We can all agree that I'd look fantastic on a Β£5 note
I love amateur snooker. At the European Championships there were two matches ending just about 30 minutes apart. The score of the final frame of one of them was 87-84, the score of the decider of the other one was 35-4.
Iβm thinking about starting a British version of the NYT connections puzzle designed to be unsolvable by Americans. Sample row: England players who missed a penalty.
Itβs a genuine mystery to me that there isnβt one in every household, for the reason you so accurately set out.

15 years ago today I arrived on Downing Street in a cage.
I've seen off Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss and Sunak and I'm still going strong.
Only two Prime Ministers have ever done longer stints here: William Pitt the Younger and Sir Robert Walpole.
Bill and Bob - I'm coming for you...

Having read A Dance to the Music of Time when fresh out of university, Iβm contemplating another run through. Has anyone read it at different stages of their life and found it resonating differently?
I re-read it last year (in my late 50s, 25 years on), inspired by @shedworking.bsky.social who led us in a book-a-month read-through, documented in 12 columns his excellent Substack open.substack.com/pub/thewriti.... A very different experience second time round, but strongly recommended.

Happy Radio Day to all those who celebrate.
Hubert Parry described Bach's Mass in B Minor as "the mightiest choral work ever written". We're very much looking forward to performing it on Saturday 28 March at St Albans Cathedral with Sinfonia Verdi.

Loved it. Excellent selection of paintings of where I was born and grew up - thank you
The media should cover sport the way they cover the state murder of civilians:
