Don't care about politics (whether X or Bluesky); X has more sports interaction than here,but X is too much of a cesspit! A simple response to a sports tweet from a journalist results in so much bile. Unchecked racism and hate!Apparently all you need is a paid blue tick!😡

Churchill. Lauded as some great War Hero.
BUT IF it weren't for roughly 1M Indian/Commonwealth soldiers used as Cannon Fodder,and yes,the Americans... No way in hell Allies would have won.
Churchill so great he was turfed out of office in 1945!

"Without us, you'd all be speaking German (and a little Japanese perhaps)" Donald Trump told national leaders at Davos yesterday
However, 45% of Britons think the Allies would have won WW2 even if the USA never got involved - only 15% agree with Trump

🤔 Depends on the sport IMO.
Boxing and international cricket were on terrestrial TV... And now they're not. And in both cases, it has suffered with youngsters' enthusiasm.

Weak storyline; Ridiculous ending; and the GenZ angle ruined it;

As opposed to hearing it in French? Or better yet... Slovenian, or Serbian!? 🤦🏽
I like the NBA touring Europe generally, but I don’t know how I feel about visiting London. Can you imagine listening to a British person try to describe a dunk? Awful.

Just finished #RentalFamily. I like Brendan Fraser - but this movie is all over the place. Not a Rom-com, not a comedy, not a 'Lost in translation' tribute act... Just a nothing salad. Pass.

Sobering reality talk about cricket in America;
And, sparked a WhatsApp group debate around Inzamam (averages 49, but no defining knock vs Australia)

Just watched #theRip on Netflix.
This film coulda been so much better. Started off with Usual Suspects/Reservoir Dogs vibes... But then went downhill midway. Double cross stuff was weak. Deserted streets in Hialeah? Has anyone from Netflix ever been to Hialeah?!

The Christmas sandwich.
Turkey breast,Bacon, Stuffing,Pulled Turkey thigh,fried onion bits,Mayo. (No cranberry sauce! Hate the stuff!) With a pot of gravy!
Shame I have to wait till December for Sandwich Sandwich in London to bring it back!
(Otherwise: I love baguette, butter and good Euro cheeses!)
