Frame from a Guardian cartoon about the Man City-Arsenal match on Sunday. A dozen Bernado Silvas overwhelm GAbriel (in a Godzilla suit) and (I think) Declan Rice. "Nico O'Reilly was again superb at left-back, and an obvious choice for a World Cup spot shoiuld England fail to find a right-footed olayer to crowbar awkwardly into that slot. Bernardo Silva was also everywhere, overwehlming Arsenal like they were unwitting participants in a Japanese game show where they are forced to play against 100 bearded Portuguese children"

I know a few great tacklers and try to shoehorn them in. AA is my blind spot, I pay no attention to it at all.

MCG leans into my Richmond background. We had some very lean years 1983- 1994.

What's Mrs Kayne Pettifer up to? "Partying" with Mrs Royce Vardy? We deserve to know.

My local paper loves its clever pun headlines. An accounting teacher raped a 16yo student in 1981. Earlier this year she sued him, and yesterday she won. Judge found he took her to a hotel during school hours and raped her. 16 years old. $1.2m judgement.

The Mercury: "ADD IT UP"

Satellite images reveal scale of Israeli demolitions as Lebanese villages destroyed BBC Verify analysis found more than 1,400 buildings had been destroyed since 2 March.

It's easy to succumb to outrage fatigue. But this was four days ago. 2,000 killed. 1.2 million displaced. Entire villages demolished. A 40km 'buffer zone' (10% of Lebanon's territory) annexed. It's barely raised a resigned shrug, but it meets the criteria for war crime. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Sounds great, but how do I do this? Drag it from where?

You can book out the whole East Coast, people don't realise this. I had from St Helens to Scamander to myself for a week.

‘Fisk really changed my life’: Aaron Chen on leaving Australia for the US and his meteoric rise The gently offbeat comedian is a beloved presence on Australian TV, but he’s now relocated to New York and made his first Hollywood film. He reflects on ‘a big time of growing up’

I'm slightly surprised Aaron Chen's role in Very Small Business didn't get a mention here. Seems like Hope and Butler wrote the kernel of his character in Fisk.

Me and the lads in the chat when the subject turns to Latvian folklore

Auseklis is often referred to as being very young. As a reflex of this, he is seen as too young to work with the other deities, is very playful, and his horse is either bought by him or for him by the Sun.[15] According to Marija Gimbutas's analysis, Auseklis is a "dievaitis" ('little god') that appears with a horse the Sun gave him, and falls in love with the daughter of the (female) Sun ("Saules dukterims").[16]

It's a cold place I guess! He sounds delightful.

Sleaford Mods last night, good show. I was wondering, on a head-to-head basis, on their career lyric output, which would win out of
