3-0 up at half time, red card overturned by VAR, penalty against us overturned by VAR. Great succour for people with a four-decade long grudge against St Mirren (me)

The Weekend Match: Wingate & Finchley 0-0 Felixstowe & Walton United - All the World Is a Very Narrow Bridge
This week, we’re off to north-west London, where a club with a convoluted history have a home FA Cup match against a team who missed out on promotion at the end of 2025-26 by a very narrow margin.

For this week's #WyrdWednesday, an #earlymodern pamphlet on the #solareclipse of 1652 hailing the "terrible effects" "Black Munday" would induce. There were many of such fearmongering pamphlets.
The cover of an early modern pamphlet with a woodcut depicting three black suns nest to each other. The one in the middle has a face and is surrounded by the orbit of the fixed stars. Directions are indicated, and on each corner around the suns, there is a symbol, starting in the top left corner, then clockwise, with a sword, a plant, some crossed bones, and a skull. 
The title of the pamphlet is:
"Black Munday: or, A full and exact description of that great and terrible eclipse of the sun which will happen on the 29. day of March 1652 beginning 48. minutes after 8. a clock in the forenoon, and ending 17. minutes after 11. in which time the sun will be almost totally darkened (as at the passion of our Savior) and the stars appear in the firmament in the day time. Also as astrologicall conjecture of the terrible effects that will probably follow thereupon, according to the judgment of the best astrologers: it threatens the fall of some famous kings or princes, and men in authority malice, hatred, uncharitablenesse, cruell wars and bloodshed, house-burnings, great robberies, thefts, plundering and pillaging, rapes, depopulation, violent and unexpected deaths, famine, plague, &c"

The original naming proposal for Vulcans in Star Trek. Tag yourselves, I’m Spork.
Lcal UCHe.
AN PROPER NAS
I would like to suggest that all proper names for denize Spock's "PLANET VULCAN" follow a set routine.
To wit: all names begin with the letters "SP" and end with o
"K." All names to have a total of five letters in them - no s
no less.
Therefore: Mr. Spock aptly fits this pattern. Other names
as follows:
Spook
Spenk
Spurk
Spakk
Spuck
Sponk
Spawk
Spekk

Spilk
Spauk
Spikk
Spack
Spalk
Speuk
Spokk
Speek Spouk
Spelk
Spuik
Spukk
Spaak
Spolk
Spouk
Spark
Spilk
Spulk
Splak
Sperk
Spiak
Spirk
Splek
Spirk
Spunk
Spark
Splik
Spork
Spank
Spork
Splok
Spurk
Spink
Sperk
Spluk
Spxyx
Hope that the suggestions are of immense help to y
I remain,
Your humble and ober
