Well we might not be in the World Cup final today but at least there are still some other heartwarming stories around. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Wah wah wah fuck off. metro.co.uk/2026/07/18/a...

I wrote an academic paper and ran it through a plagiarism checker out of curiosity. 0% which is good, but it also told me the writing was flagged as 100% written by AI. What the fuck!? All I've ever used AI for was to make a funny Homer Simpson picture. So I'm fucked now, if the uni also checks it!?

I really thought we might win the World Cup. Not in an I wish daydream kind of way. I really thought we might. Cheers kids are crying now.

Fuck sake. 😔

Ooooh edgy mate.

Damn, what a shame for Egypt. Argentina have just about scraped through the last two rounds against significantly lower opposition. I reckon we can take them in the semis, assuming we beat Norway. England v France final...

Two British fighters, boxing in England, but the promoters want to schedule it in the middle of the night to cater to American viewers? Fuck off. How about we have it first thing in the morning and you watch it at 2am like we did last night? www.skysports.com/boxing/news/...

Right then, staff conference on 2.5 hours sleep... Let's goooo! 😴

Idea to make F1 more interesting: fastest in qualifying starts at the back, slowest at the front, and so on. Drivers would have to pinky promise they'll still try their best in qualifying. If the same drivers still kept winning races you could make them tow a caravan for 2 laps out of every 20.

Just watched Toy Story 5 and genuinely, I think it's the best one in the series. Perfectly captured the loss of imagination and playing with toys and the takeover of devices without being heavy handed. And it does what they all do best in lamenting that lost childhood you'll never get back. 🥲

The kids have lost all their footballs. They googled "how to make a football" and made something from a balloon, several layers of sellotape, paper and a carrier bag, and have spent the last hour playing with it in the garden... 😆

My eldest, who is not even 20 yet and has been driving slightly under two years, has just bought a 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX STi. 😫 I am equal parts jealous and terrified.

I don't know who's commentating on the first knockout game between South Africa and Canada but he might be the worst commentator I've ever heard. Just awful. Really grating with an irritating rising inflection at the end of every sentence.

"Cod and chips twice please, George. Salt and vinegar, yes please mate, thank you. Oh by the way, heard you were opening an off licence too, what you going to call it..?"

I see this 'trick' all over Instagram, YouTube, Facebook whatever. It does not work. It just doesn't. It's nonsense. It doesn't work! youtube.com/shorts/oKRcb...

Watching the football in the office as nobody else is in. What utter HORSESHIT is this!? Those dots on the playback bar? They're goals. What the fuck, BBC iPlayer? Who thought that was a good idea? The solution they offer - "don't interact with the playback bar". Ridiculous.

Fuck codes in boxes. Do not support this practice. I buy digital 90% of the time, but when you buy physical you want physical. Even a 'game key' disc is preferable to a code in a box. How they are getting away with this practice absolutely astounds me. kotaku.com/physical-cop...

Fuck off, you vapid cunt.

Tyson Fury confirms he's the despicable twat we all suspected he was. Ugh.

This is the most excited I have been about a band tour since Nine Inch Nails in 2005. Amazing. faroutmagazine.co.uk/faith-no-mor...

Did not expect to hear Pantera on the ITV World Cup coverage.

What is actually going on with the way Wayne Rooney is speaking on the BBC? Noticed in other games, too. It's like he's a foreign person speaking broken English. Reminds me of Steve McClaren speaking in a Dutch accent. youtu.be/xhtq1ObGHy8?...

Where the fuck are all the "To an average/a bit shit Dad" fathers day cards? He's not "worlds best dad", is there not a "Here, happy fathers day I guess, thanks for making me homeless at 16" card?

Hmm. Seems unlikely. #FC26

Trouble is with these skyscraper American stadiums the shadow covers almost the whole pitch and makes the picture too dark.

Catching up on last night's USA v Paraguay (half time so don't tell me the score!) I know Paraguay aren't an elite level team, but the Americans are looking pretty tasty in this match. Really nice moves, good passing, relentless attacking. They could do alright.

Crazy, man. Three reds in an opening World Cup game. I'd say only one of them was a clear red, too, and even then it looked accidental.

The biggest mistake in this article is calling Tommy Fury a professional boxer. He's done nothing but pantomime fights lately. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/boxing...

And all the other trees died of laughter.

Madueke spamming backheels like he's learnt a new skill move in FIFA. #ENGvCRC #ENGCRC

Nope. That's it. I'm out. I'm done with video games. Christ... www.youtube.com/live/PvUPDSD...

I can't believe we're in the year 2026 and TV programmes are still using the line where someone says "it's none of my business, but..." and then gives some advice, and then the other person says, "you're right. It's none of your business". Nobody in real life has ever said that.

Wait till the match is being played and turn the telly on? How's the BBC got a whole article out of this? 🤷

An hour of pure tedium. I don't know, maybe I'm just bored of games, but the only thing to excite me across the State Of Play, the Summer Games Fest presentation and this Xbox showcase has been Cuphead 2. Genuinely think I can't be bothered with new games any more. www.youtube.com/live/5ixDQYl...

Yes, they might be the lowest ranked team in the tournament, but a big win against New Zealand would be a good morale boost before the World Cup. Especially after the lackluster performance in the last round of friendlies. #ENGvNZL #ENGNZL

I watched Dear England on iPlayer. Southgate had enough (at times fair) criticism on the pitch, but what he did in bringing those mostly young players together as a team seems nothing short of revolutionary in football. Enjoyed watching this, anyway.

Mario Golf Advance Tour coming to the GBA Switch Online service.

Can't wait for the album. youtu.be/_ZhXWcdHqbw?...

Digital Eclipse have put out some of the all time great retro compilations. But huh. No idea what the thinking was behind this. Almost as bad as the recent Rugrats collection. 🥴

Immigration make Britain brilliant

Been waiting for this to hit a decent price to replay it. Won't deliver for a month but that's no bother.

What? Yes it is! That's your one job!

I thought these C64 and Spectrum handhelds from the Evercade guys looked cool, and you can add your own games. Nearly pre-ordered the C64 one but decided to bung a load of C64 games on to my Vita to give them a try first as I've not played them in decades. Yep, that's saved me a purchase.

Pretty sure every neutral in the land wants to see the Old Firm's hold on the SPL broken today, go on Hearts!

Absolute piss take. Five games added for May, and they're all Virtual Boy games. Utter horseshit move from Nintendo, here. www.eurogamer.net/nintendo-swi...

I've uploaded well over 100 videos to my YouTube account, and this is still the best one. youtube.com/shorts/Jf-f_...

Loving Animal Well. So many ah-ha moments, even items you pick up: "oooh, you can use it for that as well...!" It's excellent.
