Mandleson’s appointment was wrong.
But here’s some perspective.
The UK’s Head of State paid £12 MILLION to silence a victim of Epstein - essentially a victim of a grooming gang - in order to protect her son.
Why aren’t the media reflecting on this? @BBCBreakfast@BBCNews
Tony Greig ducks an Andy Roberts bouncer, England v West Indies, 4th Test, Old Trafford, July 26th 1976. Greig had a wretched series both on and off the field but shone in this match, scoring 116 and 76*. In his other seven innings that summer he scored 51 runs
Good luck to anyone writing the match report for today’s play. Tough to get 18 wickets (and counting) into one 800 word report. Blimey there’s a lot to analyse from what has been an absolutely mental day.
@PeterSwales2012 Derek Parlane is like Erling Haarland before Erling Haarland became Erling Haarland, Mr Chairman.
Lovely hair, too.
Derek is your man.
I will be releasing the travelling squad for the Isle Of Man Tournament shortly.
I want you, my fans, to decide on the final player.
Suggestions please.
Shout out to all those Club cricketers starting a new season today.
A special shout out to the batsmen who get a 2nd ball duck, then get to spend 3 hours stood in a field wondering what they are doing with their lives.
One thing I love about Britain is there’s always someone passionately claiming that the most random part of any food is “the best bit!”
Sandwich crusts?
“Best bit!”
End of a loaf?
“That’s the only reason I buy bread!”
Apple core?
“You don’t chuck that, do you? Best bit!”
Small overcooked bits of chips?
“Ooh, I ask for more of these! Best bits!”
Orange peel?
“Best bit, that! Chuck the the rest of the orange away!”
Skin on custard/rice pudding?
“Ooh save that for me. Scoop it up and drape it on my tongue. Best bit!”
Pork chop fat?
“Don’t waste that! Give it here and I’ll have it in a sandwich made with just end pieces of bread and some of your leftover baked bean juice (best bit of the beans, that)”
Blackened, rock-hard end of a garlic baguette with no garlic on it at all?
“You’re not leaving that, are you? Best bit! Send it my way…”
Used teabag?
“You throw the teabag away? Best bit. Lovely little treat to munch on after you’ve finished your drink”
