Wait till they check up on oil rigs, which are way bigger, more obtrusive and surely offer way worse interference. This could have serious consequences for - off, who am I kidding? They’re just cunts.

RIP Chris Rea. No more ‘driving home for Christmas’ and hopefully not in the ‘Road to Hell’. Was brilliant on Gone Fishing a while back. Thoughts with his family x

Crumb on Marjorie Taylor Greene: “The most low-level, sleazy, opportunistic politics of playing on the ignorance of her constituency, which is some remote mountain county of Georgia.” More: www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

Today’s only fixtures in the FAWNL south. Lewes FC women have the afternoon off.

COYR!!!! Late late winner as Khaan Bennett seals the points for the Rooks deep into added time #COYR FT 1-0

Rooks all square with Welling at the break #COYR

Jofra Archer has more batting #Ashes half centuries than Ollie Pope. His current average, 33, is second highest on this tour, behind Joe Root.

This is called ‘Twenty Modern-Day Proverbs’.

Even by my low expectations for Kemi Badenoch ‘violence against women and girls is something done by immigrants and nobody else’ has shocked me.

FIFA filling their golden boots for the 2026 Men's World Cup in Trumpland. Tickets to tournament fan zones have always been free. Ticketmaster is currently listing tickets for the New York fan zone for $12.50 per session. It's like the Wild West all over again.

For followers of women's football, here's a useful UEFA WCL draw thread.

With a wave of political predictions coming our way at the turn of the year, a reminder of how cautiously many should be treated...

Morning #Glynde

Bizarre from BBC Sport, re an interview given to Portuguese media ‘some weeks ago’. You have to wonder, what’s the point of running this now? www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

@pamnashes.bsky.social Here it is x.com/DittiePE/sta...

Well that was a fun game of football. Anyone got a defibrillator?

I just read this in another thread. I’d not seen it before. It’s worthy of the good Doctor HS Thompson himself 🙌🏻

Rob Reiner's run of films 1986-1992. A remarkable body of work, including two excellent Stephen King stories and the best big screen fairy-tale ever told ❤️

The news of Rob Reiner and his wife murdered in their LA home has hit a raw nerve. In the midst of so much horror in the world, the loss of such a sweet, funny soul feels unbearable.

Shocked by the awful death of Rob Reiner. I spoke with him for over an hour last night. We talked about his work and his plans for the future. I always enjoyed his company. We met at his Dad's in 1975. Last thing he said to me was "See you next year.." Such a terrible end. Such a sweet man.

Interesting article here about whether AI should pay taxes if it's replacing human jobs, to cover the losses in income tax/increases in welfare. Big problem: how on Earth do you attribute such taxes fairly? It's not like AI has a headcount. english.elpais.com/technology/2...

Game finishes 1-0 Palace. The Cup run is over, but great effort from the girls. 👏

Nice to be able to screenshot the top half of the table to show the Lewes position after the late show at Dulwich Hamlet #COYR

Wolves v Forest @adobewomensfacup.bsky.social a good contest now. Wolves pulled a goal back early in part two to make it 1-2. Why is there barely anyone at the game? What’s happened to attendances at women’s football his season? Is it simply that men’s EPL is on?

Good luck to the lads up at Dulwich today. And the Supporters on their Christmas do! No comms from here today so keep it official for scores etc.

Lewes Food Banks Collection has a few gaps Saturday afternoon if anyone has an hour to spare.

My Perfect Cousin by the undertones is a remarkable piece of work. Whoever came up with ‘He always beat me at Subbuteo 'Cause he "flicked to kick" And I didn't know’ deserves some kind of award 🙌🏻

We should all take a huge gulp of air and hold it until this is resolved. Or disappears entirely. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

A footballer from Weston-super-Mare, who have just made the third round of the FA cup for the first time, is on five live doing an interview. Note to editors: don’t interview non-league footballers on the radio; they will literally say the same thing over and over and over again until your ears die

You need this in your life!! Pathos, humanity, tragedy and comedy. Lucky enough to attend this edition in person (our 2nd time at the show). We left with sides aching and empty tear ducts. Brilliant.

You sense there may be a change of heart. If not, a small orange hand may get involved. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Apologies for earlier error. Here is the correct FAWNL South table (as posted tonight by the FAWNL). Rooks up to 7th #COYR

RIP Martin Parr. I worked with him once on a story about the NHS. I interviewed and he photographed Britain's busiest and least busy GP. I think he was brilliant and this is one of my favorites of his.

Rooks beat Watford 3-2 away to rise to 8th in the league. Tight in the division: 6 points separate 4th from 11th spot.

Rooks line-up v Watford this afternoon #COYR

What some of these England players are doing is like Sean Murphy smashing into the pack of reds after the break in every match. It’s brainless #theAshes

I live in Wales and today received my Join Us letter from Reform UK, complete with SAE which I posted back to them, immediately, empty. If every other person in Wales did this, Reform would spend over £1.5 million on postage. Not sorry. Join me Cymru.
