A royal helicopter set to pick up Princess Anne suffers an in-flight emergency

On Wednesday, the world finally witnessed the very first match of much-anticipated cricket tournament The Hundred with some of the biggest names of women’s international cricket joining forces and battling each other for the Manchester Originals and the Oval Invincibles. One such performance came off the bat of Indian skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, who made her tournament debut as a member of the Originals and lit up The Oval with a barrage of boundaries in her short yet impactful innings. View this post on Instagram Coming to bat at two-down, Kaur collated a powerful 29 runs off just 16 deliveries while adding to her team’s cause towards picking the first win of the tournament, period. During her time at the crease, the 32-year-old went on to smash six fours. Yes, 24 out of her 29 runs came from the ball racing across the ropes. By the time Tash Farrant tricked the Indian batter into giving up an easy catch, she had done enough damage as the Originals reached the 108-run mark in just 84 deliveries. Fans, cricketers and other critics of the game saw Kaur’s performance from all corners of the world and were left thoroughly impressed and entertained. However, one of these famous big names belonged to England’s Sam Billings, who went on to pay a special compliment to her: Harmanpreet Kaur is a gun! — Sam Billings (@sambillings) July 21, 2021 “Harmanpreet Kaur is a gun!” he wrote talking about the aggression with which she rose to the occasion and played the knock. Unfortunately, not all of the Indian captain’s fans were able to comprehend Billings’ intentions behind the tweet and thought that the Englishman was “trying on her”. As a result, many jumped on his Twitter feed: Ayee hamari ladki pe line marna band kar — shena brar 🦋 (@she__nah) July 22, 2021Don't try on her..! She won't marry a non-indian — Rishab Agrawal (@Rishab__08) July 22, 2021Bhai Asian chahiye kya , yaha log ko bas big chahiye Do you want Asian ? People here jusr want big.. — Vibhanshu Dubey (@vibhanshu06) July 22, 2021@ImHarmanpreet bhai Hamara sis ko line derahekya @sambillings good bro you are great — M (@MidhunNair__) July 22, 2021Sam bro .. katega tera bhi@sambillings — Swapnil Srivastava🇮🇳 (@weRabbit12) July 22, 2021Regardless of the misunderstanding, Kaur’s side missed out on winning the first-ever match of The Hundred as the Invincibles’ skipper Dane van Niekerk played a captain’s knock, scored an impressive and unbeaten 56-run innings off 42 deliveries and guided her side to victory. For her exceptional performance, the South African cricketer was honoured with the ‘Player of the Match’ award. Harmanpreet Kaur will next be seen in action on July 25 when the Manchester Originals take on the Birmingham Pheonix at the Old Trafford. View the full article

Just like people who post lyric videos online are the backbone of YouTube, stunt doubles are the backbone of every action movie ever and need all the appreciation in the world. They are the ones risking their lives for real, just so we can enjoy some crazy and incredible shots with our favourite actor. Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson is one of the most popular action stars of our time and even though he looks like he can take on any stunt that is thrown his way, but sometimes he also needs to get by a little help by his stuntman. In his case, his stunt double is actually a part of his family, his cousin Tanoai Reed is always there for him and it helps immensely that both of them look like twins for real. I'd like to wish the most realist, down to earth, humble, talented ( and almost as handsome as me), brother from another mother, my Uce Deuce Dwayne "DJ" @therock Johnson a very happy and blessed 45th birthday! I hope I look as good as you when I turn 45 in a year and a halfð. Thank you for being a great example not only to myself, but to all of the Polynesian youth, as well as every youth, woman and grown ass man from all over the world! ðð½May the good Lord bless you with many more happy years to keep inspiring and sharing your Mana with the world! ððªð½ðð¤ð½ A post shared by Tanoai Reed (@samoanstuntman) on May 2, 2017 at 9:59am PDT Tanoai has been The Rock's stunt double for almost his entire movie career and I'm sure The Rock has always been very appreciative of him for making his kickass movies even better. But, yesterday, The Rock posted a video on his Instagram presenting his cousin with a special gift and it's the purest thing ever. Johnson had tricked Tanoai into thinking they were just filming a regular behind the scenes video but then revealed his surprise gift – a custom black pickup truck. SURPRISE! I love handing over keysðð I love you brother and enjoy your new truck! Over the course of my career, my stunt double (and cousin) Tanoai Reed @samoanstuntman has broken multiple bones, severed tendons, torn ligaments & just been an overall dominating bad ass achieving several “Stuntman of the Year” honors. All done with one goal in mind - deliver the best movie possible to the world. I had this custom pick up truck delivered just in time to surprise him (he's still recovering from a stunt injury) while we give what he thought was going to be an interview about our careers together. As you'll see the moment I put my hands on my hips, that's the drivers cue to pull away and reveal the big surprise. Not only does Tanoai represent our family and my career with relentless commitment and passion. He also represents an entire Hollywood stunt community that is truly the backbone of our business. Love you uso and thank you for the blood, sweat, tears and years. We're just getting started. Enjoy your new truck! #LetsRoll ð¤ð¾ A post shared by therock (@therock) on Jul 30, 2018 at 4:55am PDT “[Tanoai] has broken multiple bones, severed tendons, torn ligaments, and just been an overall dominating bad ass,” The Rock wrote on Instagram. “All done with one goal in mind – deliver the best movie possible in the world.” He was obviously very moved by this amazing gesture and shared pictures saying he was 'Blessed beyond belief'. Some awesome photos that brother @hhgarcia41 took of this amazing and beautiful surprise. Thank you for capturing this ðð½ #blessedbeyondbelief A post shared by Tanoai Reed (@samoanstuntman) on Jul 30, 2018 at 9:47am PDT

Approaching a woman at a party or a club can be tricky. How do you go about it, what do you say to her that is flirty enough but doesn't come across as creepy. In the sea of single dudes and crappy pickup lines, how do you stand out? One approach is to just go up straight and begin with a simple hi, followed by a boring 'What do you do, what music do you like' and then lose her attention for the rest of the evening, because who comes to a party to talk about the mundane?! You've got to up the game, you've got to strike up a conversation that catches her off-guard. We collected a bunch of cool pickup lines off the crazy peeps on the internet to break the ice. They will help you kick-start an interesting conversation and get you in the game. Nothing makes for a more interesting conversation starter than a naughty pickup line. 1.
