What a tune

Class scenes in the Ireland game, that's real football

The correct answer was £3.20 making the winner, with the closest guess, @jaymc.bsky.social who guessed £3.25. Well done!

RIP Gilson Lavis

21. I would say that I appreciate the value of this book more so than how much I actually enjoyed it. What Rulfo done well was create an unsettling, bleak and powerful atmosphere, fitting for a book that deals with the afterlife, although I also found it disjointed and very weird

Got a new 5K PR breaking my previous one by precisely 1 second. It all counts

9 mile run done, probably the furthest I've ran since 2012. Send help

20. A fascinating read and look into an album that's been one of my favourites for over 20 years. Despite being such a big fan of the album I didn't know much about the context of the lyrics and this book puts the turmoil of late 1970s San Francisco into perspective brilliantly

In this week’s column for the Nerve, Stewart Lee wonders how all these rightwing astroturfers get on the telly and radio. Doesn’t anyone Google them first? 🤔

Imagine if it turns out that Phil Neville is really into studying Mao Zedong but he just keeps quiet about it

Why is Thom Yorke so concerned with having a perfect body anyways, is he planning on going on Love Island or something

If Israel's international football team aren't banned from playing in international competitions then why are Russia's still banned? I would say what's the difference but that wouldn't even work as it's obvious which one is actually worse
