"Hydration break" - what nonsense. No-one in the entire world thinks that this unnecessary interruption to normal play has anything to do with the well-being of the players. Its only purpose is to give the TV companies time to sell advertising. Commentators should call it what it is - an ad break.

Nigel Farage is a blowfly. He smells a death, and goes and lays eggs in it.

Poetry quoted with every line centred rather than set out as in the original is an abomination, carried out by barbarians.

Moving people out of the way, destroying their homes, and putting up trashy casinos and cheap housing instead - that's not fascism. It's just development, and he's been doing it all his life.

Good morning world - hello sky hello clouds - after several days of confusion I think I'm here at last. Philip Pullman talking. I hope I'll be able to continue.
