When is McGonagall night? This is art.

It's hard to know which is better, the pier length or the sales pitch for the boats being cheap and grand.

Whisper it, but I'm starting to be won round to the Horne/Graham bench giving some explosive energy towards the end of a match.

Exciting news for anyone hoping to patent the plot of other dystopian sci-fi novels

My first daughter was born in the pandemic, so the transition from lockdown to the constraints of having a child felt mild. My second daughter is 6 months old, and I think if there's one thing it's taught me, it's to never, EVER, take draught beer for granted.

There is still plenty of time left to apply to be our new Coalition Manager - deadline for applications is midday on Friday 27th February! 👇

The sass of the person writing the minute by minute on England v Scotland is to be admired

So that's probably him here until the World Cup. I've been very vehemently "Townsend out" for a while, and this summer's Newcastle vacancy feels like a good opportunity for him to save face and the SRU to save a payout. One good result risks locking us into another 18 months of mediocrity.

Going into this week it felt like there were 3 outcomes for Gregor Townsend:

We finish 3rd (or, whisper it, higher): He keeps his job.

We finish 4th: It comes down to the results.

5th: He's gone.

This result makes 5th less likely, and probably is enough to make 4th palatable for enough fans.

I genuinely think this basically secured him for the rest of his contract. Even 4th place with a Calcutta Cup win will be enough for some people

Already got England fans messaging me saying "if this is the price we have to pay for Townsend to keep his job".
Really kicking us when we're up

Nice little red card to settle the nerves before the usual second half bed shitting

*learning from experience and forcing the hope down for my own health*

Scottish craft beer brand Brewdog put up for sale Consultants Alix Partners have been brought in to oversee the sales process which could lead to the businesses being broken up.

I really dislike Brewdog but it's hard to find pleasure in this. The losers will be people who put hard earned cash into a brand they believed was different, before watching it sell out and the founder swan off with a pile of cash from private equity and big business

Had the pleasure of drinking Brewdog at a charity do once: Found it surprisingly down to earth and very funny.

Well that goes without saying

What role do shoes take in this? Are they fish tanks, or predators?

!! … ah

Two people in tight red, white, and blue tops and black trousers, lying on top of eachother on a luge. They're clearly going fast downhill

I love how many Winter Olympics sports have a rogue hurdle added.

"Ok so ski over all these bumps... Then do a flip off a ramp."

"It's cross country skiing... But you get bonus points for doing a ski jump first"

a Norwegian man crying on air while being interviewed, with his biathlon stats besides him

In the interview with NRK, he first started by thanking everyone who has helped him on the path to his first individual Olympic medal. And then – unprompted – he made an admission: – And then there's someone I wanted to share it with who might not be watching today. Six months ago I met the love of my life. The most beautiful and kindest person in the world. Three months ago I made my biggest mistake and cheated on her, and I told her about it a week ago. It's been the worst week of my life, he says tearfully in the interview.

Today's Scotland match really brought out the inner Mark Goldbridge in me

Scotland have literally nothing to lose by sacking Gregor Townsend mid tournament. Let Newcastle have him. What has he brought us

GM: Charisma check.

Mamdani: [rolls natural 20]

GM: that’s a d6 how did you

Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

The crossfield kick to set up that try was phenomenal. Plays like someone who has grown up watching Finn and other modern 10s, but impressive to have the guts to attempt that stuff at his age.

Reminded that this France team suck most of the competitiveness out of this tournament by being all tournament, but you can't begrudge them it.

Whilst avoiding injury at all cost

It's great, hopefully some are just keeping warm for potential first XV call ups if needed in the tournament
