I just think about Callum Ball and I get shivers.
Didn’t have to be one or the other. If people can’t/won’t cook then that’s on them, not the takeaway owner. But definitely agree that outdoor sport could and should have carried on a lot more than it did.

This is why you’re so desperate for the wedding to happen isn’t it - if it is after the start of the season and she realises how shite it is being a Cov fan there’s no way it’d be going ahead!
Are they exclusive? Can you not raffle shirts if you’re buying players? Do you think Robins has been doing the rounds at the local Working Men’s Clubs?
Ah yes, the establishment really felt that. To be honest, I don’t know how they’ll ever recover from a true ‘man of the people’ and tearaway [checks notes] Alexander Boris De Pfeffel Johnson becoming PM.
