BBC Sport is talking about Cortina 1956 a lot

👍🏼
Toni Sailer of Austria takes gold in the men’s downhill to become the first alpine ski racer to win three gold medals, at a single Olympics

A feat only repeated once since

In 1956 there were only three men’s events

Toni competing in the slalom two days ago 👇🏼

With no respect

“Nigel is democratically elected

You’re a lady with a Twitter following”

I remember Reform being very clear on by elections too

Trump play book

The electorate are there to be played

Fuck you
Nigel Farage once vehemently believed that defections should trigger by-elections…

I challenged Reform’s Andrea Jenkyns on his now opposite stance

And this was the state of her response…

Why’s everyone so excitable over Helen of Troy tonight? 🤷‍♀️

We did this in 1956
If minded to brave the icy conditions

Maybe a trip to the cinema?

So much - excuse my language

Shit reporting of facts on YouTube (and wiki)

I have to use material with BIG disclaimers

If you’re going to post footage - and I am glad you do

Get your f’ing facts right

It takes but five minutes of intelligent button pressing to get to the truth

Good morning 1956

In the early hours, Norwegian MV Dovrefjell runs aground on the Pentland Skerries, Orkney Islands, Scotland

Wick and Longhope lifeboats attend but with waves breaking heavily over the ship & solid spray reaching a height of 100 ft the lifeboats are unable to lie alongside her

“Responding to the latest release, Trump said the documents had cleared him of allegations about his links with Epstein

Will we be talking about this tomorrow?

Of course not

Stupid time o’ clock

But there’s iplayer

Nonetheless good to see the imaginatively bereft schedulers of the BBC are picking up on online conversations ..

They’re starting to dig into the archive and curate wee packages

Not clips ..
Good Morning 1956

On television tonight

Mañana

An opera for television by Arthur Benjamin

And you can see it, tonight

Broadcast for the first time since 1956, on lil old BBC4

The scheduling (11.45) frankly ridiculous, but will be on iplayer

How rinky dink is that?

BBC and their bans 🤷‍♀️
A young lady from Cardiff records her first single for release later this month

The BBC will promptly ban from the airwaves - as the lyrics are deemed to be “too suggestive”

Angela Morley orchestrates and arranges this record too! - see yesterday

Her orchestra are backing Shirley
