The Fairford Four Lions comparisons just stepped up a level.

BBC headline: “One of the five men arrested near RAF Fairford called 999 himself”

My Bloody Valentine are rarely a first choice of listen, but anytime “Only Shallow” comes on the car radio I go full volume without even thinking about it.

Think I’d be more likely to go to more cricket matches if there was a booze-free stand. Surely 45 minutes without a pint is an endurable hardship?

You have to wonder if this a decent journalist frustrated at her editors’ decisions, simply getting round them to cover a story that she feels ought to be out there. Feels like it.

Think the folk behind the Register have been struggling with data entry before broadcast. E.g., William Cecil, Lord Burghley was Elizabeth’s First Minister and covered in the documentary, but his entry lacks birth, death, political offices… britishslavetraders.org/individual/w...

Would you like your keeper compared to Asterix? “He’s really small, takes performance-enhancing potions, and punches attackers.” #totvil

Quote from BBC coverage.

Zion Suzuki's former goalkeeping coach Dennis Rudel, who worked with him in Belgium with Sint-Truiden, compared him to cartoon character Asterix.

Bogle had a great match last night, and deserved to be on the score sheet, but DCL’s header scored that goal. The keeper’s fingertips had about as much effect on the direction of the ball as Bogle’s hair did. #lufc

Daughter’s boyfriend went to the match this evening, and even had a brief “glum geordie fan” TV cameo. Looking forward to having him over for some food tomorrow - I am going to be insufferably hospitable and magnanimous. Bless him. (Thank you #lufc)

If you work at an oil major, I urge you to think hard about what the next decade will feel like. Do you want to greenlight another decades-long extraction project without reckoning with its full climate cost? Or use this moment to demand a different path?

Test highlights a nice way to end a busy day - Razaullah having fun was a great watch, but the whole innings was really solid. Sort of hoping Razaullah has a similar day with the ball and knocks over England tomorrow. Bollocks to Tebbit and his cricket supporter nationality test. #thecricket

Always found the twin media Doctors Van Tulleken insufferably smug - my folks were watching them on “Who do you think you are?” when I popped in….just in time to learn their ancestor was a slaver accountant, then slave ship owner, then leading plantation owner… substantially less smug now.

This guy came storming into Tesco in his aviators like he was after Mr Skinner, then popped to the toilet. Sadly no bonnet slide on his way back to the poorly-parked car, and I missed my chance to yell “No luck catching them swans…” Blue-lit out of the car park, turned them off on main road.

I would have happily wished Brendan all the best this summer - his heart’s in the right place, he’s tirelessly enthusiastic, and you have to admire his determination to return to Leeds after being so unwelcome when he did. But I don’t know what question Farke is convinced he’s the answer to. #lufc

Not keen on Brendan at this point. We’ve got plenty of choices, and that’s the one most likely to cause 30mins of anxiety. #lufc
