Torture for 85minutes and then unbelievable stuff and #Dowman impact and a goal at barely 16 - seems absoulety seminal ❤️🤍

Sub 2 looking increasingly inevitable- maybe even this year 🤞

Fair play from Kompany - he has nailed it here

Congratulations Italy - a beautiful and emotional opening ceremony - bring on the games - great to see the imperious Franco Baresi with the Olympic torch #milancortina2026 #winterolympics 🇮🇹 ⛷️

We should assume the rain over the last few weeks is the absolute baseline as a country we need to be prepared for. And we need to plan for the 526.9mm Spain recorded in 24hrs the other day. That level of rain here is both unthinkable and inevitable.

Chuck them all Seán! Well, do it through it through WEEE. There isn’t a cable here that you’ll ever use again AND there isn’t a cable here you couldn’t buy for a few euro if I’m wrong!

Come On Up To The House - really enjoyable Knives Out 3 👏👏

In Orwell’s 1984 by banning words via ‘Newspeak’ Syme explains that Newspeak's goal is to narrow the range of thought, making complex or rebellious ideas literally inexpressible as words disappear.
