Didn't realise we were overran with Longslade survivors on here. I still think of those glorious days when passing any sewage plant. 

As an aside, my wife had to go there a few years ago when she was still in teaching, as her old school was part of the same trust. She sent me a photo of a big display of ex-pupils called 'Cedars Superstars'. It somehow didn't feature a lad from my year who won a stage at the Tour De France, but did feature a series of chaps I went to school with who put some music videos on YouTube - so that's great.

 

Back on news, to an extent, this is an interesting one. I can picture a few claims being made by the flask brigade if we ever score again -  Kent man deliberately fell on Ipswich Town fans, trial hears - BBC News

Daniel McLay (turns out it was third place, but still, I'd argue it beats a YouTube upload).

How many national insurance numbers would he have had to carry that off ?

The clip showed the tiger biting and clawing Chapman as he was sitting in the enclosure. At one point he wags his finger at the animal.

Trump signed the footage with: “Don’t ever mess with nature! President DJT.” It did not show Chapman being killed.

Later the president posted an AI-generated video of himself grinning and having fun by chasing and play fighting with the tiger. It is accompanied by the song The Lion Sleeps Tonight by The Tokens. It features Trump copying the pointing gesture made by Chapman and ends with him and the tiger hugging.
 

When you think he’s hit rock bottom…
