Bean LJ can presumably now keep his eye out for the appeal from Stacey in order to relist the adjourned appeal

If the wind gets up, it could provide the perfect opportunity to take the 5km time down by a minute or two (though it wouldn’t be legal for IAAF purposes)

Had a pretty top view of Joe Root reaching his century today. Alas stopped filming just before he paid tribute to Graham Thorpe.

You should have joined me, @michaelsalter.bsky.social and @mattjejackson.bsky.social in the crowd to will them on. Your name was not unmentioned during the course of play.

Great stuff. I wonder whether fellow sexagenarian runner @seanjones.org considers this a #humblebrag.

Pah! What do you know?

Always good to finish off a risotto by stirring through a good quality goats cheese.

Did you speak of the Woolf Reforms just to hammer it home?

It sounds to me like the experiment is scientifically worthwhile.

Can you and @seanjones.org not just instruct a swarm ofmidges to descend and to engulf him on arrival?

This means we can force 8 year olds to spend 12 hours a day shovelling coal on heritage steam trains?

I knocked on the door for my friend and Amy Winehouse opened it whilst in the middle of vocal practice.

Alternatively, 1984 Olympic gold medallist Tessa Sanderson nearly ran me over as a 10-year-old when pulling out of her driveway.

Did you get a little too over-enthusiastic during a rendition of "I'm a pink toothbrush...".

Relatedly, Max Bygraves was once engaged to the mum of one of the secretaries at the 1st solicitor I worked out. I think you win this one.
