I'm working on a thing to resolve links to URL shorteners, including the case of a shortened URL pointing to another shortened URL. Just grabbed, pretty much at random, a link from Twitter (which uses its own t.co shortened URLs) which resolved to the BBC's URL shortener (bbc.in), assuming that the latter would finally point to bbc.co.uk. Nope; there's another redirect hidden in there before you finally get to the page you actually wanted (trib.al, which is used by a lot of media companies, presumably for tracking clicks)

There used to be a really good butcher's shop just by there in the 1980s. I lived on the opposite side of the city at the time but would sometimes go all the way there specially.
The local paper has a reporter at the scene of the explosion providing updates. I know him well, and can guarantee he's desperately hoping he gets stood down soon so he doesn't miss last orders - he lives locally, and the pub's only a few minutes walk from the scene
