I'm a United supporter and my wife's family all support City. I convinced her to name our son Frederick because it's a family name. Fred got shorted and now he only responds to Red. It is petty and stupid but cheers me up no end when we have to go the in-laws.

For those keen to know, those 5 minutes and 38 seconds will dissipate over the course of the next 2 weeks. Next Friday, the stretch will be 1 minute and 22 seconds, and the Friday after that it will 0 minutes and 0 seconds! The 2025 stretch will start on the day *after* Friday the 13th. Seems apt.
