Please can we not have morons in the boozers asking for him to be dropped after the first couple of games. Happens every tournament. He’s the best player to have ever worn the England shirt.
Do you know that 90% of all large predatory fish (like tuna, swordfish, sharks, and cod) are gone from the world's oceans.
If humans continue overfishing at the current rate, the planet will run out of seafood by 2048 with catastrophic consequences

the least realistic thing about Obsession is not Nikki & Ian hooking up or the One Wish Willow or the ridiculously busy music store with multiple employees. it’s the cat consuming the pills. in what world does a cat willingly consume pills.
Premier League needs to look into bringing foreign referees into the league because the English ones aren’t good enough. If you can’t see that’s a clear red for Havertz after 15 looks at it you probably shouldn’t be at the top of your profession
UK TV sport industry: ‘Why are so many people turning to illegal fire sticks?’
Also UK TV sport industry: ‘The 2026 Champions League final involving a UK team will not be broadcast free-to-air for the first time in 34 years.’
No escape. Microplastics have now been found even in tadpoles in the heart of the Amazon rainforest. Every single one of the tadpoles examined contained them.

Kids dying of cancer almost always figure it out before anyone tells them. A 1978 study followed 40 children with leukemia, ages three to nine, and found that every single one of them had worked out they were dying. Most kept it secret, to protect their parents.
The researcher was an anthropologist named Myra Bluebond-Langner. She spent nine months living on a children's cancer ward, watching the kids put it together for themselves. Even the three-year-olds figured it out.
The most popular book on the ward was Charlotte's Web. When the kids understood what was coming, it became the only book they wanted read to them. They always picked the chapter where Charlotte dies.
There's a name for what was happening between those kids and their parents. Two sociologists, Barney Glaser and Anselm Strauss, wrote about it in a 1965 book called Awareness of Dying. They called it "mutual pretense." Both sides know the truth, both pretend they don't, and nobody says the thing out loud.
The kids pick it up from their own bodies first. The fatigue gets worse week by week. They watch the nurses' faces tighten when they walk in. They see the kid in the next bed disappear one day and never come back. A pediatric psychologist named Barbara Sourkes calls this "the wisdom of the body," the part where your body can't lie to you about how sick you are.
The biggest study on this is from 2004. The New England Journal of Medicine published a Swedish survey of 449 parents whose children had died of cancer between 1992 and 1997. The researchers asked them whether they had talked to their child about death. Of the 147 parents who said yes, not one regretted it. Of the 258 who said no, 27 percent did. Among parents who could tell their child knew but stayed quiet, the regret rate climbed to 47 percent.
When a story like this goes viral, with the "beautiful lie" framing of a mother protecting her son, it sounds like the protection only goes one way. The data says it almost never does. The parent thinks they're shielding the child. The child has usually been shielding them right back.
trolley problem but it’s a group of rich ppl who refuse to quarantine with a disease that has 30-50% mortality rate. on the other track is the rest of the world
Some of you guys are alright. Don't be alive on May 15, 2026, when I set off the global pandemic which shall come to be referred to by the struggling, tormented survivors as "The Event".
🚨🗣️ Jarrod Bowen: "When you look at the screen for five minutes you'll find something - a lot of grappling and a lot of holding. I'm sure if you look long enough you'll find something. Do I think it's the right decision? NO."
"Frustration. Where's the consistency? As a fan you don't want to celebrate a goal and then wait eight minutes and it's taken off you."
"Corners are physical. The Premier League is physical. That's why everyone loves it. You have to expect contact at corners. If you give that you have to give all the holding calls in the world and that's not the way people want the game to go down."
"I don't want to sound bitter but last week we had one with Tomas Socuek held at Brentford and we didn't get a penalty. But then you can't give one like that today." (BBC)
