Great to see the bow twirling still with a full house and very enthusiastic yoishos! 😊 #sumo

😊 yes, it has been good fun. It would be a good niche show, we've has nothing since a few series on C4 in the late 80s/early 90s. A few streamers show the full bashos on Twitch, btw - not that i would ever watch a dodgy stream 😇

I'm being harsh - i'm glad they are applauding the exit though, the entrance was deadly silent for about 2 minutes and sumo crowds are not like that at all!

What ho, Wednesday! Today is P.G. Wodehouse's birthday, born on 15th October 1881. Get yourself a cake, raise a martini, pull the autobiography off the bookshelf and have yourself a blast. #wodehouse #martini

It’s the 111th anniversary today of the birth of Harry Rée, who was a teacher and conscientious objector when the Second World War broke out, and by the time it ended, when he was 31, had invented ‘blackmail sabotage’ and got a DSO, an OBE, a Croix de Guerre, and a Medaille de la Resistance
