Sunday night, relax, feet up, legs resting on the table, watching who wants to be a millionaire. Don't judge me

Small wonder they're smiling! Henry Brookes and Will Williams added 191 runs for @Gloscricket ninth wicket today at Derby. This is their record ninth wicket stand against @DerbyshireCCC and just two short of Gloucestershire's ninth wicket record against anyone set by 193 by WG Grace and SAP Kitcat (a chocaholic, apparently) at Bristol in 1896. Derbyshire know a thing about ninth wicket records - we still hold the world record of 283 set in 1910!!

@WG_RumblePants @WisdenCricket I was considering going, I’m glad that I hadn’t booked anything yet. 🤨😤
English
@WisdenCricket Sorry, no. That’s absolute bollocks. It’s a disgrace that the sesquicentennial Test is a day night pink ball game. That’s called pissing all over the legacy of Test cricket. It’s not what Test cricket is. It’ll be a soulless, pointless tv cash grab.

Feels like a decent place to put a cricket pitch — if you could get a heavy roller up the hill.

Well, I’d anticipate his resignation as deputy leader of his party imminently. That’s how this works right? I know he’d never tolerate two tier justice.

Exclusive: Richard Tice’s company broke the law by failing to pay tens of thousands of pounds in tax on dividends that were paid to him and his offshore trust. He received at least £91,000 in excess payments as a result of the failure. thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…

@brianmoore666 You will enjoy this, a classical composers reaction to Firth of Fifth, he still maintains that it is his favourite Genesis song - youtu.be/BKlkYAT5Fkc?si…

I must admit to a mistake. In my Desert Island Discs I chose In The Cage as a track - it should have been Firth of Fifth.

@EmJay_Too @Rachelle_Hulme So let’s review the current situation. Trump invades Venezuela and gets cheap / free oil. The f**ks up the Middle East and ensures a $2m premium in every shipment leaving Saudi / UAE / Kuwait. The rest of the world facing increased production costs. Was this his plan all along?
English
So after thousands of deaths and billions of dollars spent, passage thought the strait of Hormuz will be under Iranian military management and Iran (and Oman) will charge a fee of up to $2m a ship. The art of the deal!

@brianmoore666 Beautiful, I appreciate this so much as I know you do. I love the fine line between the ‘prog rock’ label & the classical nearly orchestral nature of some of their music. If you have time look out for The Daily Doug on YouTube and his classical trained review of this music 👍🏼😀
English
For Genesis fans - this orchestral interpretation of their masterpiece - Firth of Fifth.

@smith_john81096 @PeteDudgeon1 @Parody_PM Some conservative pers and ministers made more money than this ‘total wealth’ during Covid 😱

@PeteDudgeon1 @Parody_PM Those damn millionaires . Also don't forget Starmers pension from the Cps is tax free but I suppose that's OK

In a stunning example of Reform efficiency, Nottinghamshire council spent £75,000 putting flags on streets because fiscal genius Lee Anderson said the cost would be covered by sponsorship. Except nobody has agreed to sponsor any.

In 2005, James Anderson (@lancscricket) dismissed David Sales of Northants.
In 2026, James Anderson dismissed James Sales of Northants, David Sales's son, who was only 2 years old when Jimmy dismissed his dad.
