I read the plot summary out of intrigue, cor blimey.

Finished The Getaway by Jim Thompson, fucking hell. It's 90% an exciting crime caper with two people on the run after a bank robbery and then becomes a surreal horror, had to read the final chapter twice to take it in properly. They've made two film versions of it with neither even trying to...

I saw an ad for this yesterday, really like the look of it so I'm getting an order in.

I love how the Southampton players' version of events have them all politely disagreeing with their aggressors while respecting their right to dispute. One almost referred to an opponent as a silly billy but thought better of it for fear of having to pay into the swear jar and pray with rosary beads

Chap in Argentina must be seething that he didn't get to kick it for a ticket.

I missed that game, booked a weekend in Rome a few months before because it's Cov and everything goes wrong so no chance are we making the playoffs. There on a Colosseum tour getting the goal updates.

Couldn't agree more with this, he was absolutely vital.

I like to have a look at opposition viewpoints for games and every time we win there's someone talking about how we celebrate as if it's a cup final blah blah. Fuck me, if you can't enjoy a win what's the point in going?

I'm making a conscious effort to read more this year and so far so good (although maybe not in terms of variety, another crime book finished and I've started another since) King of Ashes by SA Cosby, a successful finance wiz returns to his home town when his father has a car accident only to...

Not heard of it before but a brief glimpse suggests it's right up my street so I'll have a look for that one, cheers

That Sunny chap must be at least 20 years too old to be poncing about like he does.

Credit to him for bagging the peace prize double at the first time of asking. The Preston North End of global affairs.

I've been the once, by coincidence it was also to see Orlando Magic lose but in their old home arena that's since been knocked down. I've always enjoyed basketball but casually enough to the point where I feel like you could just skip to the last five minutes of a lot of games and not miss much.

I'm not sure what nationality Hamer officially is but I'm going by the song as gospel Westwood (Ire) Philips (Wal) Konjic (Bos) Ostigard (Nor) Van Ewijk (Ned) Hadji (Mor) McAllister (Sco) Hamer (Bra) Ndlovu (Zim) Regis (Eng) Gyokeres (Swe)

Seen a lot of the classic 'enjoy your cup final' in the hours since, wonder if that's ever actually bothered anyone.

Denmark could sidestep the Greenland thing by just giving him a novelty deed certificate with his face on it.

I'd like some kind of sabotage element to it, like the traitors having their own sneaky sidepot where the lost winnings from tasks go instead

I suspect Harriet's exit was a bit of that, going from silent assassin to mad fucker in the space of a single episode can't have hurt searches and sales.

It's a rare 'event' entertainment show, one with more strategy and psychology to it than most. Declaring something symptomatic of society dumbing down without ever seeing it is a bit odd

"Babs Dionne, doting grandmother and vicious crime matriarch, rules her small town with an iron fist. She controls the flow of drugs into its borders with the help of her loyal lieutenants, girlfriends since they were teenagers, and her eldest daughter, Lori, a former soldier struggling with...
