Beautifully sunny day again. It’s just not football season weather. Perhaps football could just decide that it wants to restart the season in actual autumn. You know - what with it being a winter sport etc

I wasn’t critical of the tournament just what it does to all the other cricket. Which I still don’t like

Not clear how or if it will help people get on the housing ladder or if it’s just an HMT revenue raising exercise.

I am enjoying it this year. Still don’t love that there’s no international cricket in August but the tournament itself is pretty good.

i often suggest that folk who claim that β€œEngland is full” try driving from Penzance to Birmingham and tell me just how many sprawling cities & towns they see Vs miles and miles of countryside.

What they really mean is their tiny suffocating heads are full & their racist blinkers are on too tight
