@IanTnf Good luck, Emp. You’ve got this.

@danishalmond @AthleticsImages Something to do with the BBC was the unsubstantiated claim, which is almost the same as cricket and insurance.

Laddies who lunch

Denbies is 1st, 2nd & 3rd choice venue for @AthleticsImages birthday celebration. Here we are in the Surrey sunshine discussing important gossip & world issues like “Who was Harold Macmillan’s son-in-law?”
Answer - between us - we don’t know
Top lunch though

Like Yomif Kejelcha in the marathon, Femke Bol has never run over 2:00 in the 800m outdoors

@IanTnf *Emperor. Not Eros 😂

[Geoff Wightman @WightmanGeoff]

@IanTnf Hope you are ok, Eros? Wait until the weather calms down a bit before your eagerly awaited parkrun walk debut?

Japan v Sweden is the World Cup group-stage match that has the most islands.

Japan has 14,125 islands. Sweden has about 267,570: more than any country on Earth. Between them: nearly 282,000 islands.

Stay tuned for more cutting-edge, geography-based World Cup analysis.

Happy birthday, Marky Boy.

.@beatingthebook Could be good day for tennis players whose dad's own football teams. Jessica Pegula won earlier. Now Arthur Fery, whose father Lioc owns French Ligue 1 club FC Lorient and is worth around $350m, is one set all against Francisco Cerundolo at Queen's.
