Shout out to Donyell Marshall Jr for looking exactly like his dad.

Having won over the hearts and minds of the British public - or the complete opposite of that, it's hard to tell - we will be back on your screens at some point in October. New flamingo shirt, same overall vibe. I'm sorry, Victoria. #onlyconnect

It's been a decade since I last overtalked and underperformed on a TV quiz show, so it's time for a new one. Here we go again. Only Connect, BBC Two, 24th August, 8pm. We're never beating the thruple accusations.

Now over to Harry Kane for a quick interview

Beautiful time to be English. Winston Churchill, fish and chips, Prince William, Three Lions fallen empires, crumpets, Factor 50 sun cream, Jude Bellingham, we've got it all. I might even like Wonderwall now.

Absolutely delighted to report that after four perfect hours, my stream died at this exact moment. I therefore have no idea how the fifth penalties went, but can only imagine they went really well and am thrilled by Arsenal's victory.

Had the dog now for five weeks and we finally heard him woof. It was at the sight of a cat. His first cat. Don't think he knew what to do, so he moonwalked, which tbh is what most of us do upon the discovery of any new information.

"If ever you get me a dog, that will count for like the next six birthdays and Christmases combined." Ladies and gentlemen, you are in the presence of the smug grin of a man who until 2032 is officially off, the, hook. Welcome Tyson!

Apparently the idea that several cultures could come together in American successfully confused BlueSky's automated filter enough that it thinks you're speaking Japanese.

No, really, that was it. All of it.

Few sneak peaks of a project I'm working on. The CBA FAQ is dead/in a permanent vegetative state; long live the CBA Glossary. Given my usual punctuality with timeliness and tendency to leave things unf, expect this to be ready just before the heat death of the universe.

@watsoncomedian.bsky.social of course, the most impressive part of the Beam's refurbishment was watching you open the show while standing under a wall-mounted collage of C3PO's nipples.

Thing is, a violation occurs as soon as a request was made, even if it is rejected. Per the CBA:

I received this slightly indelicate solicitation the other day. Stung a bit.

Considering all the fuss about him attending the draft, could Noa Essengue at least look like he wants to be there?

V.J. Edgecombe is at the draft while also apparently off to shoot a Boyz II Men video.

Today I learned that former Portland Trail Blazer Ha Seung-Jin is now a YouTuber, and does streams of himself playing 2K, telling NBA stories and maintaining a grudge against Terry Stotts, who he (perhaps jokingly?) blames for ending his Blazers career. www.youtube.com/@bigha/videos

Sometimes as a scout, you just have to see a guy and straight away you think "basketball'.

The Puerto Rican All-Star game is done with a domestic-vs-imports format. And the starting line-up for the import team has some NAMES.

Reached a new low yesterday by going to Tesco wearing two left shoes. It's sad when they get so old that their minds go, isn't it?

LinkedIn creating unnecessary tension with the connection suggestion. Don't try and pin this on me, I've got an alibi, never even met the fella.

If all else fails, I also got this. Something for everyone tonight here at Chez ShamBulls.

Be right back, just off to watch a film I found in the charity shop today.

Mustafa Shakur shares a nice story about the Thunder towel thing, which featured his company on them.

RIP Tony Slattery. I'm glad he was able to get slightly back out there over the last few years, but his was a tragic life of addiction for so long. On the plus side, he leaves us with a beautifully ironic Twitter profile.

Underappreciated part of the Vince Carter-Frederic Weis dunk might be Vin Baker - VIN BAKER - calling for the lob pass.

I have no idea how we got through what we got through this year, or more accurately the last two. We just sorta did. Yet here we are. Time for a binge watch of Squid Game to welcome in the new year, and here's to 2025, one which will blow all our memories of the sight of death's door to smithereens.

From the couple that just keep taking on life's most serious challenges and just, won't, die. It's been nothing but dubs for Bobble in 2024, and we shall keep on overcoming whatever life throws at us. Also, for some reason, I have tinsel pigtails.

The doctor said she thinks I have an eye infection. And I have to say, I think she's right. You can just make out a little swelling and discolouration.
