In 1990, Dolly Parton went on vacation in Ireland.

She walked into a local pub in County Kerry and delivered a flawless performance of Coat of Many Colors.

A heart of pure gold who made people smile across oceans.

Today, however, Lake Nyos is fitted with pipes that bring gas-rich deep water to the surface, allowing the CO₂ to escape safely.

Here's another way of looking at it. One midweek One Day Cup group game got a higher turnout than every single "Major League Cricket" 2026 game bar the final. To each their own.

A tool used to rephrase plagiarised text changed "final solution" to "mass killing of an ethnic group" in a chemistry paper. Now retracted thanks to a PubPeer user who spotted this.

Can confirm Kew Gardens picked up no measurable precipitation yesterday, there has been a weather station at Kew for 155 years and this will be first instance of a totally rainless calendar month. #London #drought

Another terrible night in Ukraine. Putin won’t cease his attacks until he is forced to stop. With very few interceptors likely to be available for some time, that now means going after his launchers and production capacity inside Russia.

For the days that are already ruined by 2pm. You know the ones — morning gone, nothing started, and the whole day feels contaminated.

There's a protocol for this. I call it the 10-minute funeral. It has saved more of my afternoons than anything else I do.

If you're ever unsure of what to say to the clergy as you exit a service, why not try "How are the souls?"

If the Catholics are right and the Pope is the Supreme Pontiff, and if temporal authority is subordinated to spiritual authority, then the Pope can depose the head of FIFA and overturn Balogun's red card

Idle thought about C of E management...
Consider Sam Wilberforce, Bishop of Oxford (1845-69). He didn't even have a full-time secretary, let alone a vast diocesan bureaucracy. In his time as bishop, his diocese saw:
- 100+ new churches built
- 250+ churches restored
- 70+ parsonages built
- theological and teaching colleges founded
- Bishop constantly visiting parishes, offering personal pastoral care to laity and clergy alike.

By far my favourite Scotland vs Brazil story is the referee saying “Good luck, may the best team win” to both captains before the game in 1982 and Graeme Souness replying “I fucking hope not”
