Aryna Sabalenka vs Emma Raducanu:

Here we go again.

Really frustrating when event draws throw these road blocks to Emma's progress.

They had a good match in the third round at Wimbledon.

But in truth, the only person that can defeat Aryna is Aryna herself when she has a brain fade.

The clip probably dates back to when Trump had Democratic leanings!

So J D Vance is hiding the truth in his rhetoric.

Isn't it interesting that multiple posts along these lines are made daily.

But Trump remains silent.

He usually sues the pants off anyone who challenges him.

Once again, inferences can be taken.

Bold prediction for Sakkari vs Paolini.

I look out for whenever these two play as I admire both.

They'll have to sort it out between themselves.

I'm too conflicted.

Just pleased they are first on Centre Court so I can be certain when to be in front of my TV.

Issa Brothers are seeing the cows come home after their extended refinancing to acquire Asda.

Extended selling and leasing back of assets brought City Link parcels deliveries to bankruptcy and will do the same to the ISSA brothers interests.

They built sandcastles below the high tide line.

More and more pictures emerging of Trump talking out of a doorway hanging onto the door frame.

Is he having stability issues?

I wonder...

These matches are on Sky itself. 442 449

Does this mean no Youtube?

Thank you.

Sent me off in search of the comic concerts produced by Gerald Hoffnung. My parents had vinyl recordings of these.

All still available on Youtube.

That's my afternoon sorted!

So 100% tariff, unless your CEO comes cap in hand to Trump to strike a "deal".

Wonder what that entails?

Wonder if it falls under "emoluments"?

"The US president has long signalled his desire to be recognised as a global peacemaker"

No, he's desperate to match Obama - whatever the consequences.

Couldn't give a sh1t about world peace.

It's always been a farce.

The Sunday Trading Act was intended to protect shop workers.

Shop workers have still always worked full shifts, stocking shelves and doing other behind the scene things while the doors were closed to public.

It's never helped those it meant to protect.

He wants to collate a list of persons for ICE to target then?

"ipl investors"

They knew what they were buying.

Double header one hundred ball matches.

Two T20 matches would lead to splitting the double headers into separate fixtures.

I suspect, truly, they are not bothered with the women and want a T20 men's series in the IPL format.

My doomsday scenario for the Hundred centres on a "idea" floated to separate Men's and Women's matches into stand -alone fixtures.

Anecdotally the double header matches we enjoy now came about due to covid management.

But, if so, it was a happy accident of fate.

Don't change it now.

What's the world coming to when you have to think twice about buying a tin of Spam?

Even the supermarket copies are frighteningly pricey.

UK hopes dashed!

If Katies Boulter beats Olga Danilovic, she faces Emma Raducanu for the right to play Sabalenka in Round Three!

Lots of if buts and maybes there but if matches follow form...

...doesn't look good.

So when Trump claims he's doing "The Weave"...

he's, as we always suspected, just waffling.

I don't care.

Every hour he spends on the golf club is an hour where he and his acolytes are not destroying the country.

Encourage more.

Think of the courses and caddies humouring Trump as a dementia day care facility.

Why has Trump taken to holding press conferences at this doorway?

It looks like he's just exiting the plane's toilet!

One thing Trump is abysmally bad at is "optics"

That tiny desk he signs EO's at in the White House garden, another perfect example of how he gets it wrong time and again.

Is he going to step down?

Only thing that would do it.
