Btw… IMG rented the house next to mine and had a party with live music and club music until 1130 last night even though they assured us it would be til 10pm… I hope their players get some bad lies in the rough

Don't know why this arsehole is celebrating. MGN, the company he worked for between 1995 and 2004, paid out £120,000,000+ in claimants' legal fees and damages to its hundreds of victims, including Prince Harry, of course.

Dear @FA, can we invite Mexico for a Wembley friendly, please? Outside Azteca, England fans swapping shirts with Mexicans, England fans and Mexicans drinking and singing together. Mexico been wonderful hosts. Be great to see them and their fans at Wembley. Not been since 2010.

Ben Stokes' retirement is a symptom of Cricket's decision making still being stuck in the 20th Century.

British rookie Dan Brown is making the most of his first year in the United States.

Last week, he got the full Dallas experience 🤠

Bad enough to leave him out, but to cut him like a fish and then electrocute him too

Comedy palate cleanser. Robert Jenrick about to grandstand but reminded of his defection from one party to another this year is gold. The timing. First line great. Second line superb but crowd not recovered from the first to fully appreciate it 😊

The story behind Aaron Rai’s iron headcovers has been well trafficked, but they are so apt after years of seeing golfers exhibiting greed, entitlement and a complete loss of perspective.

[claire rogers @kclairerogers]

Aaron Rai has a good reason for using iron covers ❤️

New idea. Next time we publish a report on a politician, I’ll keep the politician’s name blanked out for a week, and let everyone take positions before they find out who it is.

Seve passed away 15 years ago today.

Perhaps no story sums up the man better than the famous "fruitcake incident" at the 1991 Volvo World Match Play.

Enjoy.

A final piece of advice from Holly Butcher - written the day before she passed away from cancer at just 27:

“It’s a strange thing knowing you’re going to die young.

At 26, I thought I had time…
To fall in love.
Start a family.
Grow old.

But cancer doesn’t care about plans.

Now, I understand how fragile life really is. Every single day is a gift, not a guarantee.

I’m not writing this to scare you. I’m writing to remind you: really live.

Stop stressing over little things. Be kind to your body- move it, nourish it, stop criticizing it. One day you’ll wish you had appreciated it.

Go outside.
Look at the sky.
Feel the sun.
Just be.

Spend less time chasing “stuff” - more time making memories. Don’t skip moments with people you love.

Laugh more.
Write a note.
Tell someone you love them.

Complain less.
Give more.
Helping others brings more joy than anything you can buy.

Be present.
Put your phone down.
Show up - really show up.

You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t need a perfect body, or a perfect life.

Just follow what makes your heart light up. Say no to what drains you. Make changes when you need to.

And please - donate blood. I wouldn’t have had that extra year without it. And that year gave me memories I’ll hold close… forever.

Thank you for reading this.
Live your life well.

And maybe… we’ll meet again someday.”

This essay by @alexolegimas is the best thing I've ever read on why AGI won't lead to mass unemployment. A compelling argument backed up by substantial empirical data.

A KitKat truck with ‘presidential-level’ security was spotted in Canada, surrounded by four black SUVs with red flags.

The stunt comes weeks after 12 tons of the chocolate bars were stolen.

The silky swing.
The double-logo visor.

Thank you for your comments on the sliced podcast. An honest opinion and my sincere thanks to the co-comms I was privileged to be alongside. Our presenter for 26 years, David Livingstone was a diamond. Butch, Bruce, outstanding. Most fortunate to be part of their world.👌
