Lovely to see @laurenlaverne.bsky.social as half a question and answer on @richardosman1.bsky.social House of Games this evening. Got it as well.

I don't see why this is a debate. If the rules allow players to be selected for any home nation side, then they should be eligible for Lions selection, surely? What's your view, @brianmoore666.bsky.social ?

My immediate thought on reading this was that Labrabors have somehow learned how to grow meat.

Mind you, they'd eat the lot rather than have the wit to sell it.
Lab-grown meat has entered the booming market for ethical treats, as if owners didn’t have enough to worry about.

Perpignan, French Catalonia.

I do love this little city. It's like a scaled down Barcelona. Lots of interesting bits and bobs.

This piece from Lewis stacks up. It's also horribly depressing.

You'd have thought that Bezos might've cleaned his ears out before the inauguration. But no.
