The funniest thing about reaction to this clip is loads of old folks not realising that this girl, who’s refined her wit on social media is taking the mickey.
Suggesting that the only alternative to being online for 9 hours is ‘staring at a wall’ is the best argument ever for getting kids away from screens in order to rediscover what the real world is.

Tragi-comic. You remember the incredible documentary about Taylor. Opening the curtains “ You wake up with the usual wet pyjamas “
1993, Rotterdam. Netherlands vs England in a decisive 1994 World Cup qualifier. Koeman last-man foul: clear denial of a goalscoring opportunity, should’ve been off. He stays on, scores a free-kick… and England miss USA 94. That’s why I never liked Ronald Koeman.

WIN a copy of @PaulTonkinson’s new book Running Through Sand along with a Beginner Trail Bundle from Harrier Trail Running worth £85. Join Paul as he takes on the toughest footrace on Earth, the Marathon des Sables. While training for the event, calves explode, tendons pop, knees disintegrate. Years come and go, time seems to be running out as the race seems an impossible dream and then, in 2024 when fitness is finally achieved, a freak accident. Paul is run over by dogs, hospitalised, all hope is lost… Spring 2025, the planets align. Tonkinson snags entry to MDS, two months till race time. It’s on – the last hurrah. Get the gear down from the attic, apply the toe jelly and find that mandatory whistle. With such little time to train, he can’t compete any more that’s for sure. So the question is more basic: can he possibly finish? Along with the book, kickstart your own trail running journey with the Beginner Trail Bundle from Harrier Trail Running. Equipped with essential gear like a race vest, soft bottles, and a mini first aid kit, this bundle has everything you need to take on the trails. By entering you agree that your email address will be added to both the UKRunChat and Bloomsbury databases. We will have one winner who will be chosen at random on Sunday June 28th.

Gut wrenching to see four young people jailed for direct action against an arms supplier to Israel. Years in prison for protesting to save lives in Gaza, with 'terrorism' used despite no jury convicting them of it. A truly dangerous attack on the right to protest.

Presumably he means last ?
“This is the best opportunity I’ll get in my career to win a World Cup” 😏
 Harry Kane feels he’s coming into this World Cup the fittest he’s ever been 💪

So nice of Sarah to not only come to the show but do a lovely post ❤️
We (Hayley Ellis and I) went to see the incredible funny Seann Walsh last night in Liverpool. He was absolutely brilliant. And we all got the belly laughs we needed. His tour is ongoing and well worth your time and money. Dates on Seann’s website. seannwalsh.com

@PaulTonkinson writes with an ease that draws you in and with a nervous energy akin to his celebrated comedy act. Just got to ‘The Hand of Dog’ chapter and, even though I’ve heard the story many times, I’m on tenterhooks! Buy it, no refunds!!

Why this monologue by @ColinBrazierTV is so invaluable is that it digs deep into understanding many years of policy mistakes that led up to horrendous circumstances of Henry Nowak's tragic murder. Rather than just reacting, we need to think deeply. This does. A must listen
The True Story behind the Murder of Henry Nowak. The week's Brazier, with @ColinBrazierTV. Only on @OutpostStudios.

My waiter had dementia and forgot my order. I visited a cafe in Japan that ONLY hires people with Dementia. It's called the Cafe Of Mistaken Orders. Sometimes the servers bring you the wrong food, never bring your order, or sit down and join you instead. But the point of this cafe is to be a place for dementia patients to feel needed and have purpose. And this cafe is working. Japan has discovered that being socially connected actually slows down the progression of dementia. So now there are 8,000 dementia cafes all over Japan! The U.S. should be more like Japan. We should keep elders out of nursing homes, find ways to give them purpose, and part of society until their last days.
