I placed my onions on the floor, under the window by the door. The layers of nuance caught their eyes, the day I won The Turner Prize

We’ve had Hannah with an abacus, Blunt in the shower. What would your Traitors stance be? I’d do this.
Prince George (Blackadder)- hero stance.

Some fun facts about Sting: 1) Sting found fame with The Police (photo l-r: Stewart Copeland, Andy Summers & Sting) - a band of vigilantes obsessed with exposing everyday criminality. Relationships have been fraught over the decades but there is talk of a reunion.

Do love Horowitz’ murder mysteries and enjoying the Marble Hall series where Lesley Manville’s character tries to solve wordplay clues with the beautifully anagrammatical detective Atticus Pünd - A stupid cunt.
Lesley Manville and Tim McMullan as Ryeland and Pund.

Remarkable game with the scoreline flattering South Africa. Australia led by 25 points with 15 to go (can’t remember the last time anyone did that to SA) but then incredibly were down to 11 men for the last ten mins and just held on. Les Kiss has done an amazing job and the canary yellows are back.

Out of all the stats that are available, I often think this one is quite telling and highlights how well England played and how hard Spain had to work. Gordon, Anderson, Lewis-Skelly & Bellingham excellent but the back four needs a lot of work.

To be fair to Derby, ‘a glass of jizz’ is the perfect metaphor for what they’ve been serving up on the pitch this season.

Final one on Partidge’s phone-in. Frank says ‘Good joke.’ (Thank you very much). He then says he’s had a season ticket for 48 years and has one pint BEFORE kick off which reminds me of a time I went to Goodison to see Everton v Derby. A friend’s dad worked on the gate & said they’d get us in free.

Boronalli says ‘C'est ça un Premier Ministre, aussi nono que son électorat. ;)’ which I believe is French for, ‘If your Prime Minister was Australian, he’d be electrocuted.’ Something there, that we can all get on board with.

BRC 2 says ‘NFL watcher don’t do it.’ For those of you who don’t know, NFL is America’s leading sport where fans get drunk watching adverts for three and a half hours while some men in fancy dress stand on the sidelines.

Margaret says that it’s a terrible idea with children present. The flaw in Margaret’s thinking is she thinks it’s a 45 minute game so when she realises it’s actually 90 minutes she’ll probably agree that no law-abiding citizen should be asked to go 90 minutes without alcohol.

Controversial but understandable as it must be nigh on impossible to watch Everton sober.

Greatest athlete you might not know? Herbie Farnworth born in Burnley, Man U wanted him to sign but his real passion was rugby league so went to Australia at 17. Accepted as the best centre in the world by Aussie media, (some accolade for an Englishman) his form this year has been sensational.

Quick round-up of surprise starts not in the Premier Keague: PSG lose at home to Monaco and remain winless in their first three. Burnley lose again, haven’t won in 5 and are bottom of the Championship. Leicester lose 0-4 at home to Oxford and are struggling.
