42 overs according to Athers.

Guess the bowlers are going to have to do something pretty special in the last innings then.

Wholly agree but it's still better than Prime or NowTV.

And all the chip shops and ice cream vans in Edinburgh used to be Italian-owned/run too. Less so these days but they still exist.

Unless they’re 90% lower than normal price, I’d avoid. I was a tart and wanted something fancy looking a couple of years ago. I’ve a £30 old school oscillating fan that does a better job than the Dyson.

Not fully available for a few weeks yet but of what's up to stream so far (10 out of 23 tracks) I'm quite enjoying this:

The Prime Minister/Pig episode was largely filmed on my old university campus at Newlands Park (Bucks) just before the demolished it. It was so odd seeing the place I’d not been to in years.

Typically the flag-waving throbbers are already out in force with their "stop the boats" responses on twitter.

Yes but think of all the repair bills for all those church roofs. Poor lad will be penniless.

Depends if you actually want to stay in London or if you’re just looking for an easy in/out. When I used to live in Brum, I’d stay in Rickmansworth, Chorleywood or somewhere on the tube. Then it’s an easy jump back onto the M40. Also, more people will be heading south back into London after the gig. If you’re looking to stay actually in London, hotels in The City (the financial district) are generally good bets at weekends as they’re a bit quieter than those in the West / West End.

Just had a belter of a thunderstorm down in that they’re London. Was supposed to be in the park with my personal trainer but he didn’t want to accede to my demands of standing 20 feet away holding an umbrella in the air to keep me safe. Somewhat typically, five minutes after we agreed to postpone, it all stopped and it’s back to being all muggy again.

Two things stood out for me. The apparent lack of involvement in bring in Emery and the more recent interview with Beth Rigby. The latter sounded like a retrospective of his time at Villa at times so I'd kinda presumed he'd be away at some point. Not saying I was predicting it, as I thought his shareholding might be a complication (although NSWE would easily be able to afford to buy him out). A net positive during his time here. There aren't many people who do that kind of job without a few mistakes but where we were five years ago compared to now is definitely in part due to him. He should go with our thanks and appreciation.

Another Champions League winners medal for Scott Carson.

30A baby!

I’m not sure even Ron could pardon him for these ones. Am I being naive?

I’ve just ordered one of those to wear on the beach in Florida in a few weeks. If I don’t post on VT in July, presume I got shot.

Never seen it. Any good?

If you ignore the unnecessary branding, these are actually the dog(g)'s danglies.
