You can improve the appeal of any sport by adding 'horse' to it.

Horse football.
Horse cricket.
Horse chess.
Horse wrestling.
Horse golf.
Horse triathlon.
Horse Iron Man.
Horse curling.
Horse bobsled.
Horse synchronised swimming. (I think this might be the most powerful example.)

They're also great for making a passing jogger giggle by shouting "fuck off back to Canada!" at them while shaking your fist.

As per the recent experience of, um, a friend.
I love the noise Canada Geese make as they fly overhead and their instinctive communal sense of aesthetic organisation, plus the way that not one of them will ever barge in on social media with their opinion on a piece of writing without clicking on the link to find out what the piece actually says.

LIVE: #HalfManHalfBiscuit – O2 Ritz, Manchester, 30/01/2026

"There is nobody like Half Man Half Biscuit, and I’m not sure what we’d do without them." Steven Doherty www.godisinthetvzine.co.uk/2026/02/02/l...
LIVE: Half Man Half Biscuit - O2 Ritz, Manchester, 30/01/2026 - God Is In The TV
Some bands you see quite regularly, a few times a year at least. For myself and Half Man Half Biscuit, it’s more like the Olympics, as they only play live

Novelist, having written a memoir: I prefer to view my life as a fiction.

Translation: I am making shit up to make my life sound more dramatic, my enemies more foolish and myself far, far more interesting.

My favourite part of a visit to an otter sanctuary is the bit where the otters stand respectfully in silence for their national anthems.

True story: the one time I ate at The Ivy was in 2008 and I got knocked over in a papparazi scrum as they all rushed the door for someone famous. An ENORMOUS photographer scooped me up and said in the strongest Scouse accent I've ever heard: "sorry love, you got pap smeared"
and i hope they had a lovely time!!!

I believe the correct response is 'hell, yes'.
We've been having some wonderful @acerecords.bsky.social themed playlists recently and we've been having a whale of a time! 🐳

We've recently stocked up on lots of Ace gems from across the musical spectrum in Rock N Roll, 60s Soul, Spanish She-Pop & more

Here's a small selection ❤️
