I don't think refs and VAR get enough credit for their running commentaries. I used to 'commentate' in the stand for a blind girl, and it is really hard work. Plus, you are so busy with the factuals that it leaves you little room for bias!

He's not learned the parenting lesson, that you don't threaten your toddlers (viewers) with something you're not going to deliver: "We'll send the navy to Norway to get our ship back, just see if I don't."

Always thought I'd need to concentrate on the intricacies of the lawsuit to read Bleak House, but 150pp in I find it is the opposite. Even the wards of court, who are the principal characters, haven't a clue. 750pp to go...

I am a fan. No "ambient" music, wall TVs are on silent with subtitles. The only thing left to solve is the inconsiderates who fill the space with their facetiming, phone calls at top voice, and the videos with sound that they play aloud. Not a problem in #TheBull from what I hear! #thearchers
