Can I just say that Head c Crawley b Tongue is one of the most revolting-sounding cricket dismissals I've ever seen #Ashes

Verdict: I'd get them again
I bought these sausages a few months ago on a whim, and put them straight in the freezer. I guess it's now time to put my mouth where my money is.

Today I learned that Isa Guha has a masters in neuroscience, which must come in pretty handy dealing with the circus of her fellow commentators. #ashes

I was trying to work out how much the Lions would need to beat Collingwood by in order to overtake Melbourne on the #AFLW ladder. Answer: too much. Just win then eh? Go Lions #aflwpieslions

Patrick Troughton is a brilliant Doctor Who but his stories are mostly very dull, repetitive or childish, or a mixture of any of these. His era doesn't hold a candle to Hartnell's in terms of breath of imagination and variety.
Tell me your most unhinged Doctor Who opinion. I mean, if you’re a fan, they’re likely all unhinged anyway.

You gotta* feel for Trump missing out on the prize. He should maybe try to get a few more 15-possession games next season

* No, obviously you don't gotta

Very sorry these warriors of our football club are leaving us. They'll forever be Brisbane Lion heroes and I hope are applauded the next time they step on the Gabba.

Brandon Starcevich and Callum Ah Chee, Lions fans salute you.

In about two hours my beloved #AFL team, the #BrisbaneLions, will play off for the biggest prize in Australian sport in front of 100k people. I'm a bundle of nerves but I know win or lose we've had a magnificent season and we'll be back better than ever next year. #AFLcatsLIONS #GoLIONS

Only a special kind of person would actually believe the superstition that the captain who releases the cup last at the #AFLGrandFinal parade will be the winner, but I was stupidly relieved to see Lachie Neale make sure his opposite number had let go before doing the same, haha #goLIONS #believe
