@theoldzealand It reflects a different understanding of the place of sport in the culture.

Americans see sport as entertainment, a fun day out, so it’s natural they’d do something fun like a Mexican wave.

Britons support football as a matter of tribal allegiance. It is serious. Not fun.

Did you see that ludicrous display last night? https://t.co/VjvgfznrgE

@RobTheHockeyGuy Why do you think that? The World Cup hasn’t started yet.

It seems to me that the Zadie Smith who wrote Intimations is not at all the same person as the Zadie Smith who wrote Dead and Alive. What’s changed in those five (?) years? Moving back to London?

[Peter Jackson @peterajackson]

@RickelKendra @DrNeilStone Agreed. It’s a way of saying: work’s over, fun starts from here.

@moizali There are nice lakes near Oslo.

@Finch__Hatton Near me there’s a tiny, tiny house with a Bentley outside.

@WONGthink That guy in the glasses is so desperate to be in the middle of things.

@ThePosieParker I know it’s not a symbol, but putting ‘sweary’ or ‘sarcastic’ in one’s bio.

@siobhanworld He sounds like a catch.

He’s hoping to bowl a maiden over.

Why’s he done that? I’m stumped.

If it all goes wrong you can… run out.

(And more of this kind.)

(I love cricket, me.)

@anon_opin “They should teach [ ] in school” is the shittest category of opinion.

[Peter Jackson @peterajackson]

@WG_RumblePants And it’s always a great atmosphere at cricket clubs.

@siobhanworld @amandaknox I had to visit the mags as a law student. Saw a guy up for stealing nine Crunchie bars. That was somehow so depressing, I’ll never forget the scene.

(Also became a real estate lawyer.)

@IainSankey @blablafishcakes 🤷‍♂️ I send them still!

[Peter Jackson @peterajackson]

@IainSankey @blablafishcakes “Sent a postcard.”

That’s supposed to be a historical memory now, is it?
