Annual reminder of how many days there are in each month.

Mnemonic

Thirty days hath September,
April, June and November.
Unless a leap year is its fate,
February hath twenty-eight.
All the rest hath three days more,
excepting January,
which hath six thousand,
one hundred and eighty-four.

Today’s poem is called ‘How Much I Dislike the Daily Mail’.

How Much I Dislike the Daily Mail

I would rather
eat Quavers that are six weeks stale,
blow dry the man bun of Gareth Bale,
listen to the songs of Jimmy Nail,
than read one page of the Daily Mail.

If I was bored
in a waiting room in Perivale,
on a twelve-hour trip on Network Rail,
halfway through a circumnavigational sail,
I would not read the Daily Mail.

I would happily read
the autobiography of Dan Quayle,
1001 Things You Can Do With Kale,
selected scripts from Emmerdale,
if it meant I didn’t have to read the Daily Mail.

Far better to
stand outside in a storm of hail,
scratch a blackboard with a fingernail,
be swallowed by a humpback whale,
than have to read the Daily Mail.

If I was blind
and it was the only thing in Braille,
I still would not read the Daily Mail.

This sport throws up great quotes all the time but Lando Norris saying: "I've done that before, in Mario Kart," after watching a clip of Max Verstappen deliberately driving into George Russell in the cool down room is a clear all-timer.

Though trust United to be involved in a refereeing error. Despite it being very uncertain if Villa could have held on given the chances (18v4) and being down to 10 men and still 20+mins left, we'll have weeks of coverage dominated by the what if, and how they have been robbed. #MUFC

Chris Hudson @itschrishudson.me · 25/05/2025

The end of a terrible, awful season with a positive. Needed a little luck, but we totally dominated the game & should have scored much earlier. Villa were very poor but that was one of our best performances even before the red card. Let the squad clear out begin & bring on next season. #MUFC

Would love to know what was actually said. The sensational headline is 'find a new club'. If he's been challenged on his post match interview that was hardly committed, I think it is fair. If he doesn't want to be at the club, then go, regardless of potential talent or how good he thinks he is.

Just awful until Amad and Mount came on. Amad's ability to take on and beat a defender makes such a difference, and Mason had easily his best performance in a United shirt. Both have to start in the final. #MUFC

Incredible effort by Mark Williams to make something of this final but Zhao is a worthy winner, he played some fantastic #snooker, and to take it from a round 1 qualifier to the final is quite amazing.

However the king of cask I've found in Denver is Hogshead Brewery. Some incredible beers here and up to 9 lines of cask. Their ESB and best bitter have been huge highlights.

What's even more frustrating about Onana is it's almost exactly the same errors. He's either palming it back onto the penalty spot, or completely misreading the flight of the ball and diving out of the way. Really disappointing after what was a pretty good and comfortable performance. #mufc

Can’t see how you can possibly keep starting Onana at this point - costing us results or at least giving it a fucking good go almost every week. That one could be ridiculously costly

Urgh. I'll take what was overall a positive performance but it's the same old, we just cannot break teams down and score. As soon as Forest went to 5 at the back it was always going to be difficult. Only Citeh at home next eh 🤦 #mufc
