Remember being in a restaurant in the US and on the menu was Soup du jour. To the waitress, "What is the Soup du jour?", her response "It's french, it means Soup of the day".

There’s a reason why Yang could never get anywhere near the first team, and is now a consistent starter.…and it’s not because he’s suddenly got a lot better ☹️. The board have shrunk the jersey.

Shocking. Player sliding in comitted a foul too, so if VAR denies the goal they should have then awarded celtic a freekick and a red card for the defender being the last man in a goal scoring position.

It's no wonder our NHS is in a state. A&E is packed with people all with broken arms from trying to nab a quick swan snack.

Could journos play the same game perhaps? “I spoke to a taxi driver who says you’re a nonce, prove to me that you’re not one.”

Yeah I thought that too, but I'm guessing we have some missing commas, so:

never really watched Miami Vice first time round, might have to give it a go.
But I hope that episode is as good as when Boy George guessed starred in The A Team. That episode was quality (or at least my memory thinks so!)

What was the tv quiz show back in the 80s where they had a round playing Hyper Sports (or possibly it was Track & Field)? Fond memories of that!
(But I always liked the original Wonderboy in the arcades, could make 10p last a pretty long time).
