I’m literally the only man here who isn’t a speaker. A massive proportion of these women will have husbands and boyfriends - why aren’t those men interested in supporting their partners?!

Spending today at a menopause event in London. I figure if my other half has to be going through this then the least I can do is find out more about it myself.

Tickets went on sale at 12.00pm. I clicked "Join the queue" as 12.00pm ticked over. How are there nearly half a million people already ahead of me?!

Why is buying a new car so ridiculously complicated sometimes? And why do some salespeople think that they're doing you a favour?! Mate, not only is it literally your job, you'll get paid a shit load of commission just because I decided to call you. The least you can do is be helpful and polite!

My four kids went to the cinema recently to watch Spiderman and it cost them £58, so I'm definitely checking to see if my local one is doing this promotion.

And she’s only 13 years older than Tom Holland too. I guess they were able to take a few liberties with character versus actor ages!

If you've just realised you might not be able to watch the semi-final because you've got golden circle tickets to see System of a Down and Queens of the Stone Age on Wednesday night then that would be a hell of a coincidence, as so did I.

KFC advertising has to be some of the maddest shit on tv. None of it makes sense, and then they change it to something even weirder.

It’s alright, though - they’ll suspend the red card for Quansah for a year so he can play in the next round, right? Right?!

Pro tip: Hot water bottles can work both ways - the water inside doesn't need to be hot. Pop some water in one and stick it in the freezer. You're welcome.

Small detail - just noticed that the NZ shirts mention both Ireland and England, which means they’ve used the same shirts for both series. Thrifty.

Cancer is something that affects so many lives, and causes more heartache than anyone should have to go through. Even if all you can donate is a pound, that would mean the world to me.

Like the three peaks one, only harder. Because clearly that wouldn't have been hard enough. It's going to be brilliant but brutal, and I can already feel my knees seizing up at the mere thought of it. But it won't all just be for the fun and the story - we're also raising money for Cancer Research.
