Fair to say Martin Samuel of @thetimes called it incorrectly in his op-ed piece at the start of this tournament. Congratulations Sarina and the team

Sad to read the news of Ray French. Coming a day after another colleague, Gerry Kersey’s passing, it’s been dispiriting weekend. Two legends of the microphone
Oh dear @northernassist . Big flying ant infestation at Arram. Bugs everywhere

Great trolling of rugby union by @dolphinsnrl. I suspect Faz agrees

Took my bike out wearing my 30+ year Raleigh Banana top. Still fits. Result.

I'm a BIG fan of blast furnaces, having written on them in some depth in Material World. But even so, there is something quite hare-brained about restarting the furnaces at Port Talbot👇 For a few reasons. First and most obviously, it would be REALLY expensive

News for travel people in Hull. The legendary Val Fedorczuk/Robinson/Coakley passed away yesterday at the grand age of 95. She enjoyed a full life but her travels were curtailed by dementia late in life

Never in doubt - Never again😓. A wretched season. Big clear out needed. At least the rebuild is as a Championship club #hcafc
