The problem for 40-summat men who don't know how to dress is articles like this. Why would I trust a writer who admits he might be dressing like Jeremy Clarkson? Who ignores designers like Thom Browne, Terry Singh and Marc Jacobs and then laments the choice in men's clothing?

Good to see that my beloved L'OM are not going to be any more consistent than last year.

Whatever happens in #EngInd, I think it still shows that test cricket is still the premier form of the game.
Like, Pickled Onion Monster Munch in a dayglo packet* has its place, but there's nothing like a chef-prepared three course meal.

Memo to England's lower order:
If the ball isn't going to hit the stumps, it's okay to leave it. You don't need to hit six boundaries in an over to finish the game off.

The thing about this England team is that the chance of us polishing off these 50+ runs in five overs and the chance of us being bowled all out in five overs are fairly equal.

I'm starting to think that with "The Fury", Brian De Palma invented TikTok. Every 30 seconds of this film is a random event, unconnected to the 30 seconds immediately before or after it. It's more stream of consciousness than Inland Empire but only half as coherent. 📽️
