BREAKING: New data shows ZERO oil tankers passed through the Strait of Hormuz today, signaling what appears to be a complete shutdown of the Strait for the first time in history.

The Strait normally carries about 20% of the world’s oil supply.

Strikes me these instructions might not have been understood because of vocabulary, pronunciation and stress. In my (English-speaking) country 'vacate' is pronounced va-cate with the stress on cate. This guy says vay-cate with both syllables stressed. His pronunciation of TOUSKA sounds like TOASTER.

There is nothing politically left about being a great football team with players scoring lots of goals and keeping clean sheets and beating the opposition.

The left-isation of everything normal and apolitical is tedious. Let players wear what they like and don't judge them except on the field.

Disappointing & interesting. Not seen that on coverage, maybe a hint just.

I'm at the point of wishing he'd just grow a beard and disappear off to LIV so I don't have to cringe for the broadcasters any more, or get irked by the X-ers wondering why he doesn't get more coverage. I don't root for him any more.

Irish musician Moya Brennan dies aged 73 Moya Brennan, best known as the lead singer of the Grammy and BAFTA-winning group Clannad, died peacefully yesterday, surrounded by her family, at the age of 73.

So sad to learn of the passing of Moya Brennan of Clannad. For me, her singing was the bridge between the old traditions of Irish music and something new and vibrant as contemporary sounds and influences came into it.
Her instrument was her voice, and it was stunning.

I became properly aware of Memorial by reading Tom Parfitt's High Caucasus, a travelogue with painfully absent friends along the way.

Maybe "handing it" to Newsom was a play on the hands, one of which has either 5 fingers and no thumb, or 5 fingers AND a thumb.

To hit it as hard as you can without caring about the outcome is the hardest thing when you've pulled every tee shot this round so far. But he has maybe just done that.

Was their brilliant light confined to themselves, or did it project out from them and illuminate the towers/ cast light down to the ground?
