🐝russian invaders have left an explosive trap inside a bee hive while retreating from Kyiv region. The two grenades were rigged to explode when the hive was opened, but the bees "defused" the trap by clogged the pins with beeswax. 🌻Even the Ukrainian bees do their part!

Good afternoon everyone. When coal trains were still plentiful on the Fiddlers Ferry circuit, it was an extreme rarity to find a single 37 working an MGR, but that's exactly what happened here in the early 2000s. 37898 between Sankey Bridges and Monks Siding. Stay safe all 🙂👍

#OTD in 1876, Nigel Gresley was born. The famed railway engineer designed the first steam locomotive to achieve 100 mph, (Flying Scotsman) and the fastest steam locomotive in the world (Mallard)! 📷 Gresley with the crew of the 'Flying Scotsman' following its 100mph run, 1934.

Were I advising Rooney and Vardy, I'd say knock it on the head, give a million quid between you to the @bowelbabe fund and go home and hug your children. Both of them would come out of all this far better as a result. #wagathachristie
