Good luck Matt. Top tip - have big load of spare strong black bags. Keep your kettle and tea bags together in clearly marked box for arrival. Have cleaning stuff out and ready to clean on departure (if not paying cleaner)

Unless he's chained up in the tower with bread and water for dinner, I'm totally against it.

Thank eff there was no football during biblical times or they'd be claiming their defeat was against God's will 🙄

Does the layabout family of unearned privilege need to get their snouts into everything. Universities should know better.

Drawing from a wide range of examples, it examines how sport is routinely employed to generate public support for the military, particularly through campaigns and rituals linked to national remembrance and troop appreciation.

Framed around a clear thematic arc spanning power, politics, media representation, sociological interpretation, and ideological paradox, the book provides the first comprehensive resource on the sport-military connection in a British context.
