I hope Burnham gets a decade in power and we can have some stability. Projects seen through to completion not just money spent rejigging and restarting. Has anyone calculated the cost of having seven PMs in ten years ?

Well I never expected to see an actual ex of mine live on the pitch at the World Cup but there he was. This halftime show has now been bad enough for my nerves, can't imagine how bad it is for the footballers.

In case anyone's about to ask what Madonna knows about football, she relocated her whole family to Lisbon for several years when her son David Banda was playing for Benfica juniors.

Someone told me this afternoon that England and France were going to let each other score five goals each to stop Messi from winning the Golden Boot. Ha ha I said nice conspiracy theory. WELL!

Haaland didn’t score a single goal against us! Fucking hell well done everyone! (I‘m posting this from a boat in the Adriatic where the radar keeps cutting out so it’s possible I’m watching a quite different game)

I see there's more debate on here about where The North and where it starts. Of course Cheshire's the North. But having been born & raised in Yorkshire (undeniably north! Capital of the Danelaw!) & attended only local state schools my peers still viewed me with suspicion cos I had southern parents.

Some kind of architectural award due to the creators of this newbuild infill house - they've invented the inverse bay window! Closer inspection of the floorplan reveals it's more like French windows (ie a door) but still, that first photo, amazing: www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/9...
