Day 15 of #TheTwen2ie5

Another duo today. Very nearly made it into my bonus picks. A simple, catchy, brilliant little tune.

It’s a crime that Harry doesn’t have at minimum a weekly show on at the moment.

First saw them years ago at a festival when they were ridiculously young and already making a mix of brilliant weird stuff and bangers. Love this one.

Even more than in previous challenges when I’ve thought this anyway it would feel like some VERY deliberate choices were being made if somebody falls foul of the NKC this time around.

They were apparently in over 130 films together as a beloved Italian comedy double act. Seeing them in this one did not tempt me to seek out any of the others.

If you’re having a tough evening then here is Vincent Price disguised as a nun.

I’ve always liked Nadine de Klerk as a cricketer. There are some players who are just putting so much in that you really want to see them doing well and getting the rewards so it’s been nice to see her play such a massive role in getting South Africa over the line in the last two close games 🏏

Pick for today. Still battling a cold so something with a bit of energy to get me through the rest of the day with Marvin’s take on disco.

My first introduction to CMAT and possibly still my favourite although there’s plenty from the new album pushing it and one more to come on my list.

India in the best two games of the tournament so far and have lost them both. Going to be under a fair bit of pressure now for the rest of the tournament 🏏

Top individual scores in the World Cup so far for NSB, Alyssa Healy, Beth Mooney, Ash Gardner and Sophie Devine. Cream already rising to the top 🏏

Julius Caesar conquered Gaul in 51 BC and died in 44 BC, therefore all of Asterix's adventures took place over the course of less than seven years, probably much less since Asterix's chieftain was at the battle of Alesia, were it is probable Asterix and Obelix's fathers died. In this essay, I will

She went off with significantly less drama with no stretcher needed, but I suspect knowing Perry that doesn’t mean it’s anything other than quite bad as she isn’t one for leaving the crease unnecessarily.

Just noticed that John Campbell has got some runs for West Indies against India in the second innings so I’m going to just assume that Delhi is an absolute road this test match 🏏
