US now proposing that all visitors have to disclose their last 5 years of social media content along with phone contacts, email addresses etc, regardless of whether they need a visa or not as well as biometrics and a selfie for an ESTA application. US plans to start checking all tourists' social media | US News | Sky News I imagine Palantir or other mates of the orange gibbon like Elon will be allowed access to this info as well.

Perhaps someone got a bell stuck up his arse

Fucking hell. He was a major part of my favourite Hampshire team, led by Mark Nicholas. Had no idea about his other issues, which seem to be a big problem in cricket at the moment. RIP fella.

That's Xavi, he's a great admirer of MLT. Matt did an'evening with' at the Mayflower a few years ago and Xavi did a short film praising him which they showed on a screen.

She should be good in cup competitions, obviously she's no mug.

Maybe his crotch is rising? It caught sight of his neck and got excited...

No, he's rushing off to get an engagement ring 😁

If that were me, I'd have accidentally stepped on the ball as i moved out of the way 😎

Hahaha! Bin dippers lose 2.1 in the 7th minute of 6 minutes extra time😁

Orr out now, bowled trying a sweep shot. 98/5. Still there's always Saints to cheer us up.... 💀

fawanews.sc works in Spain *cough* VPN FFS just in time to see the goal

There's a huge blaze at the moment on the N York Moors just north of here (Scarborough). It's been going for a few days now and has the added bonus for the firefighters of unexploded ordnance left over from WW2 training going off occasionally. What is impressive to me is that local businesses have, without being asked, rallied round to help. Takeaways and restaurants have been sending food and drinks to the emergency service personnel and laundries have been taking in their clothing to clean. A local woman started a fund raiser which has raised £8K so far, which she's put into a kitty at the local garage to pay for diesel for the tractors which the farmers have been using to construct firebreaks etc. It would have been easy for people to just assume that this sort of thing is organised by the govt. but it's heartening that the community spirit is so strong here.

'ampshire 290 -7, Gubbins 144 n.o. Reasonable score, or not enough?

He was accidentally shot by Arrec Ballwin

If you read Catch 22 or see the film, in the military DT would have been Milo Minderbinder, doing a deal with the Germans to bomb his own airfield for cash.

Oh, just remembered. I was on a work course in Bournemouth , we were sat in the bar when the barman said that Tom Jones and his band were staying overnight for a gig at the BIC the following day. Tour bus rolls up at midnight, loads of people got out; it was his band and backing singers but no TJ, they told us he was staying elsewhere with, ahem, 'a friend'. Stayed up most of the night getting pissed with them, they were mainly Americans and were a fantastic and funny group.

Now we need a stone mason who did some work for Nick Mason

Held a door open for Gary Numan - he just walked through without a 'thank you', so I naturally did the British thing of passively aggressively saying 'You're welcome' when he was almost out of earshot. Met Bruce Dickinson in the flying club lounge at White Waltham when he was a student pilot. (On the flying theme, I was at Goodwood having a lesson, When I got back, my Dad told me he'd been talking to a visiting pilot who'd left not long before. It was David Gilmour... )

Heading off-topic for a moment, did you know that Charlie Drake recorded a single written and produced by Peter Gabriel? Not only that but the session musicians PG assembled for it included Robert Fripp, Sandy Denny, Phil Collins, Brian Eno, Percy Jones and Keith Tippet..
