Pros and cons of Hyrox
Pro:
Genuinely challenging
Predominantly friendly people
Full body workout
Does eventually end
Con:
Literally a contraction of Hybrid Rockstar
There could be 1000 pros, and that single con would still outweight them. I'm embarrassed every time I register on a class

Zak Crawley must be really funny on the coach, because international cricket is not, and never has been a skill in his possession.
Every series I ask the same question; how many balls will he face for 0?

On Instagram, I offered a very dear friend my condolences following a familial death, and accidentally created a hyperlink to a gay bondage pornography website.
There's no coming back from this level of embarrassment.

I love #TheTraitors, but I'm not sure why it's trying to imply that Stephen Fry was summoned via a paper invite, as opposed to being paid to sign onto it. Or that he thinks it's real.

My phone autocorrected "Men" to "Ken" when typing out the title of my favourite courtroom film, and now I'm obsessed with the idea of Ken Barlow trying to free Dierdre by shouting "FREE THE WEATHERFIELD ONE" at 10 tired jurors and Henry Fonda in black and white for 96 minutes.

Bilbao review:
Pros:
Very pretty
Excellent food and wine
Free Palestine graffiti everywhere
The existence of Torrijas
Many dogs knocking about
Cons:
Not one single cat seen at any point
Old town almost exclusively smells of piss on Sunday morning, following Saturday night's revelry

Just got a notification from Google weather telling me it was raining (it isn't). It then asked me if it was raining, and after I selected "no", it sent me another notification to tell me it wasn't raining.
