💪🚒 Huge respect to West Yorkshire firefighter Nicola Leah, who’s in the middle of a world record attempt for the most burpees in 24 hours – aiming to smash 8,000+!
She’s raising money for @firefighters999, supporting fire service staff & families 👏🔥
Let’s cheer her on!
On Holocaust Remembrance Day, I'd like to share this clip of Sir Nicholas Winton getting to meet the grown-up children he rescued from the Nazis four decades earlier.
Many of you have probably seen this before. But I feel it's worth reminding ourselves that one person can make a huge difference, even in the darkest times.
Just watched the 7/7/05 London Bombings BBC doc. A victims mother couldnt get on tube so got a Black Cab who took her to Reading for free!!! 😇. What a man! She tried to find him but cant. He had a photo of her daughter. Wonder if he’s still a taxi driver and still has the photo
90% of the soldiers on the first boats to hit the beach didn't live to see the end of the day. Look at those faces. Some of them never made it to 18.
They paid the ultimate price for your freedom. You live your life the way you do because of them.
Conmocionado por la tragedia que ha provocado la DANA en España.
Mis más sinceras condolencias a las familias de los fallecidos y toda la fuerza a quienes están viviendo esta difícil situación. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
This dog's name was Gunner. My uncle brought him back from WW2. He was raised and slept under my uncle's anti- aircraft gun. The gun crew shared their
rations to feed him. By the time he was 18 months old, my uncle said he would stand up and look at the sky. If he laid back down they knew all was ok. If he growled
and put his hackles up they got at the ready. He knew the sound of the German aircraft and my uncle said he
never got it wrong. He said Gunner was better than any early warning system. I'm probably the only one left in the family that knows that story now, so I thought I'd tell it before it's lost forever, like many stories must be from that time. Thanks for reading it.

@jonwgoss I hope they are, if it doesn’t draw parallels to their struggle from a local comprehensive to the c-suite of their own bitcoin mining business; I’ll be disappointed #blessed#grit
