Great win in the end. The Afridi injury probably had a significant impact on the result but hats off to Ben Stokes again. Phenominal talent and character.

The West Ham semi-final is my lowest point as well. I think things affect you more when you are younger. I went by car with two lads I knew from Runcorn. They dropped me off at Runcorn station on the way back and the only train to Liverpool was a football special bringing Liverpool fans back...

Bubbles had a truly Dickensian story arc. His final rehabilitation was one of the few positives about the final series.

I find it impossible to choose between The Wire and The Sopranos. I rewatched The Wire in its entirety myself a few months ago and thought it held up really well - apart from the last series obviously, which was pretty awful. Bubbles was my favourite character and the episode where he tried to...

Jeez, her voice was that bad?

Sounds like he could be Homeward Bound.

The Kilburns were a great live band. They played the Black Swan (or Mucky Duck as it was known locally) regularly in the mid-seventies when I was a student in Sheffield. Dr Feelgood were another regular there and I saw the Jam in one of their first gigs there.

The Scousetrap was another, creative Agatha Christie based one as well.

A very enjoyable morning spent watching Lancs beat Northants. It was very comfortable in the end, with Williams and Sundar batting sensibly and only really giving one significant chance between them.

Djokovic could get vaccinated. He won't, but he could.

The forecast for the morning is cloudy and cool - expected temp at 11:00 is 18C. I live between Rugby and Northampton and will be heading over there in the morning with fingers and other extremities crossed.

You should sit out in it for a couple of hours. It will give you an idea of what awaits you for eternity when you kick off this mortal coil.

There were no raging fires and the temperatures were in the 30's. It went on for a few weeks and it was a great summer. Everyone enjoyed themselves. Not sure why you and Coollino are so obsessed with it now. Just enjoy the good weather we are having.
