_sacrilege39-traditional-tenby-queen-victoria-red-postbox-blacked-out.jpg "Tenby train station, is one of the busiest in West Wales during the summer season, however it appears that its platform postbox was not so well used by pictured postcard writers, and as such, has been taken out of use by Royal Mail, and repainted black to signify so.<br/>John Perrett who took over station adoption duties at the seaside town five years ago, volunteering to offer his help after finding that he had more and more complaining to do to rail authorities about the poor appearance of the facility - many holidaymakers’ first impression of the resort - has been left, like many others, disgruntled that the traditional wall mounted red post box which has VR on it, denoting that Queen Victoria was monarch when its was installed, has been repainted black.<br/>“I’m disappointed and annoyed that the post box on Tenby station has recently been taken out of use. As far as I know there was no consultation and as it's a listed building I am surprised it's been allowed,” said John.<br/>“They could have blocked it up and painted the block red so it would blend in.<br/>“I’ve used it numerous times over the last few years. It's only been blocked off in the last month.”<br/>However, one local postie said that she believed that it had been decommissioned due to its lack of use and also lack of maintenance to keep it functional.<br/>“I’ve collected from that box every day for the last year or so, but I’ve collected one postcard!” said Anto O'Hara, responding to a post on Facebook about the matter.<br/>“The door is cracked on the inside and is pinned together with screws. It got to a stage that I couldn’t open the door hence why it has been decommissioned.”<br/>This was backed up by former local postman Martin Vickery who commented: “As a former postie who collected from it for years, we were lucky to get more than a couple of letters a week, and some times none at all, but it should be red like other boxes which are out of use.<br/>“Shame they did not paint the station at the same time!”<br/>One person responding however, called Royal Mail’s actions ‘sacrilege’.<br/>“Should have just been blocked up - that's sacrilege, especially with it being a queen Victoria one!” they remarked.<br/>Other locals admitted that they didn’t even know that a post box was located there; whilst many criticised Network Mail’s continued lack of upkeep at the station, labelling it a ‘filthy rubbish strewn embarrassment’ rather than the ‘pretty, inviting station’ it used to be.<br/>Sharing feedback she’d receieved after raising the matter with the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority, County councillor for Tenby’s south ward Cllr Sam Skyrme Blackhall said: “Royal Mail typically paint listed boxes black when decommissioned. The box is included in the listing for the station.”<br/>Senedd Member for Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire, Sam Kurtz said it was ‘disappointing’ and vowed to write to Royal Mail.<br/>")

Despite injuries from such incidents, the league's football boss denied any directive to crack down on the move.<br/><br/>'Harry Grant got sin-binned for less than what Corban Baxter did. Just saying,' one posted.<br/><br/>'Refereeing is completely different from the men's game. You're binned for attacking a kicking player's leg and a crusher. You only get put on report in this game,' said another.<br/><br/>'Terrible look for the game given the 'player safety' being thrown at us all week by the NRL,' pointed out another.<br/><br/>Blues coach Kylie Hilder played down the contact after the match.<br/><br/>'I don't think she was deliberately attacking the legs. It was just an unfortunate situation,' Hilder said.<br/><br/>It proved a masterstroke for NSW to replace teen sensation Jesse Southwell with veteran halfback Rachael Pearson.<br/><br/>The 30-year-old drilled a dropout to the sideline that signaled the beginning of NSW's first-half dominance before 25,492 fans - the most that have ever attended a women's Origin game.<br/><br/>Pearson continued to kick deftly, showing little sign of the calf injury that had hampered her this month, and made a try-saving one-on-one tackle on Tarryn Aiken in the second half as Queensland stormed back into the game.<br/><br/>'I thought Rachael was outstanding,' NSW coach Kylie Hilder said.<br/><br/>Outstanding with 108 meters and two line breaks, Sky Blues prop Caitlan Johnston grabbed a short ball from Olivia Higgins and crashed over to put paid to Queensland's comeback with six minutes remaining.<br/><br/>The experienced Maroons were clumsy early on and had no answers when the visitors shifted the ball at break-neck speed.<br/><br/>'We knew we made some crucial errors in that first half and it did us in,'Maroons coach Tahnee Norris said.<br/><br/>'If we can fix those crucial errors, I think it changes the game.'")

And it seems every eventuality is being catered for at the Emirates ahead of what could be a thrilling final day. <br/><br/>A video has now emerged online showing Arsenal's staff practicing the trophy presentation. <br/><br/>The club had laid banners reading 'Premier League champions' all over the pitch, while a stage emblazoned with the Premier League logo, had been erected in the centre circle. <br/><br/>The Premier League trophy can also be seen standing on a plinth on the stage. An identical trophy will be in Manchester this weekend if City go on to win the league instead. <br/><br/>Staff can be seen queueing and walking onto the stage, just as the players would do to collect their medals. <br/><br/>Members of the club shook hands with each other, with one person appearing to present those walking onto the stage with pretend medals.<br/><br/>An expert engraver will be on hand at each stadium to etch the required team's name onto the trophy, while a set of 40 medals will be ready to be presented at each ground.<br/><br/>Should Arsenal go on to win the league, an open-top bus parade will take place through the streets of Islington on Monday, May 20.<br/><br/>Ahead of the final day of the season, Arteta had pleaded with David Moyes to help his Arsenal side clinch their first league title in 20 years. <br/><br/>The Spanish football manager played under the Scot during his time at Everton and was hopeful West Ham could take points away from City on Sunday. <br/><br/>'He [Moyes] has been instrumental in my career,' Arteta said. <br/><br/>'Not just as a footballer, but as a person as well.

Can't remember who played bass, probably Chris Kisgen. He was going through a divorce as well, and we spent a lot of time recording during that time.

_puzzling-moment-in-women39s-state-of-origin-clash-that-has-left-footy-fans-calling-for-consistency.webp "New South Wales may be celebrating a huge victory in the opening match of the first-ever three-game series in Brisbane, but one crucial moment could have made it a very different result.<br/><br/>Footy fans were left baffled after Blues five-eighth Corban Baxter seemed to avoid a penalty for colliding with the kicker's leg in the opening exchanges of the first match of Magic Round at Suncorp Stadium.<br/><br/>The incident came just days after Melbourne Storm and Queensland Maroons hooker Harry Grant faced penalties for a similar, milder offense. <br/><br/>Early in the game, Baxter collided with Maroons' Zahara Temara after she kicked the ball, but no immediate action was taken by referee Kasey Badger or the Bunker. <br/><br/>Later, Baxter was reported for the collision, causing further confusion among fans. <br/><br/>This incident followed Grant's recent sin-binning for minimal contact with a kicker, sparking debates on rule enforcement.The NRL judiciary found Grant's contact posed an injury risk but wasn't careless. <br/><br/>The issue of illegal pressure on kickers has been prominent this season, with several players being charged. Despite injuries from such incidents, the league's football boss denied any directive to crack down on the move.<br/><br/>'Harry Grant got sin-binned for less than what Corban Baxter did. Just saying,' one posted.<br/><br/>'Refereeing is completely different from the men's game. You're binned for attacking a kicking player's leg and a crusher. You only get put on report in this game,' said another.<br/><br/>'Terrible look for the game given the 'player safety' being thrown at us all week by the NRL,' pointed out another.<br/><br/>Blues coach Kylie Hilder played down the contact after the match.<br/><br/>'I don't think she was deliberately attacking the legs. It was just an unfortunate situation,' Hilder said.<br/><br/>It proved a masterstroke for NSW to replace teen sensation Jesse Southwell with veteran halfback Rachael Pearson.<br/><br/>The 30-year-old drilled a dropout to the sideline that signaled the beginning of NSW's first-half dominance before 25,492 fans - the most that have ever attended a women's Origin game.<br/><br/>Pearson continued to kick deftly, showing little sign of the calf injury that had hampered her this month, and made a try-saving one-on-one tackle on Tarryn Aiken in the second half as Queensland stormed back into the game.<br/><br/>'I thought Rachael was outstanding,' NSW coach Kylie Hilder said.<br/><br/>Outstanding with 108 meters and two line breaks, Sky Blues prop Caitlan Johnston grabbed a short ball from Olivia Higgins and crashed over to put paid to Queensland's comeback with six minutes remaining.<br/><br/>The experienced Maroons were clumsy early on and had no answers when the visitors shifted the ball at break-neck speed.<br/><br/>'We knew we made some crucial errors in that first half and it did us in,'Maroons coach Tahnee Norris said.<br/><br/>'If we can fix those crucial errors, I think it changes the game.'")
