@cbliddell And we have Simon Cowell. He's a deterrent for just about anybody.

@henrywinter Well said, H. Cucurella had a great season. But are you sure he's better than Arthur "I don't know where I'm going either" Masuaka?

@cbliddell I think it's just flipped from one cunt to another

[Fred Varcoe @fredvarcoe]

@JohnnyDuerden Think it's overplayed. I lived for 5 years on top of a 2,000-meter mountain in Saudi Arabia, played a lot of sport and barely noticed altitude. Direct sun, heat and humidity will affect players more.

@shhhbreslin I wrote the same (sort of) five years ago and after 20 mins take the keepers off until someone scores: https://t.co/hD5XeAu23D

@JohnnyDuerden @koreatimescokr After a Korean team thrashed Kashima Antlers, I wrote an article (30 years ago?) for The Japan Times headlined "Why the Koreans are better than Japan." I loved the Koreans' energy and gung-ho style. Where's it gone?

@henrywinter You forgot to mention kimchi....😋

If you wanted to discover why The Sun has collapsed both journalistically and financially you need to look no further than when they were exclusively told ( prior to the election) about Zac Polanski’s mum being an escort thereby explaining his Green Party policy of legalising prostitution.
His mother lives in Manchester and for decades her wider family has known she’s been offering her services as Ava Aroma
At first it wasn’t vice, but dressing transvestites with outfits, wigs and make up.
Then she became a dominatrix, later doing escort work and appearing on Only Fans. The Full English.
Quite reasonable for the media to know what would motivate Mr Polanski towards a political first in the UK of making the sex trade legal.
Personally I support it, as under the present laws all that is being achieved is making a number of violent Albanian gangsters very wealthy.
Anyway, The Sun was offered this interesting tale but the message came back that executives viewed it as “ political assassination” and wouldn’t touch it.
Have they gone quite mad.
Had his mum owned a bank and Polanski wanted to relax banking taxes or rules that should be revealed. Same with sex.
Murdoch has told his people that he doesn’t mind funding a loss-making Sun as long as it doesn’t cause him a problem.
The whole point of journalism is to reveal uncomfortable truths.
Murdoch should do his bottom line, and the dwindling number of online and print readers a favour and flog The Sun while it has a value.

@bryanbrosgolf I will watch it, BUT I got THREE BB videos today: your 1on1 with Wes; Wes with Ryan; you and Wes with Peter Finch (which I won't watch). Not exactly great management, is it?

Admiral Yamamoto, seen here realizing he’d totally forgot to tell Trump he was going to attack Pearl Harbor.

What I like about Diwali, Vaisakhi, Chanukah and
Easter celebrations is that there is very little talk of beheading

@ikeijeh @MosiniElisa Er ... we're still in Europe and we still have a voice. We're just not in the EU cult....

@AndrewKirbyGolf the morons at FIFA still think a penalty shootout is a good way to decide a World Cup. Twats.

Maybe we could have a play-off system where all 24 teams play each other home and away, with the top three teams getting promoted.

Plugged the intro from my book into AI and got this video 'review' in about 10 minutes...
