Wildfires burn in Wales and England as environment officials warn of ‘exceptional risk’

Commentator on the England game the other night said Jude Bellingham was "worth his weight in gold". Assuming he is around 75kg, that's around £10m. Not really close to his value. He should have said "worth his weight in crystalline osmium" - £200m.

A bazillion Brazilians go

The volume of Jude Bellingham thirst trap posting and yaoi on here has gone up but I am sure everyone can do better, particularly the Brazilians Even a broken arm can’t tear Henderson away from the England camp and his good friend

This is genuinely such a shame

I just learned: WCIR-FM in Beckley, WV, where I was a DJ from 1989-1992, was one of the first two stations in the country to add Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart."
