Egg marketing has gone on the oeuffensive in recent months. With some cracking results.

We had a history teacher at A-Level who recommended both of them. She was right (and the reason I ended-up studying history at uni).

I take your Becket and raise you A Man for All Seasons.

Stage one: borderline insulting
Stage two: fantastic parcours. Will be bodies everywhere.

Also famously part of a list of goalscorers in a World Cup match that read:

Hadji, Hadda, Eggen, Chippo.

Glorious.

I’ve always been a big fan of when Absalom got his hair caught in a tree and his mule ran off, leaving him hanging like something from a terrible 70s comedy

He’s been unpicking himself for a couple of seasons tbf 😆

I would describe the outcome so far as negative 🤦‍♂️

I did say I could actually order and get delivered something from Amazon before it finishes, so a PR win for you guys 😅

José Been. She has her fans and that’s cool, but for me she lacks the ability to call a finish, which seems fundamental to cycling commentary.

Perhaps having a decade of photos on my phone isn’t a good idea after all…

And not incorrectly, to be fair to him

It was actually Tom Paulin, and he said it on Newsnight Review. Here’s the full quote:

“What we’re confronted with is a cultural pastiche that mistakes gesture for substance. There’s a faint whiff of authenticity, certainly, but it’s anxiously self-aware. Perfect baking results.”

Oh, and famously also Keven Durant in the NBA.

Not saying it’s a guarantee, but complete doom and gloom is not necessary - all cases are individual.

I can give you countless examples of the opposite, though. Especially in NFL.

Someone on a our residential WhatsApp group is wondering why their safety lock isn’t working…

Lovely stuff. Like putting a shoe on your head and asking why your feet hurt.

I picked him because I think he’s an analogous player (at the same age). Wirtz is young, in a team that’s barely functional. He’ll be fine (perhaps with a different manager).

Ah, I dunno, what was it Sacchi said when people questioned his background?

“I never realised to be a jockey you had to be a horse first.”

Shearer may not be a good pundit, but that’s not because he didn’t get far in the Champs League.

Don’t disagree on the first leg tactics.

Let’s reconvene around Christmas time on this subject I reckon, see where we are then 🤝

The accurate opinion. Tie was lost in the first leg, not this one which we should’ve won on balance.

Everyone said the same about Modric after one season (I know I did). He’s been far from the problem for me.
