World Cup 2026 prices: New York's £111 train fares will have 'chilling effect', says Fifa Fifa hits back at criticism from New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill, saying vastly inflated train fares at the 2026 World Cup will have a

This isn’t going to be the World Cup - it’s going to be the Money Cup. Combination of FIFA greed and US commercialisation. I think fans should boycott it!

BBC4 right now - Krapp’s Last Tape by Samuel Beckett, acted by Harold Pinter! Fantastic.

Did the US really expect to resolve things in 1-2 days of talks?? Surely they must continue the dialogue. #IranWar

Come on Chelsea, is all I can say… #Arsenal

Dandelions! #Spring

“Our finger is on the trigger.” That pretty much sums up the state of Israel…

That weird Spring thing when it’s warm outside but actually still quite cool/almost chilly inside… 🤔

Well, Happy Easter to those who celebrate it.

Robert Smith of The Cure… such an odd looking creature… such a massive genius!

Always feels like a must-do to drink some red wine on Good Friday…

Trump warns Tehran ‘more to follow’ after strike destroys Iran’s largest bridge Eight people reported killed in attack on newly completed suspension bridge after strike splits structure in half

Sorry, America, this just looks like international vandalism…

Amazing to think that the world had the capability to land on the moon more than 50 years ago! In a sense, we seem to have moved on very little since 🤔

Chuffed that my ‘second country’ Turkey - where my wife is from - made it to the World Cup!

As I was finishing a dog walk today… #RoboDelivery

First day of British Summertime and it’s c-c-cold !

Moses Itauma - heavyweight boxing sensation!

Meta and YouTube found liable in social media addiction trial A woman has been awarded $3m in a verdict that could have implications for hundreds of other cases in the US.

Really don’t know what I think about this…

Starting out on Annihilation by Michel Houellebecq. Have never read anything of his before. Described by the Sunday Times on the cover as “the most important novelist, in all of Europe, of the past three decades.” High expectations therefore! #BookSky #writingcommunity

For about the first time ever, I’m pleased there’s an international break!

Come on Arsenal!!! #COYG

It’s happened. I’ve opened a window! ☀️🌿

First grass cut of the year today. Back to that old grind… 😟

Went to Costco as I occasionally do. Wasn’t it an extraordinary brand/marketing decision to have ‘cost’ right there in the name? But it doesn’t seem to have done any harm! #Costco

Finished Erasure by Percival Everett. Enjoyed it! However, sentence in first para says “I have always been severely put off any story that had as its main character a writer” which made me laugh out loud in agreement. But that’s what it really turned out to be, so… a bit disappointed. #BookSky

Lovely afternoon with my mum and sisters at Bristol museum for Mother’s Day. Museums really are treasures that we should all visit more often - and they’re free too!

Well, I’ve been watching Platoon - what a film - but it sounds like it was one hell of a battle at the Stade de France! 😮

So Trump is already getting bored of bombing Iran to pieces. Probably needs to bring it to a close because the next item on his PR schedule is coming up soon. 🙄

A rather lovely crowd of daffodils

Amazing (scary) how quickly war becomes ‘normal’. We must never allow it.

Fair assessment!
