Really enjoyed this; it was short, but very different - whole cast of characters I'd like to know more about, too.

I find it difficult to imagine that two tennis players with as much a disparity in name length have ever met.

Step away from your window, Rogers Hornsby, and leave at your own chosen speed. Spring is here, baseball is back and the sun is rising over the horizon.

2025/5 - This was a peculiar one; quite intense. Very odd that Oakwell Hall made a late appearance.

2025/4 - Book 4; this was a slow burner, but it picked up well. Ended up enjoying it but glad to leave these characters and settings for a little while.

Just idling through a 1972 issue of @thecricketer.com at Cricket Archive and found this little snippet. Whatever happened to this lad with his peculiar grip?

2025/1 - Not sure how many books I'll get through this year, but I needed something light to start, and I note there's a new one in this series due soonish, so this felt a decent place to start.

Well, the Mantises left it close, but it was another good week for the Yadokai. Less good news from the NFL, but that's tomorrow's problem.

Do you want to feel, for a short while, as though it's 1996? Listen to 500 by Lush.
Once you're doing that, two minutes in, becomes The Hardest Thing In The World by the Stone Roses for a quarter of a minute or so.
It's one of my favourite parts of any song. I'd love more songs to be other songs.

Don't think I posted last week, but it's another good week for the Mantises and Yadukai - and both were successful last week, too. 😄

Found this nestled away on Sunday and felt it might be worth a watch. Taking it at face value, the world has a lot to thank Disney for - of not in the context, in the determination of Walt Disney to see things through. Bob Gurr was a standout, too.

We finished this series on Sunday; one of those that you're happy when the filtering process kicks in, as the remaining teams aren't as annoying and are definitely more appreciative of their experiences - and that side of things (the flight in the Alps) was spectacular.

Despite how it feels, Huddersfield Town are on course to have their forwards score more goals than their defenders for the first time in five seasons.
