Rain stopped play, gentleman’s agreement to end the game. Win for the 3s but a moral victory for everyone but Evan Howe who shaved his hair after losing a bet. Took it like a champ. #howelongisit #boom

@martincowa4230 @ronny85400028 @afneil 🤣🤣🤣 inflation on tips !! We all pay inflated prices and you want us to tip extra pn top of the inflated prices. Most of us work like dogs and can hardly afford to eat out never mind pay even more.

This true story has generated a lot of untrue responses from the usual know-nothing Twitter pontificators. So here’s the full story. It’s 2013, I hosted a dinner for US contacts and journos in NYC in a rather fancy, expensive restaurant owned by a friend. It was a thank you. Not on expenses. I’m forking out — happily. Good people. A great fun dinner but the bill came to circa $1,000. Gulp. I paid by card and slipped the waiter, a young aspiring actor (as they tend to be in NY), $150 cash. I thought that was quite generous. Especially $150 in 2013 prices. More like $200+ today. Anyway he quickly returned and asked loudly and aggressively if there was a problem. No, I said. All good. Well, he said the tip was ‘bit light’. By now the whole table was looking at me and him. I panicked and bunged him more dollars. He departed without a word of thanks. On the way home my partner saw I was fuming with the embarrassment, almost humiliation. Call the owner, she said. I did. I didn’t ask him to fire the waiter but said it was an embarrassing/humiliating experience in front of colleagues and I doubt I’d go back to his restaurant. Perhaps he could have a word. I learned later he fired him because he had something of a trackrecord in this matter. I lost no sleep over that even if it wasn’t my aim. Ever since I’ve taken no nonsense from aggressive NY waiters. I’m from Paisley and can give as good if not better than I get. One waiter who subsequently complained about his 20%(!) tip found it cut to 10%. Tips are war in NY restaurants. Stand up for yourself. Don’t be mean but don’t fall over in embarrassent when they behave badly. And please don’t import this culture from USA to dear old Blighty. End of.

In which a wealthy man gleefully boasts about getting a waiter fired.

@abdisamira1 @PolitlcsUK they should have blown his head off never mind kick him..saved us taxpayers the cost of jailing him. No sympathy for any religion or colour if you stab someone you deserve swift judgement..

@KP24 @theElgrunn Are you really saying that just because Cook hasn't played in IPL he has no idea about how a batsman learns to play test cricket ? He came in at the top against the new ball and the best bowlers his whole career. He knows a bit about test cricket batting

Alastair Cook has absolutely NO IDEA what it's like to be in the IPL. What's it's like to always be around the best players in the world. So his opinion on Jacob Bethell doesn't matter at all. Stay in India, Jacob. I know, even though you're not playing, you're learning and will be a way better player. 👍🏻

@OfficialSLFL The SPFL say we should all gain bronze licence and then continue to pick their ex league friends for SPFL Cup competitions even though they rarely finish in top 10 of LL. Also clubs already in the league do not have bronze award. Glass houses and stones spring to mind.

@OfficialCatchup then perhaps these people should lead by example and when picking sides to play in cups they pick on merit not their ex league club friends

@ClayTravis The US is now one of the most vilified people in the world thanks to your President and the cult that follows him. I feel sad for the millions of decent US citizens who will feel the world's backlash unfortunately.

England banning Kanye West from entering the country because of his past comments is insane. No American citizen should be barred from entering England for any public commentary on any subject, no matter how offensive, period.
