Champions League: we’re going to rejig and become the most infuriating football tournament on earth!

World Cup: hold my beer…

@DanSlott Congratulations bud! I trust you both will be hyphenating your surnames 😉

I just saw a trailer for The Dry 2 and for some reason it wasn’t called Dry Hard 2: Dry Harder

I like everything I've seen of Ange Postecoglou since I moved to Australia in 2012 and hope that my excitement can withstand the inevitable rash of mulletted Tottenham-shirt wearing dilettantes on my local streets over coming months

[Guardian sport @guardian_sport]

Back in Australia, where Ange Postecoglou arrived from Greece as a five-year-old in 1970, there is almost universal acclaim for the man who will become the country’s first coach to take charge of a Premier League team.

I’ve been really enjoying The National’s new record this past week or so.

In other news, I’ve been really nostalgic and sad for the past week or so.

[Stuart Condie @StuartLCondie]

Wow. It’s already that time of year when I briefly consider googling Met Gala before realising I don’t need to know what it is. Comes around quicker every year

I had some fun conversations while writing my latest story

Gourmet meals, foot spas and a "nice, nice coffee": Ultramarathons roll out high-end amenities to tempt runners, confounding traditionalists. https://t.co/LXXiFQYFUb

I've never taken Ozempic but last night I did dream that Margaret Thatcher had written a very well-received run on The Flash that I was very keen to see collected in hardback

[The Wall Street Journal @WSJ]

Where have Matthew McConaughey, Clint Eastwood, Oprah Winfrey and Johnny Depp all been seen lately? In the bizarre dreams of Ozempic users. https://t.co/yTfEkERlCw

“Freddie Mercury’s Tiffany & Co silver moustache comb” sounds like the perfect Christmas present. Or a British racehorse https://t.co/G1TEBuldOZ

My wife: did you get high and watch clips of Cruyff’s Barcelona again.

Me, crying: yes

My wife: did he have the trench coat on, and was he having a lollipop.

Me, my voice breaking into a sob: yes

Suede’s debut album is as far away from today as the Beatles’ debut album was when Suede’s debut album came out. This means nothing of course but I’m tickled thinking about how ignorant of time’s elasticity I was in 1993

“So, 30 years ago, this is where it all began. A mixture of live songs that had won us a following + our first experiments in the studio. Listening back now it still has that sense of wildness + drama, and possibility of those early days. So young and so gone, indeed!” -Mat Osman

@snowrespecter I wasn’t massively interested in other people’s kids tbf

[Stuart Condie @StuartLCondie]

@snowrespecter My daughter had identical twins in her ballet class but I didn’t notice for several years until my wife mentioned it. I thought that there was just one of them but that they moved really fast. This is absolutely true.

[Stuart Condie @StuartLCondie]

He had Tottenham playing the best football I've ever seen from the club. He improved inherited players. He trusted youngsters. He knows the club inside out. He was fired before he could finish his painful rebuild. He's available

[Stuart Condie @StuartLCondie]

Odd then that Elvis Costello was more than happy to admit to nicking Dancing Queen’s piano sound for Oliver’s Army (1978)

Bono says pressure to look ‘macho’ made him hide his love of Abba https://t.co/cQqkJUbaHt

@DennisPassa This is all locals. Widespread inability to either give way to the driver on the right or to ensure there’s room to exit before moving onto it. I find Sydney drivers are weirdly aggressive

[Stuart Condie @StuartLCondie]

Is diabolical roundabout etiquette a Sydney thing or an Australia thing?

What was your favourite typeface the Premier League ever used? 🔢

@snowrespecter Having said that, I did learn not to enter tuck shops. That potentially saved me quite a bit of bother

[Stuart Condie @StuartLCondie]

Reading this quite lovely piece made me wonder whether I am unusual in never having had a teacher who made all the difference (I'm very aware that may say more about me than my teachers)
