The Bayeux Tapestry is sold out at the British Museum for 2026. But what if you could collect the entire thing? Open free sticker packs, collect and swap scenes from 1066, and piece together the whole tapestry. No tickets. No queues. Completely free. squadbook.com/bayeux/

Another Star Trek legend lost. Chekov was a true icon of scifi, and one of my fondest memories of any comic con was getting to shake Walter Koenig's hand and tell him how much I appreciated his work. RIP, sir.
Walter Koenig, who played Chekov in the original “Star Trek” series and seven “Star Trek” feature films, has died at 90. variety.com/2026/film/news/w…

In very late news, I had occasion to be at the RDE again yesterday, this was in the car park. It did look more abandoned than parked.

Low level air defence - highly dangerous sport - or in modern speak high octane high adrenaline- we had pretty strict rules about bank angles and nose below the horizon - never really scared myself at low altitude I think the adrenaline kept me safe

Tapered thread on the sump plug (i spent 3 years doing hydraulic plant fitting / repair) this probably was fitted when the sump was still hot and as it cooled down the contraction caused it to crack ! Always let a bike with a tapered thread sump plug fully cool before refitting !

Ricky from RE Performance says that mechanics need licences to work on vehicles! I completely agree 👍
The idiot that assembled it missed the spacer between the wheel and the swingarm. Fatal Mechanical Work 🔧 Note the two washers on the spindle, the mechanic knew something was wrong during assembly. A high street workshop too. Who did the road test?

Just nuke Israel instead..
🚨🇮🇱🇺🇸 Netanyahu is speaking to you, America: "If you're worried about today's gas prices, think of what will happen if Iran gets nuclear weapons, something that Trump and I will never allow. And when that happens, when that threat of that regime disappears, gas prices will go down. But only under Trump. It's not going to happen with those who want to accommodate and appease these tyrants." How much was your last fill up? Worth it? 🤔 Writer: Michael

Remember titanium is used in aviation as £££ isn't an issue unlike on a road bike where you can't afford its replacement!

We've just been to the supermarket, it's 3/4 mile away, I've been out an hour and covered a out 20 miles. It's a lovely old thing, kept up with the traffic along the new road. Also pottered down the single lane tracks.
