*much shouting at the boxing, huge excitement over a potential battle of Britain* My pedantic head: technically you live on the Isle of Man now though.

Football is truly the master of building your hopes up and then breaking your heart.

Tired: Replacement bus service Wired: Replacement railway station service

The latest on that Glasgow Central situation here. I wouldn’t assume everything will be back to normal and all lovely by Monday given the work needed… www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Pro-tip if you normally travel from Glasgow Central high level and you’re thinking “I’ll just go to Motherwell, it stops there normally…” Just double-check, because I’ve seen at least one train leave from Edinburgh instead.

And now we go live to my head as I try to work out how to get to and from Salford on a weekly basis.

There’s a live page here on the absolutely massive fire near Glasgow Central train station. In terms of practical travel news, the station is shut and closed “until further notice”. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cd...

Might be worth Bluesky using slightly more neutral language in its version of the trending section …

Didn’t realise Czechia had seen the Midlands’ finest soap, fair play.

The Lowland League in Scotland suddenly threatening to get very interesting again…

The Eurovision juries clearly have to reward this if performed to this standard live. If the public get behind it … well, I’m seeing a distinct lack of contenders this year. m.youtube.com/watch?v=ujoC...

Following in the footsteps of Flo Rida, it appears Boy George is now going to represent San Marino at Eurovision. Both appearing alongside Senhit, who must just open her contact book at a random page each year.

unfortunately I lost it at this extremely stupid New Yorker cartoon

There are calculated reasons to take a risk at Eurovision. The song that finishes last is often not the worst one, it’s the one no-one notices. If loads of people hate your song but enough people love it, they’ll vote. All on the stage performance for me, this one.

Safe to say the UK Eurovision entry is very different to anything its ever sent before - and there had been a lot of calls for that sort of approach. Also safe to say it’s impossible to say how this one will do until we see it on stage.

Good news: the joy of Scottish Twitter appear to be alive and well. Bad news: it seems to have shifted over to TikTok. Which is a bit of a pain for those of us just used to tapping out our thoughts versus filming a full video, but hey ho.

Almost time for the UK Eurovision song. No pressure.

The Manchester United streak is over.

Well, there have long been calls for the UK to take a risk at Eurovision. Definitely feels like the approach this year.

Not saying I watched too much Sanremo, but the new Apple clock design looks familiar.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is dead, Iranian state media reports.

In Eurovision, nothing says winner like a violin. Trust us - bring a violin. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bfw...

Look, I know this’ll be an Italian word or something but it’s unfortunate it looks like “Worst Security”. #Sanremo

Sanremo out of context

Due to a child refusing to sleep, I’m joining Sanremo two hours late and catching up. I imagine once I’ve got past all the talky bits, random comedy and adverts I’ll be back with you in half an hour.

Famously/infamously. m.youtube.com/watch?v=P6T3...

Imagine Gogglebox watching Sanremo.

As someone who supports a team that has had seasons like Wolves, I know they’ll be celebrating that one win as if they won the league. Good on them.

Of all the songs to appear on Sanremo covers night, The Riddle. I mean, I don’t hate it, just feels very random.

Sidebar: amid all the talk about whether the UK should have a show to pick its Eurovision entry, we’ve been looking at this the wrong way. Any show which is designed with that as the only concern is never going to be that big.

F***ING YES #sanremo

Me to son: Would you like to watch Sanremo? It’s covers night. Son: Numberblocks? Me: Allora.

I genuinely love that Geri Halliwell is attempting a mini-Brits performance here. #TOTP

Lest we forget the time a mix-up in this show preview utterly confused Eurovision fans.

As Sanremo celebrity guest appearances go it’s not as good as Lewis Capaldi confusing the entire audience by going on about Celtic, but it’s up there.

ALLORA #Sanremo #Sanremo2026

Alicia Keys playing a malfunctioning piano as the host cuts to a panicked ad break is peak Italian TV and Sanremo, no notes.

This is peak Sanremo.

It’s Alicia Keys on Italian telly. God alone only knows what she makes of all this. #Sanremo #Sanremo2026

The second best saxophone player in Italy after this guy. m.youtube.com/watch?v=SaH7... #Sanremo #Sanremo2026

eh Sanremo eh Sanremo eh Sanremo *clap clap*

Sad news about Rob Grant. Tangential to his writing I know, but I could never get over the opening titles of the early series of Red Dwarf, their epic loneliness – what a way to start a sitcom youtu.be/HrNLLvAokO8?...

Allora indeed. #Sanremo #Sanremo2026

WAIT I CAN UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING, I’VE LEARNED ITALIAN oh #Sanremo

As someone who just had an ankle injury flare up again and catastrophically decked it last night, those stairs are giving me the fear. #Sanremo

San Marino doing San Marino things when it comes to Eurovision again, I see.
