Stubhub got anything to do with this shitshow? British museum setting a very low bar for the paying public.
Waited since I was 7 years old to see the Bayeux Tapestry. Got in an hour-long online queue to spend £50 on tickets. Got there ahead of time. Stood in a queue for 20 minutes. Then was told halfway through the queue that the gallery was closing.
The @britishmuseum stinks 😭

This afternoon we were in CMK when the missus was taken ill. A lady called Sara(h) came to her aid. She was a nurse and stayed with the missus until I fetched the car. Just a lovely act of kindness by a stranger. Missus feeling much better than earlier.

What an extraordinary moment at Lord’s.
Cricket gave Imran Khan to the world, and today the cricketing world refuses to forget him.
Former England captain @Athersmike speaks up for Pakistan’s greatest cricketing icon on the world stage, while much of Pakistan’s own media remains afraid to even mention his name.
A powerful moment. A shameful contrast.

Captain Mainwaring and the Walmington-on-Sea Home Guard spot a migrant boat in the Channel and alert the Royal Navy, which promptly enacts Reform UK’s policy.
The bald occupants of the boat are less than impressed.

Tagnutt/poundland bumble on T20 comms. Love to know what the other comms did to upset their boss and be stuck with a 'less talented oratory than player'....
