Charles Green told us about his plan to take Rangers into English football… 👀 But back in 2002, there were talks to bring BOTH Rangers & Celtic south. ⚽️ Keith Harris, Football League chairman at the time, tells @richardajkeys about an agreement in principle — and a lunch with the two boards that needed some careful hosting… 🍽️😬 Different plans. The same ambition. But how close did this one come? 🗞️💥 Would you have wanted it to happen? 👇 #Celtic #Rangers #ScottishFootball #EFL #keysgrayunleashed

In the past week alone, Muslims have: 1. Slaughtered 9 Christians during a funeral in Jordan. 2. Beheaded 40 Christians in Nigeria with machetes. 3. Massacred 60 Christians in Ethiopia and burned down their homes. They didn’t get even 1% of the media coverage Gaza gets.

Come on Twitter. Do your stuff SOMEONE knows who it is…..

After 50 years in business 😔

This year alone, more Christians have been killed by Muslims in Nigeria than Gazans in three years of war. Not a single Muslim or pro-Palestinian activist has protested like they do for Gaza. Weird.

World class

"At least I ******* ran!" 😡 An emotional @WayneRooney tears into the Man United players after another humiliating defeat.

I’ve never been a fan of @TheEconomist but this woman who is editor in chief is doing irreparable damage to the brand

Wow, the quality of basketball from GS vs ATL in the WNBA Finals is pure 🔥🔥🔥 Particularly, this 4-minute stretch: beautiful basketball! Miss, miss, miss, blocked, airball, missed layup, miss, miss, miss, MAKE, miss, miss, turnover, miss, miss, turnover

Another car crash interview from Labour. “That’s £190,000 per person…we could buy them all a house.” This Labour govt are out of their depth. This is scarily incompetent. It’s no wonder Labour are bankrupting us and taxes are going up to pay for it.

She made it big in 2008. Hmmmm. Sometimes it’s very easy to believe in the selling-your-soul-to-the-devil thing.

Every time a German Messerschmitt pilot wanted to escape a Spitfire on his tail, he did the same thing. He pushed the nose down. In a dive, the German engine kept running — it used fuel injection. The British Spitfire's engine cut out. For one and a half seconds the Merlin went dead, the aircraft shuddered, and by the time it caught again the German was gone. Worse: if a German was behind a British pilot and the British pilot dove to escape, the German could follow and keep shooting while the British engine was silent. Pilots were dying because of a carburetor. The engineers at Farnborough knew about the problem. They were working on a long-term solution — a redesigned carburetor that would take years to perfect and manufacture. A woman named Beatrice Shilling fixed it with a washer. She was born in Hampshire in 1909 and was the kind of child who spent her pocket money on Meccano sets and tools. At fourteen she bought her first motorbike. Her mother, with the inspired instinct of someone who understood what her daughter actually was, found the Women's Engineering Society and arranged an apprenticeship at an electrical firm. She went to Manchester University — one of the first two women ever to study engineering there — graduated with a degree in electrical engineering, stayed another year for a master's in mechanical engineering, and in 1936 joined the Royal Aircraft Establishment at Farnborough as a scientific officer. By the late 1930s she was one of the best carburetor engineers in Britain. She was also one of only three women to hold the British Motorcycle Racing Club's Gold Star — awarded for lapping the Brooklands racing circuit at over 100 miles per hour on a motorcycle. She had reportedly told her future husband, an engineer named George Naylor, that she wouldn't marry him until he earned his own Brooklands Gold Star first. He earned it. They married in 1938. The problem with the Merlin was specific and lethal. The SU carburetor used a float chamber to regulate fuel flow. Under negative g-forces — the forces experienced in a sudden dive — the fuel flooded to the top of the float chamber and starved the engine for 1.5 seconds. Just enough time for a German pilot to turn the tables entirely. The RAF had known about this since the Battle of France. The formal solution — a redesigned pressure carburetor — was in development but wouldn't be ready for years. Shilling was thirty-one years old, working in carburetor research, and she designed a fix in weeks. A brass thimble with a precisely calibrated hole in the center — later simplified to a flat washer — fitted inline in the fuel line just before the carburetor. It restricted maximum fuel flow to just enough to prevent flooding without cutting off power. The key breakthrough: it could be fitted without taking the aircraft out of service. No downtime. No factory return. The old guard at the RAE looked at it and called it a plumbing fix. They called her a plumber. The first batch of 5,000 units was made by a Birmingham firm that normally manufactured plumbing fixtures, which they found embarrassing. The RAF pilots who flew Spitfires with Messerschmitts on their tails called it something else. They called it Miss Shilling's Orifice. With deep affection. By March 1941 she had organized a small team and was personally touring RAF fighter stations across England — traveling between bases on her old racing motorcycle — fitting the device to every Merlin engine they could reach. Squadron leaders all over the country were demanding installations. The word spread faster than the official channels could keep up with. The Germans noticed. They couldn't explain why British fighter pilots had suddenly started following them into dives. They were baffled by the new aggression. They didn't know about the washer. The restrictor remained in use until 1943, when the full pressure carburetor finally arrived. It had kept British pilots alive for two years in the middle of the war they couldn't afford to lose. After the war she worked on the Blue Streak missile. She studied what wet runways do to braking distances. She helped design a bobsled for the RAF Olympic team. In 1967 she solved overheating problems on an Eagle Mk1 Formula 1 car. She never received a top promotion at the RAE. Such positions, she was told, were for men. She received an OBE in 1949. The citation said "services to aviation." It did not mention the washer. She retired from the RAE in 1969. She kept racing motorcycles and sports cars. She modified and tuned both in her home workshop until she couldn't anymore. She died on November 18, 1990. She was 81. The Battle of Britain is one of the most documented events in British military history. Hundreds of books. Dozens of films. Memoirs by the pilots who flew in it. Almost none of them mention the carburetor problem. Almost none of them mention her. The pilots who benefited most never knew her name. They just knew that when they pushed the nose down, the engine kept running.

Guy who doesn’t know what a record deal actually is

Oh dear … here’s Precious Andy explaining in 2016 that the free movement of people has destroyed jobs in the UK… He’ll say anything for power. But you must know that by now. It’s just a race to the bottom hey Andy?
