Sport, boringly so. Motor racing, football, athletics, basketball, cricket, and so on. Also over on Substack.

Scottish Opera offers hugely discounted tickets to people under the age of 26. In fact most of the theatres here do, usually for around £10. Which means you could see a whole live show for less than the cost of a ticket to one of Timothee Chalamet’s films. Just saying.

Awwwwww poor little plucky Wrexham (and their financially doped efforts to climb out of non-league and beyond, spending unsustainably beyond their means once the botox-injected owners decide they want to move on).

So Joe Paterno gets excommunicated from college football for covering up child-rape and all these college coaches are now cozying up to President Epstein Island. Bootlicking hypocrites.

Is it a live race? Completely out of touch with Indycar due to my rational dislike of will buxton.

I now wish I had paid more attention over the past 40-odd years of my life because I now want to go and watch more ballet!

I'm a recent convert to ballet - as in I watched it live (Giselle via live feed at the cinema) for the very first time this week. I was blown away by the skill of the performers (acting, mime, dance to tell a story!), their athleticism, the staging, and so on. Utterly incredible and affirming.

And if you don't like it, jog on to sportscars or something else. There are plenty of other drivers who will gladly join F1. Has always been the way.

CIA agent, or so my son keeps telling me.

I don't really have much time for Chalamet as he comes across of late as unlikeable as his Marty Supreme character, but to drag ballet and opera in this manner shows he's either got mummy issues, or he is totally out of touch.,

I'd argue that he is proving to be as unlikeable as his character, Marty Supreme.

I came on to bluesky to avoid the mass of political discourse. Looks like I'm leaving here too.

There is no better commentator on edgy European nights than Adam Summerton. You want the comms guy to share the tension, yet let the game do the talking. He does this so so well.

Amy, I remember those first reports in the Observer (as a student who spent far too much time and money on buying papers to read reports). They were great and a real breath of fresh air. Chapeau.

Mays, those years get quicker! Enjoy them.

Unless the club is a tinpot under 10 5a side team.

unsettling somehow to see six granny smith apples in a basket on a private plane

How glorious is this?! Taking me back to the early 90s...

Totally correct. Testing is just performing stretches before a run.

Definitely Basingstoke.

That takes marginal gains to a whole new level

Has everyone forgotten the in-game ads on ITV during Italia 90. For National Power if I recall?

Leighton was one of the best keepers of the era. Save for a real confidence crisis period that coincided with Scotland getting knocked out of Italia 90, he was superb. People forget how he single handedly kept them in the Brazil game. But he's only remembered for spooning the ball.

Seems such a strange group of people to watch. My kid said, at first glance, they all just seemed normal. Then she saw the caps!

My kid works at a cinema. She served the 3 who came to a showing other day - a mother & 2 late teen daughters, who both wore MAGA caps. They were English, paid for popcorn by cash (despite booking seats online) & said "we don't share our data online" when asked if they had their cinema loyalty card.

Great. At least England will have their new manager set for autumn 2026 then.
