Sell now or after the Finals?

The American mind cannot comprehend the pub cheese and onion roll

Six months ago I bought my son 3 tickets for Christmas to the World Cup France v. Senegal game on @StubHub. We have made all our plans to attend the game and spent a fortune. Now @StubHub tells me the seller doesn’t have the tickets and they will only give me a refund.

USA. A breakfast counter. The waitress recommended the biscuits and gravy, and when the plate arrived, I thought something had gone wrong in the kitchen. I say this with shame. The dish looked like a construction site after rain. Pale mounds. Gray ladle-fall. Speckles I could not identify. In my land, the eye eats first. A meal is arranged like a garden. This meal was arranged like weather. "Is it… finished?" I asked, carefully. "Honey, that's what it looks like." The man beside me was already eating his. He did not look up. "Just try it." I am a man who has charged hillsides at dawn. I raised the fork. I tried it. I must now formally apologize to the biscuits, the gravy, the waitress, the kitchen, and the entire breakfast tradition of the American South. It was magnificent. Warm. Peppered. The biscuit drank the gravy the way a field drinks rain — THAT is why it is shaped like that, you fool — and every mound I had insulted was a soft fold of comfort that my homeland, in eight hundred years, never once thought to invent. "Well?" the waitress asked. "I judged it," I confessed. "By its appearance. I am ashamed." "Everybody does, hon." Everybody does. A national dish that forgives you for doubting it. It expects the doubt. It waits for you on the other side of it. Do not judge the gravy by its face. Judge yourself, for hesitating. I order it every Saturday now. I no longer see the construction site. I see only the garden. It was a garden the whole time. The eye must be trained.

England national team's van containing match cleats and training equipment was stolen from while in transit from Florida to Kansas City. The FA are liaising with local police in an attempt to recover the missing items. (per @CraigHope_DM, @Jack_Gaughan)

If I were ever abducted by Aliens, the first thing I’d ask is whether they came from a planet where people also deny science.

Genuinely would love for someone in the airline industry to explain the impact of having a reclined seat for takeoff

We found another surreal place on our way. I know some people will say I’m too positive about everything I see, but this place was crazy. They had a shooting range in the store.

This is crazy. I've been sifting through Bricks and Minifigs/Legally Mine docs for hours - I tracked down the location much of this scheme relies on - a bagel shack in a random Alaska parking lot.
