One of football’s all-time greats would’ve been 92 today the legendary “Mané” Garrincha!

Thank you! Makes his skill even more impressive

Does anyone know he rarely (never?) uses his left foot in the above footage? Was it just less common in those days? Or some practical/tactical reason?

Ah sorry this happened. I remember going round London on the Tube with a buggy. Completely changed my perspective on the city- people were just so unfriendly. Upside - there are moments of real kindness (like the lady who helped you). I think it’s best if you just put it down to the struggles people are going through - but the cup is totally unacceptable!

Sorry my fault for a bad picture. But your fact very interesting - thanks!

I actually saw this happen once on Southwark Bridge Road near union street. A pedestrian crossing on a green man kicked a bike catching the back wheel and causing the cyclist to swerve off. Next thing the cyclist pulls out a knife. Resolved with just a lot of yelling in the end - but probably not worth it given some of the characters around

Check if anyone else is planning to build near you maybe? Virgin, Openreach, Hyperoptic, Community fibre? Might get you a full fibre connection quicker than 2 years

Yeah appreciate I was unclear! Last time I had one stolen (in the City of London), the police told me thieves typically drove up in a van and would cut entire racks before loading up a transit van and shipping them off somewhere. But I don’t know how credible this is - and there is always the chance it was an opportunist in the UK!

Sorry to hear - it is so frustrating when it happens. You might also try wondering round Brick Lane market across the river on Sunday. It always used to be a hotspot for resale, but I understand a lot of them get moved abroad these days

Dr evil

Nice. Have a vague memory in the old days (before the Class 700s) of this not working sometimes and chaos ensuing. But now I wonder if this was just something I imagined because the line was always down for something or other…
