It's the only way mankind will ever move to another planet. Which is why we never will.

Patient, sobbing: But Doctor, I AM Pagliacci!
ChatGPT: Apologies. I didn't realise when recommending Pagliacci's epic show to cure your depression that you were the genius himself. I'm impressed! With regards to your initial question, I can recommend seeing the Great Clown Pagliacci.

Let's cram all tests into a month, despite selling out 25 days of 20,000+, just so we can fit in a month of crud that no one's really arsed about.

I don't mind white ball (altho I'll never accept a completely new format made more sense than a T20 comp), but we've really got our priorities wrong.

Yeah, ridiculous. I paid ยฃ65 at Headingley and ยฃ80 at Edgbaston but that average should probably be even higher.

Yeah, in fairness it should be 2-2 or even a close India series win, but we're only a mediocre bowling performance at Old Trafford away from 4-1 (assuming we can get over the line here). Amazing series. 24 days of 20,000 sell outs at ticket prices that probably average ยฃ80+

Ozzy Osbourne Farewell Show Was The Highest-Grossing Charity Concert Of All Time On July 5, Ozzy Osbourne put on a farewell concert, performing as a solo artist and with Black Sabbath for the last time in the bandโ€™s hometown of Birmingham, UK. Billed as the โ€œBack To The Beginningโ€...

Ozzy going out after raising $190 million for sick kids and a Parkinsonโ€™s cure is metal AF.

Ozzy Osbourne visited my magic shop. He said he'd like to buy some stink bombs. How many? All of them. I had to go through drawers finding every last one. He bought 900 of them. To sign the credit card slip I handed him a shock pen, which he thought was hilarious and bought that too. RIP

If you were born between 1970-1990 you may not have full MMR protection, even if you had parents who took you for all your jabs. The NHS will give you a free booster. With cases surging, this is a great way to protect yourself & your community. Iโ€™m getting mine tomorrow www.nhs.uk/vaccinations...
