My little dog keeps biting on my guitar pedal. Well, he is a chewwahwah.

Even better than my idea of changing the national Anthem to the Macarena so that England players would have to do the dance before a game.

I'd never use it, that's for sure.

It's the assumption that somehow, us larger people have never heard of diet or exercise. Of course we have. But getting out of habits and into new ones isn't always as easy as people think.

If it's to Reading you probably need one.

Intrarailing, perhaps.

Also Fulham, Charlton, Palcae in 04/05. Lazy reporting.

That Wrexham VAR decision can fuck right off. At a corner defenders have every opportunity to get in place, it's hardly an unfair advantage. Letter of the law perhaps, but it's a shit alphabet.

Iran will be run by a different guest Ayatollah every week, but somehow every third week it will be Alexander Armstrong.

No-one's happier than me that Jos is in double digits. Except perhaps his wife, and some of her friends. Oh yes, and Captain Johnson. #EngVInd

If there was ever a moment for Jos to prove his doubters wrong...

Really quite something that Farage spent 4 days whining and making wild unfounded accusations of election fraud, then completely skips the commons debate on the elections bill.

Obvious ai manipulation on the left. Original photo by David Batcheller on the right. Look at the wings, feather shape, head, neck and bill shape, lack of tail etc. This is way more than a filter and absolutely destroys the joy and wonder of the original.

So loads of people are sharing an obvious ai "glow up" of an actual photo. I never share ai stuff even to dunk, but in this case I'm sharing a comparison to show the problem. We have to stand against this slop at every level or it becomes normalised. They want us to stop caring. See alt text.

I remember them having to do this with Setanta Sports because of all the people who thought it was Santana Sports.

Middlesbrough FC's attackers have been doing this for several seasons.

Fare dodgers targeted as train ticket refund rules are tightened In a bid to clamp down on ticket fraud that costs the railways millions each year, the government has quietly changed the rules on claiming refunds for unused train tickets.

DON'T BUY TRAIN TICKETS IN ADVANCE!
On 1 April, the government is quietly changing the rules.
Off-Peak & Anytime tickets become non-refundable after 23:59 the day BEFORE you travel.
If you wake up & find your event cancelled, NO REFUNDS, even on Β£100+ tickets.

For many it's to catch a connection on to somewhere that's not an awful, repressive regime.

They want $60 for an hour at the axe throwing place? For that money I can buy a case of beer and my own axe, and throw it at whatever I want until I'm arrested again

Was hoping for a Buttler return to form today, with no pressure to win today. Feels like a final indignity though.
