2 - There are just two occasions of a team scoring first in the semi-final but not reaching the final of the FIFA World Cup in the 21st century – both of them are England (vs Croatia in 2018 and Argentina in 2026). Familiar.
England manager Thomas Tuchel looks dejected as his side lose to Argentina.

Worst thing is we don't have a prime minister to ask Fifa to overturn it.

I’ll be unveiling my ai art of a sleeping lion draped in a Union Jack in front of Big Ben being woken up by a little girl saying ‘we need you its time to wake up’ while some stirring music plays in the background shortly. Very pleased with it actually.

Man, Mark Nowak's statement. How good a person do you have to be, as the father of a murdered son, to insist his death should not be used to sow further division, and how bad a person do you have to be to trash his wishes and exploit his pain.

In many ways, the lads at Bitpanda are the real winners.
An advert for Bitpanda, the "official crypto trading partner of Arsenal FC", because football teams today need an official crypto trading partner. It helps differentiate from all those unofficial ones floating about.

DAY TWENTY-TWO: “RIGHT. Nobody goes home until we find these shorts. We thought we’d cracked it yesterday, but they were George from Asda, and also trousers”
Missing shorts
THE hunt for a missing pair of shorts has continued into its third week at Landscore Primary School in Crediton.
The school has reminded parents of the importance of labelling clothing after the M&S garment disappeared.

Graffiti and tagging are over. If you want real impact, use a label maker.
A sign outside Embankment Station in London, promising "New map coming soon"
Somebody has used a label maker to add a sticker underneath, politely enquiring: "Yes but when, it's been over a year!"

As part of a theatre studies degree, a friend had to say how he would solve a famous problem with a dramatic work. He chose Waiting for Godot and the fact everyone knows Godot never comes. His solution was listing someone as playing Godot in the cast list. Maybe he hoodwinked Mark Francois.

Lots of people sharing their favourite Glen Baxter cartoon. I can't pick one, but 35 years on, I remember the first I ever saw. I still love it now.
A cartoon of a woman peeking out of a window from behind a curtain at another woman. The second woman is standing in the garden, looking at a decorative piece of coloured rope, whichbis inexplicably suspended. The caption reads: "Alison was out there again, glowering at my tassel"

Just been approached by Huel to see if I'll be part of their paid influencer campaign. I don't think they're quite across what I do for a living. (FWIW, and in the interests of having influence, I regard Huel as a soul destroying, miserable product and the death of all that is worth living for.)

If the Iranian football team are prevented from playing at the World Cup this summer, the Nobel Prize Committee should give them a "Nobel World Cup" that they can claim is more significant than the actual trophy.

This sort of behaviour inevitably has British commentators hand-wringing and saying "Nobody likes to see that." If you don't like to see it, stand back so I can get a better view. I absolutely *love* to see it.

I collect names that also work as sentences. Tom Waits, Britney Spears, Gordon Banks, that sort of thing. It's rare the sentence is as apt as "Matthew Swindells"

The Greens are going to win. They're going to show that you can win despite all the media hating and lying about you. They are going to show so much of what we've been fed our entire lives in this country is just pure bullshit. Maybe not today, but possibly. Definitely soon.

I don't hate grapefruit but am annoyed by the etymology of the word. It's like they wanted to call it a grape, then added the "fruit" to distinguish it from the thing that was already called a grape. Without realising that the original grape is also a fruit.

Trafalgar Square in the rain last night. It's been 41 days of rain in the UK and while that means walking in #London leaves you damp and cold, the wet also helps highlight the beauty of the city.

I judge calendar years by whether they feature more weddings or funerals. 2025 was the first year in ages where weddings won. But we're barely three weeks into 2026 and it's 2-0 to funerals already.
