Woohoo Evatt FINALLY realising there is no point having 3 centre backs on the pitch here! #bwfc

Fred, in 1979, brought down a chimney brick by brick. This is an unbelievable watch.

Steeplejack Fred Dibnah single-handedly demolishes a massive chimney stack, brick by brick, from the top down.

Richard Hammond appears to have got lost on his way to a fancy dress party, ended up on stage at #glastonbury in his Scarface costume instead

The Soviet ЭШ 6/45 Walking Excavator is like a living piece of post-apocalyptic artwork. The rust, the mismatched curtains, even the fact it's decades old and built in a country which no longer exists.

This really is the crux of the problem - NHS systems all being run at 100%, instead of 80%, capacity, no slack to deal with sickness/surge in winter viral illness etc. Going on for years, steadily getting worse. Hospital medical beds >100% capacity in summer = disaster in winter

Replying to @Samfr
3) Efficiency vs resilience - Whitehall still tends to think that a system going over capacity has a linear effect - but it doesn't it's catastophic. But how do we get people to realise that extra capacity isn't "waste"?

Also goes to the heart of the staff retention issue - thankless task constantly being squeezed, working with a full ward/clinic/huge admin pile/GP day at baseline and then having to squeeze in extra to cover sickness/winter pressures etc, not sustainable for most people

Thanks for highlighting this @Samfr - amid all of the coverage NHS crisis has had this winter, nobody has crystallised the problem so well

Can't believe this is 30 years ago. David Lee's wing play and McGinley's header are first class. That Bolton team were great to watch

NEW: Britain’s grim winter of strikes, falling incomes and a worsening NHS crisis is not some unfortunate series of events It’s the inevitable result of a decade of Tory austerity that steadily weakened the state’s capacity to respond to shocks enterprise-sharing.ft.com/re… Thread:

We hear how the NHS is short of beds. Why don’t managers put more in?

This is still easily the best England side I have ever watched. Easily.

Have experienced every types of #eng tournament loss: heroic failure, abysmal no-show, ground down by superior teams. Losing a 50-50 game against a top team is a first…Somehow easier to accept?
So predictable and easy to play against - no width with wing backs cutting inside, so predictably poor at taking and defending against set pieces, Dapo wasted at wing back. 3-5-2 just seems easy to defend against, especially when no width from wing backs #bwfc
All those years of the @Fife_Plague_Doc keeping his Tazocin and Meropenem safely locked away pay off - soon they'll be the only things that work!

Although I do realise I've done that thing of sharing a clickbaity headline due to political bias, which is exactly what Twitter/The Times wanted me to do. Am sure pharmacists will stick to prescribing criteria better than we do! And need to crisis manage around lack of GPs
The absolute state of this - not been able to get this out of my head all day! "A currency trader" - of course, not at all fictional. Still, no doubt reported as fact on the front page of the Mail, Express etc tomorrow
