We're excited to announce that Doncaster has been chosen as the location for a British remake of Friends.
So no one told you life was gonna be this way.

Your seat's got mould,

You're cold.

You're in an alleywaaaay
For rights reasons, and to avoid legal action from @DavidSchwimmer and @MatthewPerry, the British remake of Friends will centre around the Gunther character, as he tours around Doncaster picking up fly-tipping for the #ThisisMyDoncaster campaign.

We're all very excited.

After his wife passed away, this man single-handedly carved a tunnel through a mountain.

We think we can all learn something from his incredible story.

It’s time for another #coronavirus-related history lesson from Doncaster Council.
This amazing person was called Dasrath Manjhi.

Born in India, he was a labourer from the village of Gehlaur.
In 1959, Manjhi's wife Falguni Devi was injured after falling from a narrow ridge on a nearby mountain, trying to cross to the next village.

The mountain divided the two areas and meant that the nearest doctor was 55km away. She sadly died before Dasrath could get her there.

We feel like people could do with some good news to focus on this week, so what INCREDIBLE timing that today is #NationalSandwichDay.

Did you know about Doncaster Council’s little-known, incredible connection with the sandwich, though? Let us tell you more.
Can ANYONE honestly say they don’t love the humble sandwich? Whether meaty, fishy, cheesy or salad…y, you simply can’t go wrong.

Well, we're betting not many of you know that people across the world have Doncaster Council to thank in part for the creation of this staple dish.
Sadly, since the influx of Instagram influencers has made everyone TERRIFIED of carbohydrates, the sandwich has suffered a bit of a PR problem.

After today's #Woolworths drama, we have decided to capitalise on this wave of 90's nostalgia by announcing that we are bringing back Gladiators.

Doncaster will see events such as Hang Tough, Vertigo and Powerball, culminating in a gruelling Eliminator at the Mansion House.
(The UK media picked up on the unsubstantiated @UKWoolworths announcement today, so we're hoping they'll do the same here.

That way, we can trick them in to covering the actual stuff we want them to ⬇️)
As we prepare for the glorious return of Gladiators (sorting out Saracen's contract has taken a lot longer than expected) then why don't we, ohhh, I dunno...

Think about some of the ways to spend half term around Doncaster?

In 2017, a man running the London marathon showed some of the most incredible sportsmanship ever.

We think it’s a story we all need to hear, as we wait for today’s announcements about #coronavirus restrictions.
It was April 2017 when runner David Wyeth was running the London marathon.

Just 300 metres from the end, his race was run. His legs had turned to jelly, and he was at the point of collapse.
After 26 miles of gruelling effort, he had longed to see the finish line – but, having turned the final corner, the sight of the last 300m seemed too much to bear.

You think the last few months have been monotonous for YOU? Well, let us tell you a story.

It’s about a church in Germany that has been playing the same piece of music WITHOUT STOPPING for two decades.
#coronavirus #covid19
In 1987, composer John Cage wrote a piece of music –the catchingly titled ‘Organ² / ASLSP’ – and it contains an instruction that the piece should be played ‘as slowly as possible’.
Now, performances of the composition usually last around 70 minutes.

However, in the late 1990s, a mischievous group of incredibly-literal German people got together, and decided to play the piece PROPERLY.

From tomorrow, we’ll have to wear a face covering whenever we go into a shop.

Lately we’ve seen a lot of different methods for wearing a face covering.

Some great, some not so great.

So here are some notes on how NOT to wear one…

[THREAD] 👇
‘The Bruce Forsyth’

It’s NOT nice to see this, to see this nice.

If we’re wearing a face covering it needs to be over our mouth and nose; clearly just on the chin is too far south on the face map.
The ‘Bane’

Don’t be a ‘super-villain’ by only wearing the covering over your mouth and not including your nose.

The best available scientific evidence says face coverings may reduce the spread of droplets but this is only when used correctly and both nose AND mouth are covered.
