Anyone else only finding out today that most WHSmith shops have changed TGJones?

There’s times where I lose matches and immediately after know what my optimal end-game play would have been and I just didn’t select it because I didn’t see it in the moment, so there’s lots of learning

I’ve been playing a lot of pokemon champions of late, and am now at Ultra Ball 2; which means only UB1 is between myself and the Master Ball rank (which you cannot get relegated from once achieved). The only level higher is champion rank and that’s where the literal best are. I’m on my way though

Had a really interesting day — went to Doncaster with my wife, kids and mother-in-law, they went to a doggo event thing and I went around the town and found a lovely cafe called Bone Idle, which was super inclusive and had yummy drinks- I’d recommend going if you’re ever there

Anyone who still has “huge respect” for JK Rowling after Everything she’s said and done has definitionally no respect for trans people

What a final. TPG wins his final world championships and makes it 7! Snapped chain for one rider, puncture for another made it a two-up and the Frenchman did applied the coup de grace!

Men’s could be anyone’s but I think TPG in his final race will get to the final, but that’s as far as I can predict - the men’s field is always super open and any mistake can change things drastically

It’s the opening race of the Mountain Bike Eliminator season and they’re starting with the World Championships

In the women’s I predict it’s finally going to be a win for Fromberger ahead of Tormena and defending champ Sukhapalova.

A screenshot of the tournament placing of 34,053 and a rating of 1557.302 where 1500 is the starting point, lose matches loses points, win matches and you gain points but losses take more than the wins gain so anything above 1500 represents a positive win record

Did my second ever pokemon tournament this weekend and although the ranking doesn’t look high.. I had a positive win-loss record, and being 34,053rd means I’m within the top 10% of participants

I’ve been playing a bit of the new Pokemon Champions game and honestly it feels quite quick as a battle system and team building doesn’t feel difficult; all in all, good game

Koch!!!! I’m calling it

I think so… it’s so hard to tell

WOUTTTTTT! (I was on 2min delay)

+1 on that

I think a lot of the world still thinks womens sport should be fawning with gratitude over scraps and just like, no. Women's sport has been suppressed and downtrodden and undervalued purposefully forever, we have no obligation to be bowled over by less than the bare minimum

I lowk love them

Omg the Aussie comms were brutal “Fred Wright’s sat in second… he’s very good at being second eh?”

Like 0 chill from their commentary team

It’s finally time for the race that the Kaiser Chiefs used to sing about:

Roubaix Roubaix Roubaix Roubaix!

One match I won because they forfeited, which was good because I don’t think I had a win condition

Entered a pokemon tournament this weekend. Game 5 or 6 of it, I have to put my switch down because my youngest was crying… I was gone for about 3 turns and during that the computer played for me and I ended up winning… after being on a losing streak no less 😅

New Shikari album? Don’t mind if I do- it’s a beautiful symphony of everything I enjoy about them - what a time to be alive

XCE is doing the craziest thing and starting the season with the World Championships with very limited chances for riders to hone their form it’ll be really interesting to see how everyone goes

I love how in cycling there’s riders who are good at Grand Tours and riders who excel at the classics… anyway, how’s De Ronde going?

This is the cycling insight TNT are scared of

Watched SNL UK episode 3 last night and really enjoyed it, the traitors sketch was wonderfully done and speaks to some of the voting that happens in the early rounds of the show, and all in all it was a marvellous watch

I’m never sure 🥲🥲🥲

the Wout van Aert tricycle isn’t real, it can’t hurt you

*me flirting with a space expedition*
Sooooo… is there an Arte-mister?

He also kept talking about saving the British household £100

What time is that over? He never says, it’s clearly not that important…

I’ve been told that’s per year… and a tenner a month isn’t something I’d be shouting about as a key popularity winner

Is that what you think or something officially published because my point remains, you could ask 10 people and you’d get a wide range of what they consider to be the National Interest tm
