Many politicians are happy to trumpet Shakespeare for patriotic capital but just don’t want anyone to study him apparently. Disgraceful.

It's said the Mall is red so it would stand out as a potential runway if the royal family ever have to be flown to safety. The lampstands along the road appear to be hinged so they could be folded down in that eventuality.

Tell him you'll settle for 1% of his royalties

Interesting. I never really thought my time at Birkbeck might not have been rated elsewhere but thinking back, a top London uni turned down my application to do a PhD with them where another university was happy to have me. So now I wonder. (Of course it could just have been me).

Dare you to each the peach too......

Trump to City - drop dead.

Yes I think so (though he's not left-footed is he?). I suppose it would be asking a lot of him at his age but he looks promising.

Sorry should have read your post properly. 👍

What should it be? “If one was to..”?

Also the title of an album by the vibrators and a single by That Petrol Emotion of course.

Good shout - I had forgotten about the band!

1. The history of V2 rockets
2. Punk bands of the 1970s and 1980s
3. Brighton and Hove Albion FC

ICE attempted

It needed to be scored.

I didn't see the game live so that's good to hear. I thought against Tottenham he was way off his normal levels unfortunately. The problem with resting him and moving Minteh to the left is we don't seem to have a natural replacement on the right. Not sure it's Gruda's best position.

So good. And makes you wonder if he’ll play on the left more often. (Though where would Mitoma-san play then)

A quick note to say that I am available for freelancing work. Because frankly I'm not getting enough through at the moment.

Not that I particularly care but why do Chelsea STILL not have a shirt sponsor?

Putin's useful idiots

Kind of feels like a big deal that a Reform/Brexit Party former MEP has been convicted of taking bribes to promote Russian interests in Ukraine, and it feels like a bigger deal that this isn’t being treated as the major scandal that it clearly is.

Is it "move to Dubai"?

At the risk of sounding utopian, I genuinely feel the gesture is more important than the amount. I know these guys work for peanuts so the £ helps massively. But I wonder if, more than that, they see any tipper as someone who gets it.

He came from Miami
