How rabbit holes work: I saw this comment, thought "ooh, interesting," looked it up at our local library (I'm community-minded and cheap!). Didn't find it, but did find this, and I now I'm reading a book where poet Emily Dickinson solves murders www.goodreads.com/book/show/59...

On the TV commentary, you can hear someone in the background yelling "shoot!" about three seconds before he does. I turned to my wife and said "'Shoot'? That's daft."
Which is just one of the many reasons I am neither a commentator, nor an accomplished sportsman.
Great stuff. Well done Scotland!

The BBC Scotland commentary for Kenny McLean’s halfway line goal is glorious. Stuff of dreams. 🔥
Congratulations #Scotland, see you at the World Cup.

In our patch we have more secondary places than there are currently year five pupils. So in a couple of years we get the sequel to this story.
(And we aren't building enough new homes to make up the difference by then. Yes, people do move, but not that much.)

This is a great story about a remarkable club. It's touched on here, but worth saying how keen the club are on supporting the local community. We did a community health event there recently and the club went out of their way to help us. Great people and a good day out if you want to see some footie!
Stevenage are currently the most overachieving club in the Football League.
With the help of the owner, sporting director and manager, I found out how a club builds to be its best.

What a great idea. Other sports bodies should get into this too: the Lawn Tennis Association should award a literature prize; World Rugby can do economics and the FIA should have an annual physics trophy. The UCI, sadly, has the experience to award chemistry prizes.
A new peace prize will be awarded at the World Cup draw in Washington, D.C., on Dec. 5 that recognizes "exceptional actions for peace and unity," soccer's international governing body FIFA announced today.
Trump teased as possible first FIFA Peace Prize winner
"On the 5th of December, you will see" who wins at the World Cup draw in D.C., Trump ally and FIFA president Gianni Infantino said.

I can only really understand what this would have done to the bits of London I know well because I've lived or worked there, but.. bloody hell. It would have ruined everything.
London's Ringways are a whole network of unbuilt urban motorways threaded through the capital. There's never been a complete map of them,not even one made by their designers, until now. Today we're publishing the Ringways Map from @roads.org.uk to let you see in the city that London nearly became.

Crown Court is the sort of thing we miss now, not just for the show itself, but the opportunities it provided. Cheap to produce (one set!), but it's a great training ground for actors, writers, directors etc. We're missing this sort of pipeline. Plus it was genuinely dramatic and unpredictable!
You are off school and Peter Wyngarde and Bill Nighy are facing each other down in Crown Court.
They used to put this stuff on at lunchtime!

urgently need you guys to know that this French politician below 1) didn't know he'd been appointed as a minister until he saw it on TV 2) reacted by going: "bah pfff voilà"
Le nouveau ministre de la Ruralité, Michel Fournier, raconte avoir appris sa nomination à la télé
Le plus vieux ministre nommé sous la Ve République précise avoir discuté avec le Premier ministre «deux jours avant», sans que rien ne soit arrêté. «Comment j’ai réagi ? Bah pfff voilà», résume-t-il.

Make all the jokes you want about strings and how the mouths move, but this is an all-time opening sequence. We lost something when we stopped making credits sequences designed to make viewers jump up and down on the sofa. And that music...
