I want to know what the 21 stands for.

In Spanish teams it means they are usually not considered to be the leading player for their position. This doesn't always ring true as rotation happens and some players like to stick with certain numbers. It would generally be a midfielder position either defensive or centre mid. In the Premier League it means very little.

My gps told me that it would take an hour to drive to my destination. Got there in 30 minutes. Not sure if I have a lead foot or a crappy gps haha.

Actual GPS or phone app? My Google Maps app measures traffic as well as time, so anything over a half hour in no traffic ends up totally variable as far as estimates go.

20 minutes ago 21:50 'ish UK time we had two sonic booms as a Quick Reaction Alert (QRA) Typhoon from RAF Conninsgy legged it overhead. Speculation as training or heading to a commercial airliner over Newcastle. Facts thin on the ground at the moment.

Turned out to be a couple of Typhoon jets escorting an off course airliner into Newcastle airport. More details to follow.
