What if you got seven mates together to drink seven pints of Hepcat, in seven South London pubs? And what if you called it The Hepcathlon? With a name that good, it had to be done. Join guest blogger Ben Jones for a new Olympic event, possibly. deserter.co.uk/2026/08/the-...

The World Cup is like taking the world’s best players, randomly dropping them into League One standard teams and then having them play each other. In other words, brilliant.

A wonderful piece of writing about the struggle to make writing pay and the reasons behind it. Madeleine did a work-in-progress stand up show at the pub recently. I now realise it was probably one of 50 things she did that week.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HORSES! IT IS HORSE BIRTHDAY! HORSE!!!!!

a screenshot of text from a website. it reads:

The History of the January 1 Birthday
The tradition dates back to the early days of organized horse racing, long before electronic timing and online records. Race organizers needed a simple way to group horses by age since a horse’s age often determines what races they can enter. Instead of tracking every horse’s exact birth date (which would have been a logistical nightmare), they decided that all thoroughbreds would share one official birthday: January 1.
