Up.
Face like a claustrophobic stuck inside a mile-long hollowed out tree trunk. Hair like Boxcar Willie being probed by Country Music hatin’ aliens. Voice like a mic’d up Trump snoring his way through the season finale of ‘The Iran War’.
Morning.

Somali referee Omar Artan, who was set to be the first from his country to officiate at the World Cup finals, has been denied entry to the United States.
With the background of financial profiteering beginning to shadow this World Cup, it’s inspiring to listen to deeply human stories like this one. Nice to be reminded of what it means to the players (as well as the fans)
Diogo Jota's wife, Rute Cardoso, has written a letter to Scotland captain Andy Robertson ahead of the World Cup.

Paul Weller: Dancing Through the Fire - The Authorised Oral History is published in paperback on 11 June.
Up. Face, hair and voice like a vomit-soaked, rat-arsed Sooty, out all-night with Muffin the Mule celebrating the retirement of Barbapapa, drinking Castrol GTX cocktails, and having tongue-snogged Soo at a Milton Keynes dogging ‘rave’ organised by Rainbow’s Bungle.
Morning.
