of FIFA & in accordance with the Host Country & Host City Agreements, we had to waiver laws, by-laws, policies, regulations, processes & the like, to ensure that South Africa became the ultimate hosts of the world during the period.
We passed special legislation specifically to meet FIFA's hosting requirements for the 2010 World Cup. The most important were the '2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa Special Measures Act, 2006 (Act 11 of 2006)' and the 'Second 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa Special Measures Act, 2006 (Act 12 of 2006)'. These laws were enacted to give legal effect to the guarantees we had made to FIFA during the bidding process.
The special laws effected temporary special provisions & exceptions in certain areas, including: Special visa, work permit, & accreditation arrangements for players, officials, media & visitors.
These requirements were not exclusive to South Africa, as Korea & Japan (2002), Germany (2006), Brazil (2014), Russia (2018), Qatar (2022), had to enact the same.
People have short memories of the last moment beer ban in qatar (but only for the non vip fans). Between this and the attempt to extort fans over water we see the real infantino a greedy lying snivelling little bully.
@MelissaReddy_@Raminho “It’s obvious when it comes to FIFA competitions, any team, including the supporters and officials of that team, who qualify for a World Cup need to have access to the country, otherwise there is no World Cup.”
Boycott is the way
Don’t like Cork surrounding referee at the end, their own fault for playing last free short.
We will never get the best people refereeing our Games if we keep allowing it.
Everyone on pitch today is an amateur so GAA should be different to other sports.

@McFaul@kwelkernbc This moment was foreshadowed in the opening moments of season one, episode one. It was shocking at the time, but I don't know that we collectively saw the danger through the absurdity of Sean Spicer 100% disavowing objective reality.
@Boatley78@Whitres1@SkySportsF1 They have the exact feed we do thats how they can commentate. They were looking into the sky pad coverage of Russell going over the pit lane exit white line and missed the track action.
“I’m Jake Tapper, tonight correspondent Laura Loomer dives into Hunter Biden’s deranged trolling, Kellyanne Conway reveals Joe Biden fell asleep watching TV again, and Ian Miles Cheong confirms Biden is the reason he’s never left Malaysia. Those stories and Catturd, tonight.”
@RobLooseCannon I remember going in there as the mother was paying a bill. Couldn't believe the amazing cookers they had on display ours was a very old battered yoke.
That said I can 100% swear a bible that the best toast comes from those old gas grills at head height above the cookers.
Dick Turpin begins on @TalkingPicsTV today at 6.25pm with the very first episode. Richard O'Sullivan, who plays the famous 18th-century highwayman, was featured on the cover of Look-in magazine several times.
Back to the beginning...
Space sitcom Red Dwarf begins on U&Gold tonight from 10pm. This is how the first episode was billed in @RadioTimes on 15 February 1988.
