What did @theresa_may say to make @jeremycorbyn laugh as they sat together during the King of Spain's visit to Parliament?

fair play to this part of Cumbria for producing both England's World Cup back-up keepers, James Trafford and Dean Henderson, *and* WC2006 back-up Scott Carson. The Gipuzkoa of goalkeeping.

After eleven unforgettable seasons in red, club captain and fans’ favourite David Symington has announced his retirement from football.

From making his debut during the 2014/15 season to becoming one of the most influential players of a generation at Workington AFC, Dav leaves behind a legacy that will take some replacing.

Across 296 starts and 54 substitute appearances, he scored an incredible 113 competitive goals for the Reds — alongside a further 19 goals in 56 non-competitive appearances. Numbers that only tell part of the story.

A talisman on the pitch, a leader in the dressing room, and one of the most respected figures around the football club, Dav has played a huge role in so many memorable moments across the last decade.

Whether it was spectacular goals, big performances in important moments, or simply the standards he set every single day around the club, he represented Workington AFC with pride, passion and commitment throughout.

Football clubs are built on people as much as players — and Dav has been a massive part of this club both on and off the pitch.

Everyone at Workington AFC would like to thank Dav for everything he has given to the club and wish him and his family nothing but the very best for the future.

Once a Red, always a Red ❤️

What an incredible job he’s done - Billy Barr’s Workington AFC were ten points adrift of NPL Premier safety at the end of January but his side have secured their place next season!

Is anybody else interested in a free private jet flight for 6 people to Augusta to go to the The 2026 Masters this weekend?

I'm still looking for 3-4 more people to join us. We can leave tomorrow, April 8 and will fly to Augusta where we'll stay through the final round and then fly home.

If interested please PM me. Preferably someone with a private jet and 6 tickets to the Masters, otherwise we can't go.

If you haven't been paying attention all you need to know is that Rory can't win at Augusta, Tommy can't win on the PGA Tour, and winning an away Ryder Cup is the hardest thing you can do in golf...

Here's your trailer for Full Swing Season 4. Coming 17 April.

On election night in 2007, for someone reason somebody must have dosed the BBC Politics graphics department with psychedelics, because this happened.
