Can't wait for the comments tomorrow from Reds, moaning about Doucoure! Yet not one of them will recall Klopp's sprint across the Anfield turf with anything but fondness. Strange, that. #UTFT #NSNO #EVERTON

James Watt Brewdog's CEO is worth £262,000,000 he is refusing to raise the wage of his staff in London by the £1 an hour to keep them at the National Living Wage. Brewdog is apparently a 'nice' company, but wage freezes don't seem very nice. Do they?

"Yes darling I really am going to keep this in the wardrobe for when I need to record some coarse foliage sounds because the other box of packing material taking up space in there is for finer foliage."

Watching Michelle Obama dance at Jennifer Hudson's show yesterday made my day. Love her.

It’s the time of year for mentioning one of my favourite ‘untranslatables’. ‘Poronkusema’, in Finnish, once denoted a distance of around 7.5km, which is roughly how long a reindeer can last before needing to urinate. ‘Poronkusema’ means ‘reindeer pee’.
