Bloody hell, this is exciting. I take back everything I said about Archer!

I knew nothing about Kronstadt. Thanks for taking me down a Google wormhole, Dkh.

The fragrant Nancy Birtwhistle advises this spray on site of urine/faeces to deter canines: 200ml water 50ml vinegar 30 drops peppermint extract or oil Put in spray bottle, use daily for a week.

That was my impression of an archetypal fitter requesting a strong cup of tea.

Put the Yorkshire on luv!

My lord, that was a fascinating video.

Well, what do I know? Jofra Archer is in the squad!

"PGC, do you reckon this 'Anderson -Tendulkar' series could make Tests a bit more interesting to the wider word?" Alas no. Until it comes back to terrestial telly, I think it will always suffer from elitism(?). Excepting The Guardian, cricket is barely mentioned in other press. I am fortunate in that my daughter has just added me to her subscription on NOW TV. It has been great to watch this test; it really could have gone either way, eariler in the day, which always makes it more exciting. The only bugbear is that I am a TMS afficianado, and they are about eight deliveries ahead of the tv! I thought Tongue was excellent in mopping up the tailenders, and Duckett was a delight to watch. Bumrah and Jadeja were brilliant to see. I'm sure the Edgbaston crowd will have tremendous supporters for both sides. PS: I don't think Jofra will be back on the strength of one county wicket.

Could it be dog pee that has done the damage?

Huzzah!

Am I the only one to mourn the loss of Poundland? Will no one think of the peeps who need to buy cheap cigarette papers and filters in bulk?

Shame they didn't quite reach 500. Will England declare overnight?

I can't link, but Daily Mail has article on Brockwell Park possibly having to cancel events after court hearing. Just checked, Guardian has reported it too!

I haven't eaten there, but on Instagram the vegetarian food from Persepolis looks scrummy. At a talk I went to, Sally Butcher and her husband cooked wonderful tasters so I can rate their food.

I saw "A Man for All Seasons" at Canterbury a few months ago. It was superb and surprisingly, Gary Wilmot was excellent. It is coming to London in the autumn and is well worth a trip. Wed, 6th August 2025 to Sat, 6th September 2025 Harold Pinter Theatre

My dentist has moved to Peckham High Street. They now have fab rooms and have employed more local people.

Artichoke Place, same side as the Green.
