Futtocks

BEPs (big effin' prawns), briefly fried, then baked for 10 minutes in cultured butter, smoked garlic and flat-leaf parsley. An interlude of very messy eating with hands. Some of the best shellfish I've ever eaten. The remains, below, after being baked as the start of a seafood stock or soup. Forks shown for scale.

I think Saints may regroup and come back strong as the season reaches the end. They have players who know how to handle the big occasions, after all.

Fast start from the hosts!

I'm more startled by the apostrophe.

DOL 28:24 MAN - still anyone's game with 6 minutes left.

Three Dolphins tries in very quick succession requires a re-write of the Many half time talk.

What a try by Fuller!

The catch-up games aren't available immediately, but they do all show up in time.

Thanks for your input. Barring one or two obviously weak efforts (hello Poland!), cutting five from last night's semi would have been pretty close at the bottom. Croatia are looking like a very good bet, while Ireland's is like a heavy metal Lene Lovich*. All entries are staged in the round this year, which some contestants adapted to better than others. *reference point for the teenagers, there.

Ireland's entry for Eurovision 2024. Yikes.

I don't really care about Snooker, but I had Kyren Wilson in a sweepstake, so yay!

The create was just the four varieties I mentioned above - anyone tried their Festbier? I'd expect that one to be a bit special.

Leopards turned zebras, like poachers turned gamekeepers?
