you can't say you've lost a match if you don't play...

Never been Biarritz mate so can't compare! Beaches are amazing though. Love it there. There's a place we went to called Dune de Pilat not far from one of the beaches near Bordeaux. It's the tallest sand dune in Europe. Must admit that when we went, it's the best viewpoint I've had of a sunset and hundreds of people flock there each day (in summer, anyway) to catch a sight of how scenic the sunset can be. I'll get some pictures up later.

if anyone watches Taskmaster (on Dave), it's back on screens tomorrow

brown man sets off bomb. there, done.

nope

was at work today and set off a bomb to scare the guy who came back to work after a long lay-off. Luckily at the same time a tire blew and I got away with it. As no-one was standing next to either incident, no-one was injured. Lucky for them!

Good idea. My mate's brother played for Brackley last season and they had to do some ridiculous travelling. Now playing for Hemel and it hadn't changed much but for non league clubs it's hard enough as it is trying to pay for everything let alone travel the country when you're meant to be in a division where not much travelling is meant to be done! Hopefully this makes a difference for the clubs and introduction of a Midlands league is a good idea.

Not even Hudson-Odoi?

bit harsh

Chelsea have thrashed Arsenal in the FA Youth Cup Final. Currently playing the 2nd leg right now. it's 3-0 at the moment and 6-1 on aggregate.

i heard that Guerrero has committed more drug offences so they won't be playing him any time soon.

i'd watch out for @SirBalon. he's the reason Barcelona gets that 'pick-pocketing' reputation...

surprising how he doesn't say anything about Bottas doing that as well...

amazed that May hasn't walked yet as she's overseen it. Wishful thinking that May and Hunt follow Rudd out the door...

Big fan of Leclerc getting praise and credit but Alonso deserves some too!

Going back to Biscarrosse (near Bordeaux) in September

stewards on Verstappen/Ricciardo crash Yeah Ricciardo might have contributed, but nowhere near to the levels that Verstappen did.

I did ffs

relying on an automatic system which fails during the race. I know they're pros but it's one more thing to think about on a tough circuit. Maybe depends on how far they were out. If they're a miniscule amount out I think it'd be harsh.

bit harsh if they get punished for it I think.

there seemed to be a lot of DRS problems today. Was it an issue with certain cars or with the comms system that F1 has? Early on Raikkonen complained about it and if I remember correctly his engineer said there was an issue with DRS but couldn't hear properly. So couldn't work out if it was his car only or not.

apparently he didn't stop for long enough or at all
