Description: Tony Smith image Alamy F80GRC - Manchester United Football Club is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England, that currently competes in the Premier League, the top flight of English football. Founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, the club changed its name to Manchester United in 1902 and moved to Old Trafford in 1910.
Manchester United have won 20 league titles, the most of any English club, 11 FA Cups, four League Cups and a record 20 FA Community Shields. The club has also won three European Cups, one UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, one UEFA Super Cup, one Intercontinental Cup and one FIFA Club World Cup. In 1998“99, the club became the first in the history of English football to achieve the treble of the Premier League, the FA Cup and the UEFA Champions League.
The 1958 Munich air disaster claimed the lives of eight players. In 1968, under the management of Matt Busby, Manchester United became the first English football club to win the European Cup. Alex Ferguson won 38 trophies, including 13 Premier League titles, 5 FA Cups and 2 UEFA Champions Leagues, between 1986 and 2013, when he announced his retirement. Louis van Gaal is the club's current manager after Ferguson's successor David Moyes was sacked after only 10 months in charge.

\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
'Blue Room' is a single by The Orb. It was released in 1992 on Big Life Records. Gallup, who compiled the UK singles chart, had recently decided that any release with more than 40 minutes of play would be classified as an album rather than single. The Orb thus decided to record a 39:57 version of 'Blue Room' for a special release.
Founded in 1988 by Alex Paterson and KLF member Jimmy Cauty, The Orb began as ambient and dub DJs in London. Their early performances were inspired by ambient and electronic artists of the 1970s and 1980s, most notably Brian Eno and Kraftwerk. Alex Paterson apparently began his music career in the early 1980s as a roadie for the post-punk rock band Killing Joke.
'Blue Room' is said to be the longest single to ever reach the UK charts, peaking at number eight. An edited version appears on the album U.F.Orb. The Orb's critical and commercial success in the UK peaked in the early 1990s with their albums The Orb's Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld and U.F.Orb, which reached #1 on the UK Albums Chart in 1992.
This success led to their infamous appearance on BBC 'Top of the Pops', where they showcased their quirky style by playing chess (an interest of Paterson's since his early youth) while the group's single 'Blue Room' ran in the background.

--------------------------
The area where I live was once full of collieries and Astley Green (about 10 miles away) was fortunate enough to have been saved from total demolition by a number of mainly steam enthusiasts, leading community members and supporters within Lancashire County Council.
Mainly due to the uniqueness of a 3,300 hp twin tandem compound reversible steam winding engine the demolition was to a halt. As the result of the stay of execution, the museum grounds house Lancashire's only surviving pit headgear and engine house, both of which now have listed building status.
The Astley Green Colliery shaft was sunk in 1908 to exploit the extensive coal reserves in the south Lancashire Coalfield. The coal seams at Astley Green are very deep and are overlaid by about 100 feet of Chat Moss, wet and unstable ground. The colliery only had a lifespan of 62 years, closing its gates for the last time in 1970.
Apart from the steam winding engine and headgear the museum houses many exhibits, not least of which is the collection of 28 colliery locomotives, the largest collection of its type in the United Kingdom.
Amongst the exhibits housed in the Engine House is the largest steam winding engine ever used in the Lancashire Coalfield. Built by Messers' Yates &
Thom in 1912, the twin tandem compound engine delivers 3,300 HP.

I remember when backpacking in Japan back 20 years ago, the rage was heated toilet seats. Thermostatically controlled mind.
Every Ryoken or house (but not temple) offering B&
B seemed to yank up the temperature to 30 degrees for gaijin (foreigners or outsiders), while others probably like me discreetly switched them off (together with stool analysis and a number of other innovations that have thankfully never left Japan). So think about how lucky you are when you next complain about that chilly bog seat.

The Midlothian area of Scotland was once the heart of a large coal mining area. After the decline and defeat of Arthur Scargill, the man who was described as mad for suggesting that 20,000 miners jobs in the UK may go. The true figure was in excess of 40,000. He may have been militant, but he was not mad.
Shame the victors get to write the history eh?
Midlothian is left with some towns and villages with remnents of those heady days. One is Dalkeith:
