Surprised to see Compare The Market still using "Russian" meerkats as a selling point. It's as if Putin's brutality has completely escaped them even though ordinary Russians remain the loveable Glaswegians of Europe.

Brilliant. I saw the Giro opening team time trial in Belfast. I found a spot where I got to see all of the teams approach Stormont, head up the hill, then come back again. It really gives spectators a feeling of bonding with all the cyclists.

I bought into the whole concept when I first visited. I loved the pizza, the cheap organic wine was delicious as was the lemonade. Thanks @jayrayner1.bsky.social for leading me there. Subsequent visits to Brixton and elsewhere have always been enjoyable despite the price hikes.

Ooh a nice feel of pace the commentators say. So not speed?

They will have moved on to Wrexham surely?!

With Holloway, Cureton and Jason Roberts it seemed the other way round.

Unfortunately I never had any spare money when I was young to invest but really wish I had now, even a pittance at first.

Woy Of The City doesn't work as well as Wovers.

I can only guess the Spurs fans waving white flags were a tribute to Enya's sister Moya Brennan and not the obvious.

Heigh-ho!

The Gas move into Snow White territory. 7 out of 7.

Very sorry to hear about the death of Andy Kershaw, a brilliant broadcaster and fearless journalist with great taste in music. He was always bold, challenging, friendly, generous with advice or help - and a participant in the initial meeting that led to Africa Express. RIP Andy

Martin Keown joining the Alan Shearer say pace when you mean speed club.

Never mind The Strait Of Hormuz, if we can harness the power of Gabriel's teeth all will be saved!

Just a bloke in a circle now.

She was a truly special talent, great you got to meet her and reading the articles on her it seems she truly lived and acted as her faith taught her to do.

The Romans used to clean their togas with urine so acetic acid a friendlier alternative!

100% agree. Ultimately pointless other than for the suits who skim off the proceeds and feed their habits from the TV coverage.

T-shirts and mugs I like but tote bags are never a hot item with me. Colours other than black for the tee are nice as I already have around 70 black ones. I bought a white Brookside mug from eBay recently that has faded by around 70% so ideally dishwasher friendly!

I can't see how these Lebanon-Israel talks will make any progress today. They are only being attended by diplomats with no real estate developers or sofa shaggers.

Fear and loathing in Guildford right now. Come on Leeds!

At least he will be there for the beginning of The Championship season.

Half the time is being overly generous Hillary.

And JD Vance needs to attend confession ASAP.

I'm guessing the Chelsea half time team talk wasn't overly forceful.

Google Flights doesn't appear to have any direct flights from Budapest to Moscow today or tomorrow. Sorry Viktor.
