Absolute joke that Vladdy was voted the starting 1B for the all-star game. The farce of the all-star voting system

So we're at the All-Star break. Bitterly disappointing season so far for the AL champ Blue Jays who are 45-51, in the basement of the AL East. And yet only 2.5 games out of a wildcard spot. Does not say much for the quality of AL teams this year!

Wouldn’t say no to Mick Channon

Would recommend watching Sam Neill in The Dish - surprisingly brilliant film

Is it a traditional hockey thing to throw caps onto the ice when a player scores a hatrick?

At my school we had to study Rogue Male by Geoffrey Household for English Lit. When I first read it as a 14-year old I couldn't really appreciate it, and in fact didn't even realize that it was Hitler that was the would-be assassin's target (Hitler was only referred to as 'The Great Man'). The book, written in the late 1930s before Britain and Germany were at war, makes no references at all to 'Hitler', 'Nazis' or 'Germany', but some clues are dropped into the text. Much later editions of the book (well after the edition we had at school) didn't bother disguising anything and even had Hitler on the front cover. Apparently at the time of publishing the author/publisher thought it would be too politically sensitive to name countries and foreign heads of state, and they didn't want to inflame an already tense pre-war situation. Later on in life I was able to appreciate the staggering psychological depth of the book and it became one of my all-time favorites.

Is that the same as the Saga Of The Exiles? In the 80s I read (and still have copies of) 'The Many Coloured Land' and 'The Golden Torc', but for some reason didn't continue. Maybe worth a re-visit!?

Respect! And if I wasn’t a Packers fan, I would probably be a Bills fan..

I see the Habs are currently sticking it to the Sabres. Go Canada! 🇨🇦

Not a big ice hockey fan but have watched the Leafs live on a couple of occasions. With the Leafs nowhere to be seen, is it ok to support the Canadiens for these playoffs?! I just want to see a Canadian team win it!

Nathan Lukes and Max Scherzer join the IL. Jays looking pretty thin on the ground

Now George Springer injured for the Blue Jays, fractured big toe. I think this season is already turning into a write off!

2nd and 3rd . Iroko would have netted me £122

I'm going Grangeclare West and Iroko, plus a few pence on Jordans and Montys Star

Much needed win, that one!
