Not sure going to the TMO with ‘the player is adamant they scored, so we’d better check it’ is cracking refereeing tbh

Wow! What a breakthrough moment for these women. #WRWC2025 #RWC2025 #RUGBY

How it started [Hope] vs How it’s going [FFS]

Yeah I support ID CARDS: I f it’s D anny John Jules C hris Barrie A nd Craig Charles in R ed D warf and the man from S crapheap challenge 😎

We are having a hefty sports Saturday in the flat today.

“Are you paying attention yet?!” Yes. Everyone on here is. To everything. All the time. No rest. Only attention.

Incredible. 10/10, no notes

‘Not only did he steal my bath towels and shower curtain, he also somehow managed to…’

Reading all of the comments this week from European Ryder Cup fans complaining about the ‘brash, obnoxious Yanks’.

"A technical error" meaning a critical failure in following the rule of law. Whoopsie-doodle: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Cracking Ryder Cup lucky dip at Ladbrokes. Reckon it's only slightly more likely to happen than Rory McIlroy hitting a hole-in-one with an inflatable club that bounced out of the crowd.

+ AS SEEN ON 'TASKMASTER' + I've had to keep this quiet for the last few months but really chuffed to finally see our 'Lonely Water' sign appear on @taskmaster.tv this evening, offered up as a prize by Reece Shearsmith. New restocks in the shop including a smaller A4 version. www.hiddenbritain.co.uk

This isn't my main concern about it by any means, but given how much of a lengthy pain it can be to simply get a passport renewed in this country, never mind issued, I can see this being an utter ball-ache for anyone not on the diplomacy fast-track.

Not only is this pretty uninspired fare, I also doubt that those three mascots would be firm friends in real life. Has the full energy of a band who hate each other and spend all of their off-stage, non-PR time in their own dressing rooms.

One of the worst parts of being a sports fan in a sports betting country is growing to genuinely despise sports betting adverts. “HE’S NOT MATCH FIIIITTT!!!” I hope that character’s parachute failed.

That amended figure is something else.

My mood at having to wait for the Celtic game to finish before I can start work is not being helped by how pump the game is on all levels, including the officials just giving a goal kick for a shot which must have deflected ten yards off of a defender. And not in a crowded area.

I looked at that list of the 1000 Bluesky accounts with the most "engagement" and I am BEGGING you people to develop interests other than electoral politics.

I don't speak the language - I believe it's Swedish - but I reckon I fully agree with "fucka moralsk kompass"

There is not one comedian on the Riyadh Comedy Festival line-up where I went 'Wow. Surprised they're doing it.' But not needing the money, knowingly signing up for a human rights whitewashing exercise, and doing a show with Louis C.K.? That's some prime Jimmy Carr. www.visitsaudi.com/en/riyadh/ev...

I’d have preferred a stronger headline. Something like Daily Mail Issues Retraction Over False Dua Lipa Allegations. Something which doesn’t suggest there might be truth in it. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I think I preferred the Bob Monkhouse version.

Takes a fair effort to make me squeal in horror while skipping through the radio stations these days, so I guess congratulations are in order for Magic.

Ireland just released a report showing the huge success of the unconditional basic income it provided to artists. Each $1 spent led to society gaining $1.39. Artists' earned incomes went up more than their side job incomes fell. And they were happier and used less welfare www.gov.ie/en/departmen...

Happy Bisexual Visibility Day to all the bisexuals who did not get raptured.

I know the ‘smart play’ is to go down at the 1yd line, but I still much prefer seeing a guy score a TD. Heck, make them score the 14pts to tie.

Feels so odd to see Lamar Jackson tackled for short gains or sacked this much. Forget that he’s not a literal superhuman 😅

NFL TV broadcasts on pretty much every play: ‘We’ve got 16 angles on this. We can see the dimples on the ball. We could pinpoint that ball to the millimetre if we wanted.’ NFL TV broadcasts on FGs and XPs: ‘Ahh, it’s probably good. Here’s a second look from the worst seat in the corner. Yeah, cool’

It's a little model light-up...pet...bookstore...greenhouse...thing.

A guy on tik tok onside kicks into random things

For someone whose life has supposedly been continuously touched, enriched and shaped by gold, Elton John sure seems desperate for cash.

0.4% of Hue players are busy people with busy lives. No time for a 90 second scroll of beautifully soundtracked acknowledgements.

Just got a message from my utilities supplier, who seem surprised that they’ve been unable to obtain data from our Smart Meter this week. Given that it’s never worked in the seven years since it was installed, I’m not sure where this amazement is coming from.

Harrison Butker, the back-to-the-kitchen, women! Chiefs kicker developing a version of the yips where he keeps missing chipshot kicks far to the right, is one of the funnier developments of this year. Six mandatory workplace DEI workshops will fix this.

It's literally his dad, Deadline. It's not he's some random indie director.

I only get to post this once a year! 😀 "Do you remember The 21st night of September? Love was changin' the minds of pretenders While chasin' the clouds away.... Ba-dee-ya, say, do you remember? Ba-dee-ya, dancin' in September Ba-dee-ya, never was a cloudy day!" www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gs06...

Got to agree with the replies - put the photos in spectral order, or don’t bring it up 😃

Well, that changes everything. We simply can’t have missed calls or wilfully ignored infringements in the NFL. The very idea!

Forgot to say during the race, but I’d happily take the Harry, Karun, Bernie and Ted coverage team for most F1 races. Solid balance of intelligent commentary, coverage, insight and banter.

An embarrassingly packed opening paragraph for a league which only has six games per weekend.

I’m the idiot who believes the F1 commentators every race when they say that things are about to get interesting very soon. The passes are coming. The rain is coming. Jam in five laps.

Fewer tracks, fewer cups, and even lazier items than the first game? Sounds more like Garfield Kart 2: All You Can Grift! (gottem) Will give my actual thoughts on the game when I download it for £1.29 in 2027.

You know what? Decent laugh, that.

Every time I see a listing or advert for Tron: Ares, I think of the Fast Show ERAS Video logo.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a less intimidating slogan emblazoned on a flag than “Annan On Tour”. Nobody’s terrified at the prospect of Annan rising up, lads.

I know that the commentary in this England v France game is tilted towards the new audience they know they’ll be picking up from the home team being in the WC semi-final, and that’s admirable, but sometimes the explanations clash with the referee’s decision, and then that’s just glossed over.

Gabby Logan managing to briefly draw me into the England build-up by pointing out the flats behind Ashton Gate which were used in Only Fools And Horses.
