I've just watch the end of the NORAD Father Christmas tracker - I didn't expect him to explode when he got to the North Pole.

So Röhl and the team have gone and the North Stand is closed. What's next in the Chansiri shitshow? If the stand wasn't safe at the end of last season, he should be prosecuted. #ChansiriOut #SWFC.

I've been thinking what should #Labour do in response to the last election and come up with a mini-manifesto.
1. Shut up about culture war stuff. They can lose to both the left and right but cannot win.
2. Shut up about immigration numbers. Again can lose to both left and right but cannot win. 1/...

Currently attempting to make my first ever sourdough loaf. I can see why they cost £5 or whatever at the shop as it seems a ridiculous process. It better be worth it...

First year that I've run 1,000 miles in a year. PBs in 5k, 10k, HM and Marathon as well. Not a bad year running wise.

Labour election in 97. Apparently, I thought Saddam Hussain was a "bad man" during First Gulf War but I don't remember that.
What's the first major news story you remember as a child?
Challenger for sure. After that the next one I remember vividly was the Berlin Wall. Then the invasion of Kuwait. Obviously other things happened between those but I'm talking off the top of my head.
Really curious about Ukrainian answers.

The Challenger explosion. I remember watching the footage on the little B&W TV that only came out of the closet for space shuttle launches and presidential speeches.
