The Cricklet Almanack @cricklet.live · 15/08/2026
The Crickletverse seems to have broken since the Green Man's Auction. The London Hipsters are on a record breaking winning streak, the Chichester Romans are consistently breaking all the wrong sort of records at the other end of the table... But will the Monarchs still be able to win the league?

I think of Andy Burnham whenever I see this sign in Camden.
A north London terraced street. There is a No Entry sign with the qualification ‘Except from the North’.

There's probably never been a better time to remind you that when David Hockney first took his Mum to California she remarked 'all this lovely weather and nobody puts their washing out'.

Radio 4's election programme taking a 12 minute break at 12.48am for the Shipping Forecast is one of the many reasons why it's the jewel in the BBC's crown.

Last week, a gentleman returned this rather dilapidated copy of this famous book to us after 50 years. He had found it in his attic! Presumably this means there is a pristine copy somewhere in our libraries....
A picture of a rather dilapidated copy of "The picture of Dorian Gray" There is visible water damage to the cover and the plastic cover is yellowing. Obviously, not evident from the picture but there is a truly foul musty smell emanating from it!

In case you were wondering: Yes, there is a Jonathan the Great Tortoise angle to the Pam Bondi firing news.
Helena in Focus @sthelenafocus
X.com
Not only is Jonathan alive and well on St Helena, but during his time on the planet he has now seen off 76 US Attorney Generals, from the 11th Attorney General, Roger Brooke Taney, in 1832, to outgoing 87th Attorney General, Pam Bondi, in
2026. Jonathan is the great survivor.

Sarah Mullally is (or will be when formally installed) the first Archbishop of Canterbury to share her surname with anyone who played multiple Tests for England since Matthew Hutton in 1758. More recently Geoffrey Fisher and Rowan Williams shared theirs with one Test wonders.

Someone on the train had a call to which were all treated as it’s on loudspeaker. ‘Are you on the train?’ ‘Yes I’m on the train’ I’m just reminding you about the 3 o clock alert’. ‘ I know’. Alexander Graham Bell must be so proud.

Made the mistake of flicking on a news channel. Ah we’re at the White House where Tangoman has solved another war. Within a minute the Azerbaijani dictator is nominating him for a Nobel peace prize. I’ve switched over to S4C for the Eisteddfodt. It’s making more sense.

There has been a fair bit of discourse as to whether sports clubs do enough on this app, or whether it is dying of late, from #LUFC to Somerset CCC. For those organisations, it always has been a numbers game, and it is difficult to break the hold of twitter on them... THREAD.

Haven’t watched QVC in a very very long time, but I think I’m seeing an apprentice pitch for a job on there tonight. The way this whole ‘episode’ is playing out is bizarre to put it kindly. Entertaining for those laughing and lapping it up for now.
