Big fan of the @BirdGuides app, helpful and insightful, but some of the sightings are beyond anything other than a waste of everyoneโs time. If they arenโt pertinent and timely, whatโs the fucking point? What am I paying for? At 1628 - โnine briefly this morningโ. Wtf. And why?
Marcelo Bielsa: "I am sure that football is in a process of decline.

Another week, another sab group captures extraordinary drone footage of the illegal fox hunting that is rampant across the country.
This time, it was the Gloucestershire-based Beaufort Hunt โ who used to count King Charles and Camilla amongst their riders โ who were caught out by Wiltshire Hunt Saboteurs.
The footage, shot near Chippenham last Thursday, shows a fox being hunted hard over a sustained period. In heart-in-the-mouth scenes, the brave animal repeatedly seeks refuge in strips of woodland, only to be surrounded by the baying pack...

Jona Lewie embarks on the bonkers yet marvellous initiative that was the 'Be Stiff Tourโ of 1978, where all the acts travelled to gigs throughout the UK on a special โStiffโ charter train.
