I got told off this morning for meowing. I was feeling a bit peckish, and my bowl was empty. Mummy was sleeping off the gin and wasn't happy with me. It was 4.20am, and starting to get light, but she made me wait till 7am. Service is abysmal in this house.

If you want to buy a new Ford, buy it from TC Harrison, UK Ford dealers since โ€™31. Why? Because - & this is an #AnorakFact - it was founded by T Cuth Harrison, born #OnThisDay in 1906, & he drove 3 #F1 GPs in โ€™50 in an ERA Type-B, including the first, Silverstone (pic).

Gordon Jago sold Rodney Marsh for ยฃ200,000 and used that money to sign Stan Bowles, Dave Thomas & Don Givens. Therefore the foundations were laid for QPR's greatest ever team. Thank you Gordon. RIP

The expression "the whole nine yards" originated with WWII fighter pilots, whose ammunition belts measured 27 feet (nine yards). Using the entire belt meant they gave "the whole nine yards."

Wow, that pilot view though?!! ๐Ÿคฉ I could never muster up enough trust in fellow man to do this, even if I weren't equally terrified of heights and deep water. Stunningly beautiful view though. Well earned! The Blue Angels are absolutely incredible. ๐Ÿ™Œ

Sauber only had two bottles of champagne, both Mercedes and Aston Martin sent them all of theirs so the team could celebrate properly! A very hard fought well deserved podium for both team and driver #BritishGP

Russia struck Kupyansk in the Kharkiv region again, injuring an elderly woman. When Ukrainian forces liberated Kupyansk two years ago, they did it without bombings. The city was 90% intact. Russia has been relentlessly bombing it ever since, and will likely destroy whatโ€™s left.

Another morning not all Ukrainians lived to see. russian terrorists attacked Odesa, Kyiv, Kharkiv, and other Ukrainian cities overnight. There are dead and wounded. Sadly, most of the world wonโ€™t even think about it this morning.
