Just saw three small foxes run across the road. It might be a sign...

...of no announcement.

Long putts and chips going in left and right on this back nine at the Travelers. Will be an exciting finish.

Meanwhile, there’s still two guys on the 18th tee who are just eager to get in the clubhouse…

Wow. Heck of a way to seal the win!

Loving this final round. Makes me feel better about my own game. Too bad the playoff isn’t a full 18 holes anymore.

My next trivia question. Has a major ever been won with a score over par? 

2007 US Open was at this course, won by Angel Cabrera with a score 5 over par.

Yes seems to be a tough course generally.

-4 was the winning score the at the last US Open at Oakmont. In 2007, the winner was 5 over par.

Tickets are unsurprisingly cheap for these matches. I've heard of people who bought into the advance ticket packages, and are now regretting it. The second hand ticket market for the first round matches near us is far lower than what FIFA wanted. Might grab some tickets an hour before kickoff, if the market bottoms out.

A friend of mine spent £15,000 on a recent holiday to DisneyWorld.  Is this the norm?   I was looking into it for my two boys when they are older but worked out even if I go in 6 years time, I will need to put away £100 a month starting now!

 

@Izzy I recall you went last year or so?

It's very easy to spend this much, but it's also possible to do Disney World at a much lower cost, and not sacrifice much on the experience. So many different permutations/combinations of deals that impact the pricing:

• Entry to the theme parks can be upwards of $125 per day, depending on the type of ticket you buy. Including a meal plan in the ticket can add more to the cost, too.
• Paid ticket add-ons/experiences can add up quickly
• Disney resort hotel prices can vary wildly, depending on the category of hotel, location, time of year you travel, etc. A quick search shows room rates of  1 week in August, for 2 adults + 2 kids, can vary from $125 per night to $726 per night.

My wife and I have just booked 4 nights there, in July. For two people, flights were $500 , rental car $400, and 1 day of theme park access is $250. Though if you stay at a Disney property, you can choose to travel without a rental car, since there is an extensive free bus network between resorts, parks, and more.

Guilt by association, with a wife who is a lifelong Disney World regular and knows a good number of the hacks. Happy to answer any questions!

Wondering if any bonuses from Chelsea on the KDH deal for getting top 4 or winning conference league? Grasping at straws, perhaps…

Checking for a red card?

Who else is watching this in Chinese?

Even worse, watching it in English, in HD.

Are Bilal and Wilf injured? Welcome to the future of LCFC if Ruud stays. I would be getting an announcement ready if I were in a position of power at the club.

Wilf is unwell, and Bilal has a family issue, says the commentator.

Off to Arizona next week. Several nights in both Scottsdale and Sedona. Sadly, no golf in Scottsdale on this trip. Great scenery and some scorching heat await.

If you were a Man United fan (shudder) you'd be furious with whatever this is.

They’re playing like this, against a team who needed 120 minutes to beat Tamworth 

Has Soumare advanced the ball with a pass…ever?

Pep going after Henderson???

White British passport holders (if you are one) will be fine in the USA, it's probably happy clappers scaremongering. I work in an office where there is frequent travel to the States and we have been given no advice to stop.

Correct. We're certainly limiting our domestic travel to states where we are willing to spend our money, but no observable issues with traveling due to anything like this.

I don't have the flights for the USA booked yet, and isn't the issue, they are behaving 'oddly' to incoming visitors, apparently.

First I've heard of this, including from family who work for the airlines and regularly fly internationally. Some airports are dealing with infrastructure issues right now due to runway works, but international flights aren't at risk.

That’s the brilliance of a set piece coach

Why was it so expensive?

Even here in the states, living within their geographic market, Other Half is priced as a very premium product. $25 for a 4 pack of 16oz cans is typical in a store. It’s very good stuff, but as usual, there are other good products below that price point. 

I’ll enjoy this 4 pack of an English-style mild for $15, and save the 9% double IPA for another night.

The promo photo for this one might even undersell how good this is.

Anyone bothering with this?

To watch Vardy, yes.
