As if this simpleton knows what Sharia law is.

I'm looking forward to the Ryder Cup - not many of these are now available.

Why would they need to publicise this event?

RIP Dicky Bird - a master of his trade and cricketing icon.

NFL - Bears v Dallas - nobody likes to see this; well, practically nobody.

Interesting that the ultra-left crowd at The Last Night of the Proms chose to wave so many EU flags - bastards.

Er..........

Dorries joins Reform - 'I'm shocked to the core' said nobody, ever.

Via Full Fact -

Polling from @Moreincommon_ on Lucy Connolly More than half think her sentence was too lenient or about right. Only a third that it was too harsh. Only 18% think politicians should associate themselves her, while 51% think they should actively distance themselves from her.

“There have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of evil people too. But rarely has stupidity been so evil, and rarely has evil been so stupid. He makes Nixon seem trustworthy and George W. seem intelligent.” It’s a point well-made. www.linkedin.com/posts/bernar...

Holiday time.

Stupidity can be costly....

A new cricket stat for you.....

I've always liked South Park.

Someone just sent me this. youtube.com/shorts/d4gMk...

Congratulations to England's Lionesses - very proud of you all.

England v India 4th Test - I can't understand England throwing away their last review on that decision, especially with this pair of umpires.

In the excellent docuseries, Tour de France Unchained, Ben O'Connor was brave enough to show his strengths and weaknesses. I'm so pleased that he won the monumental queen stage of the tour today.

Diversion from Epstein files no.113.

I'm glad I didn't know about the rule of not replacing clubs broken in anger on my, very occasional, rounds of golf.

In case you missed this.

Very good......

Any thoughts on this? Please don't be abusive. I sincerely hope it is not so.

Tadej Pogačar - I'm struggling to think of a more dominant athlete at the moment.

Not entirely inaccurate.

I'm up in Halifax for the funeral tomorrow of one of my oldest school friends, who was 5 x the player I was but didn't get the breaks. We loved this pub.

Exactly Liz, nothing represents 'our national culture' more than Greek statues made in Greece by Greeks.

Anzac XV - nice idea but never going to work in practice.

Jaws@50 on National Geographic now. It's difficult to accept that it is half a century since it played.

Surely not?

England v India 3rd Test - in its proper context, that 50 for Brydon Carse is outstanding.

The #RedforRuth piece that Sky Sports have just broadcast was superb. 'Hope for the smallest thing' is a fantastic message.

We won that one.

It can't long before Truss joins as a candidate.

🚨BREAKING: In a completely embarrassing moment, Donald Trump told the Liberian President “you speak such beautiful English…where did you learn to speak so beautifully” - even though English is the NATIONAL LANGUAGE OF LIBERIA. The world is watching America humiliate itself. 🤡

Interesting conversation with one of my 8-year-old daughters - Me - 'What's that you're doing?' Her ' nania' Me - ' don't you mean Narnia?' Her ' No, nania, as in nania business.'

In this week's Private Eye.
