UEFA figured it out? UEFA? This is a real low point. Yeah, this one hurts.
It truly is neat that the climax of the Odyssey, arguably the greatest western epic, is “Odysseus gets home and goes Kingsman mode on 50 guys who’ve been trying to bang his wife”
Shaking hands with a bunch of luminaries in a receiving line but every time I should say "pleasure to see you" I demurely make one of the classic Schwarzenegger Distress Noises.

I have a very visceral memory of bingeing Derry Girls intensely enough that my internal monologue started sounded quite distinctly northern Irish, and I remember having to work Very Hard to not let it seep into my usual speech, as can you imagine the confusion for all involved
