For no particular reason, except it made me laugh, here's Rich Hall summing up every Tom Cruise movie of the 80s and 90s

This is absolutely wild. I’m on a cross country flight. We are being diverted midway through to Denver. The reason? Some dude is sitting in the exit row who didn’t pay the $155 fee and he refuses to move back to his seat.

It's funny how one sentence can take me back 40 years. All of a sudden, I'm in some epic lock-ins in my village local, The Old Oak

Pakistan haven't scored 200 yet so I can't see them getting close to that against this attack

This is me and my mate Ansh. He's leaving the North East to move to Birmingham so will be one of those non-white faces racists see. He's a doctor, born in India, as is his wife.

They have done more for this country than Jenrick and his ilk will ever do

I'm sure I've seen that A Level grades aren't always the best indicator of degree success and wonder whether this has something to do with it.

Is there a study of A Level results, degree results and institutional background?

Right, you've dragged me back into this. I had a 122 day streak broken because I was stuck on a plane and couldn't log on in April. This is day 5 of the new one

I forgot my bowling! It got mentioned in the numbers, but here's some more detail.

I'd agreed with my pal Haneef that we'd split keeping duties, as he needed practice for an upcoming Over 60s game. So we swapped at drinks. I got to bowl the 22nd over and wasn't taken off till I'd bowled 8-1-39-2

Shed gym for me. I have a rower, bike on rollers, cross trainer and resistance bands. It's dry out, but still 40mph+ winds
