Sounds about right.

Yep.

Just in case you'd any doubts . . .

Poor Jack...

Just what the world needs.

England (and allegedly Wales) just do not know how to play at the Gabba. Last time they won there was the year I went to see Queen at Slane. Nearly 40 years ago. Baggy Greens are doing very well indeed for a team that’s apparently “ordinary” 🇦🇺 #TheAshes #AUSvENG

Oh ffs. Seriously now.

Got sent this and it cheered me up. Darth Meaney.

To hell with Infantino, FIFA and that murderous, treasonous, felonious, five-times-draft-dodging, morally bankrupt serial bankrupt, charlatan Trump. I will not watch one second of that disgustingly hijacked World Cup, even if we qualified for it. It’s the orange shitgibbon’s Berlin Olympics.

Another nail in the coffin of cinema.

I’m sure none of this has anything with his parents’ own wishes and aspirations. No sirreebob.

This wally is currently amongst the bloated plethora of junket scribblers from the Telegraph in Brisbane. A South African - who opened the bowling with a West Indian - has just taken two crucial wickets for England (and allegedly Wales). Will he whinge? Will he even know what’s going on?

“Catchiz win matchiz” What a catch to get Smith by Jacks, the fecker.

Having to take my last days of annual leave at a time when the Ashes is on. And not just that, but it’s a D/N test too. Sweet 💪 England (and allegedly Wales) finding the going tough out there. Can’t seem to find length and are missing Wood hugely. Baggy Greens look well comfortable on crease.

Happy Merkinball Day! 30 years ago, the Mirror Ball sessions with Pearl Jam (and Brendan O’Brien) joining Neil Young gave us Mirror Ball earlier in the year (and an amazing tour to boot) and this double A-side of ‘I Got Id’ and ‘The Long Road’. Without Mirror Ball, Pearl Jam would have split up.

My Sp*tify Wrap is ‘Mind Your Own Business, Daniel Ek, You Musically Tone-Deaf Leech’ by Justin Deegan.

The construction sector will never care unless there are penalties for this.

Steve Cropper passed away today apparently. RIP Maestro ❤️

Again, brave words from a treasonous, felonious, murderous and cretinous coward who not only dodged the draft 5 times, but surrendered to the Taliban.

To quote Eddie Vedder: “The haves have not a fucking clue”

Yes, we got smashed at scrumtime. Doesn't mean there's something wrong with the game. Penalties against teams losing out in a scrum are primarily safety-based. You can't just wave an advancing scrum that collapses on. Once you've engaged in the front-row at any decent level, you'll understand that.

‘Rubber Soul’ is 60 years old today. This was The Beatles ‘post-Dylan’. The time they really kicked on. The eclectic list of songs testament to just how much they had developed as a band. An incredible album. How could they possibly top it…? ❤️

When to just shut up and keep to yourself. Imagine blurting this out in public about a former teammate. Derek Pringle on the late Robin Smith who sadly died the other night. “Everyone loved him but maybe that caused him to sabotage the relationships that mattered most - RIP mate”. Godawful.

Remember this? Cunk on Bruegel. Diane Morgan is a genius ♥️

This is why coaches should be in the coaches box and nowhere near the TZ.

Why is this murderous, treasonous regime of evil charlatans only doing this at sea? Why not in airspace? Or along the border on land? Because it is a series of bloodthirsty PR stunts. Much easier than hitting the factories where the drugs are made themselves. They know where they are and do zilch.

At last, someone of Rossy’s vintage and nous is asked the right questions instead of the melodramatic bilge that usually emanates from the scribblers across the ditch instead of here, like ‘we got smashed so the game is broken/ref was rubbish’.

Great ad from the Astor in Melbourne 👏😆

One of the greatest sequels ever made, in my opinion, was ‘A Shot In The Dark’. Only a director like Blake Edwards could have followed up ‘The Pink Panther’ with something even better like this. The opening scene alone is just genius. So well choreographed ❤️ youtu.be/NC_s4gyIqag?...

George Harrison is 24 years gone today. A poignant recollection from Sir Paul. I have to say it was a beautiful surprise to hear ‘Beware of Darkness’ at the start of the movie, ‘Weapons’. George was a wonderful songwriter in his own right, not just as a Beatle ❤️ music.apple.com/ie/album/bew...

It’s amazing how many mistakes and costly errors in a team’s performance you can spot better if you stop harping on about the fucking match officials.

Jesus, the felonious, treasonous, murderous, draft-dodging, morally bankrupt serial bankrupt, Trump, called Tim Walz "seriously retarded". What a fucking slap I'd give anyone using that word in front of me.

Nice to start the day with a positive. Missed Uncle Neil at Malahide Castle this year so I’m looking forward to this. And my return to Muzzer too ❤️

In many ways, I hope we DO NOT qualify for next year’s World Cup. Not so long as this abject racist cretin and his murderous, treacherous regime is in situ.

All Afghans who fled to the US are now this murderous, treasonous regime's modern-day Herschel Grynszpan. Trump's surrender to the Taliban in 2020 is where this originates.

Now this is great news. These guys are genuine prospects.

This idea of Builders Conscription made me think it was WWN or The Onion or something. Nope. It’s real. Sent in by a Sheila Deegan. Can I please point out that Sheila there is no relation. At all. Whatsoever. Not even close.

Sure sure…

When this murderous, treasonous, evil regime does go under, it’s the likes of her who’ll be the first to play innocent and (aptly) say they were only following orders.

Variety was always dross on paper but here are 100 other reasons to firmly keep it in the u-bend where it belongs. The ranking is funnier than most of the movies on the list.

A movie that takes place where you’re from? ‘Barry Lyndon’ filmed at Carton House, and ‘The Big Red One’ filmed at Castletown House.

Yesterday’s game was bananas. Even more so than NSW v B&I Lions in 2001. I’d say the TZ was great fun. Would have loved to have done it.

Was asked what I thought of all the ref knocking of late. Now way worse. Media outlets with way too many rugby pundits, bloggers, podders, social media posters etc all desperate for clicks/impressions, will post such bilge to bump visibility. 1/2

I use Zuckerbook for keeping in touch with family etc. Timeline goes mental from time to time. Yesterday more than most. Endless post of Sth African rugby experts trying to be funny and far from magnanimous. There’s a reason there are no famous comedians from there (yes, particularly Trevor Noah).

Middle session on day 3 of the first Ashes test in Perth.

A slow-drive protest like doing 80kph in a 100kph zone? Gotta keep that clock rollin’.

Travis Head wondering just what the f**k he’s going to do for the remaining three days of the first Ashes test.

Anyone getting wound up by this needs to check themselves for overly thin skin.
