Halfway through 2022, what a thrill
Welcome back one and all, a pleasure to have your company again, except those of you who still say ‘pinch, punch, first day of the month.’
Well, after the fanfare of number 300, it’s very much business as usual this week.
Solidarity this weekend with anyone else fearing for the fate of their favourite Stranger Things character. If a certain Murray Bauman doesn’t make it to season five then I may have to take some compassionate leave.
That aside, Wimbledon is on, Test match cricket is on, gigs and festivals are on. This is it people – we’re in prime summer.
So kick back, drink it in, and quiz with us once more as we hurtle into July.
Enjoy.
