Killer cut-out pass!

Anyone running a sweepstake on how soon the first complaint will be after coverage starts?

Bullseye is back! For a one-off special at least, hosted by Andrew Flintoff. I assume that if it goes well, a series might spin off. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c981n1gjzylo

KR, by a gnat's crotchet. Bloody hell.

Have you ever met a sports fan before in your life?

Fine here too.

"Respect" has become embedded as a supporters' song. Love it!

I'm currently reading A Load of old Balls: The QI History of Sport and it mentions the "flying wedge". Mainly in the context of American Football and how doing away with it reduced the number of deaths per season by about half, but it also mentioned that both codes of Rugby tried at and had it banned. I've seen footage of Parramatta doing it and I'm glad it's a thing of the past.

I first got glasses in primary school. Without glasses, anything further away than 20cm/8" is blurred. In middle age, my eyesight has fluctuated - sometimes a little worse, sometimes a little better. My employers pay for my eye tests, and if I only needed glasses for work (not in my case, sadly) they'd contribute towards the cost of the glasses too.

Playing charades 'til the train arrives.

Traditionally, the "mincemeat" filling actually contained meat. Does anyone actually sell the traditional kind? I'd be fascinated to try one, whether I liked it or not.

Libby Morris, trying to mime "Floodlit Rugby League" on Give us a Clue. She gives it a mighty effort, but her team-mates are clearly not sports fans.

Even the Daily Mail covered the event... at least from the perspective of "OH MY GOD LOOK AT ISABELLE KELLY'S DRESS!!!"

Herbie Farnworth has just won a Dally M medal!

Herbie Farnworth wins a Dally M!

Not actually watched the Dally Ms before, but it's on WatchNRL so what the hell.

Slightly more recently, on the 2nd of October 2014, the first episode of Detectorists was broadcast.

Donated and shared on Social Media.

Twitter is saying that the cartoonist Ed McLachlan has died. Never knowingly tasteful or safe, his work was a big part in shaping my sense of humour.

From the Imperial War Museum, volunteer subjects from 41 Royal Marine Commando engaged in a field exercise after imbibing the hallucinogen LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) at Porton, 27 November - 4 December 1964. https://film.iwmcollections.org.uk/record/4389

Reminds me of the Church of St Latrell (formerly known as Souths), who have also had a season to forget and probably for the same reasons.

Maguire tends to be solid on the discipline and organisation front, which is what Brisbane could do with. Plenty of talented individuals in that squad, as their recent GF appearance proved.
