Bidding Room. What's the highest they've ever paid on the programme. Doubt it's ever hit more than a £1,000.

Thinking of getting an Arthur Dent-style vintage dressing gown of my own. Maybe even this Christmas. Has anyone already got one and can offer advice?

Oxford University Press has chosen “rage bait” as its 2025 Word of the Year. The open-compound word, which beat out “biohack” and “aura farming,” goes back at least to 2002. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/30/a...

The "doosra" was invented by Pakistani cricketer Saqlain Mushtaq. He is credited with developing the delivery, which is a leg break bowled with an off-break action, meaning it turns from the leg side to the off side for a right-handed batsman.

Surely it's time to retire both of them.

A little gentle housekeeping … Are you a person who would stand up in a movie theatre and shout: “I know where that was filmed?” No, of course not. Please don’t do the equivalent in Hookland. My DMs are open for questions, this timeline is not open to spoiling others immersion.

Chytrid fungus is a scourge to global amphibian populations, but before it kills some frogs, it can produce symptoms that may help the infected animals find mates and spread the fungus further

Jimmy Hagan, the manager who led Benfica to three consecutive league titles. Including an undefeated season in 1972-73, when the club's star player was Eusébio. The two shared a strong bond and lifelong friendship, with Eusébio describing Hagan as a strong disciplinarian whose methods led to success

Why on earth did Bowen not drag Paquetá away from the ref??
The ref gave him so long to stop, and Ali even intervened. But I don’t know why West Ham didn’t stop him.
That was so preventable. 🤦🏼♀️

I blame Jared Bowen and the rest of #WHU for not pulling paqueta away from the ref. Even Virgil and the Liverpool defenders/midfielders did a better job. That red card is on paqueta for sure but the team did themselves no favors by not keeping him away from the ref.

Paqueta hard done by there. You have to feel for him. Received 2 Yellows and a Red.
Should have received 6 straight Yellows for that performance. Maybe 7.
