Some of you may remember Martyn, the bull who wandered into a Ukrainian military position in 2023 and ended up living with the soldiers for more than a year. Eventually, one of the servicemen took him home from the front.
Well, here’s what happened years later. ❤️
That soldier has since turned his home into a refuge for animals rescued from the front. Other servicemen can bring him abandoned animals they encounter and cannot bear to leave behind.
Martyn now has plenty of company: donkeys, goats, pigs, raccoons, geese, sheep, lots of cats and other animals, all brought back from the war zone and given a safe home.
For your new house @Isabel__Eaton ?

Scottish fans are like weans that are naughty at home, but when they visit someone else's house, they turn into impeccable wee darlings

Superb political ad. One of the best you’ll see.
This is better, and resonates more, than anything coming from Labour or the Tories.

Thirty years ago today, The Prodigy released "Firestarter"—one of the defining British records of the 1990s.
The track began as an instrumental, built by Liam Howlett around a distorted keyboard riff that was partly inspired by the Foo Fighters' "Weenie Beenie," with samples pulled from the Breeders, Art of Noise, and Ten City. Then, Keith Flint changed everything.
Up until that point, Flint had been a dancer in the group, dismissed by much of the rock press as having no real musical contribution. When he heard the instrumental, he approached Howlett and asked to record vocals. He had never done it before.
The result became one of the most iconic singles of the decade. Shot on a £20,000 budget in an abandoned London tube station, the video introduced the world to a transformed Flint on a Thursday evening BBC broadcast. The BBC promptly banned it after the premiere. The song debuted at No. 1 anyway and spent three weeks at the top of the UK charts. The controversy only accelerated its momentum.
"Firestarter" set the stage for The Prodigy’s 1997 album, ‘The Fat of the Land.' It became the first electronic album to top the US Billboard chart.
Rest in Peace Keith Flint.

When Satan appears at the end of Constantine (2005), it’s one of the coolest villain entrances ever put on film. White suit, tar-dripping feet, a smile that knows the verdict is already written. Pure menace wrapped in style.
