Alex is a guest on this podcast about sporting misadventures.

Notes from the podcast.

Alex mentions the Horne Section podcast and said it took a lot of preparation to do and it basically cost them money to do, hence why they don't do it any more, even though they'd like to do it again.

Alex says his family went to Canada on holiday for a month and it was the best holiday they've ever had.

Alex said he wanted to be a sports reporter and started to persue that at University but wasn't really good enough. He then asks if they've started the podcast and apologises a lot when he realises they have (he's so sweet).

He talks a bit about not being very sporting but spending a lot of time trying to come up with silly games and making TV formats from those ideas.

Alex says he played golf with his 14 year old and that his son beat him (with a handicap, he mentions). He also talks about not being very good at golf.

He also mentions his Dad setting a challenge for him and his brothers to try and beat him at squash at tennis by a certain age.

Alex talks about the concept of Taskmaster and the origins of it. He says with the show, he has to come up with 70 tasks a year and called the rule to never repeat a task 'stupid'.

Alex talks about a book they got with games to play on holiday and describes some of them, including Eyemaster and Mr Freeze.

He talks about wanting to be a journalist the same as Rachel, but he couldn't take it seriously and says he was doing stand-up comedy as a hobby as well at the time.

He talks about the origins of The Horne Section. He says that a lot of people think he can play an instrument and that he writes all the music.

Chris Hoy talks about when he heard the Horne Section's song Chris Hoy loves a saveloy and Alex apologises that they didn't ask permission first but luckily Chris really loves the song and wasn't upset at all.

It's mentioned that Chris met Tim Key before he met Alex and Alex refers to Tim as his former friend (he's clearly joking).

Chris and Alex reveal that when Chris was on the podcast, Alex hadn't told the band or Tim (Key) that he's asked Chris to say that he hated one of the songs and get in a huff about it and everyone was really awkward about it because they thought it was genuine.

Alex says he invited Peter Crouch to his birthday but he didn't come. He says about his and Tim's shared birthday at the pub.

He talks about Chesham United.

Alex talks about the charity football match and how he injured his finger 4 minutes in.

Alex talks about when he was filming cricket on horseback that he tore his hamstring playing rugby so he spent a lot of time limping about during it.

Alex also talks about getting smooshed by a couple of horses as a kid when he was at a polo match and having to go to hospital. Understandable why he was so nervous around horses when he did cricket on horseback now.

Dertig jaar geleden: Florian Rousseau is (zogezegd) de eerste wereldkampioen op de kilometer

Volgens de Wielersite was de Fransman Florian Rousseau (foto) in 1993 de eerste wereldkampioen op de kilometer met staande start. Dat kan ik bijna niet geloven. Alleszins was hij in 1992 al wereldkampioen geworden op die afstand bij de juniors en dan stel ik vast dat deze titel al sinds 1977 (de Oost-Duitser Rainer Hönisch) werd toegekend. Bovendien was er in 1906 al een Olympische kampioen over…

"The best fantasy audiobooks for adults sweep readers away with deft narration. I cannot recommend them more for fun listening.

Audiobook sales have skyrocketed over the last five years. As of 2023, audiobook revenue grew to $2 billion, continuing the trend of growth in the space. With the rising accessibility and affordability of audiobooks through apps like Libby and Hoopla, as well as the growing collection of audiobooks on paid platforms like Spotify, Audible, Libro.fm, and Audiobooks.com, it’s unsurprising. It has never been easier to listen to your favorite books.

There is nothing better than listening to heroes conquering proverbial or actual dragons in fantasy worlds. Or, better yet, listening to those dragons get vengeance because they were never the bad guys in the first place. Whatever the story, a good audiobook can completely change its reception.

It’s important to point out that what makes a good fantasy book does not always make a good fantasy audiobook. So, I took into account how the narrator or narrators sounded at regular speed as well as 2x, 3x, etc. Sometimes a narrator sounds excellent, and then you want to get through the chapters a bit faster and realize you cannot understand them at all in 2x. I also took accessibility into account so all the fantasy audiobooks for adults included in this list can be found on Spotify Premium, Libro.fm, Audible, and Audiobooks.com."

AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: Babel, (or The Necessity of Violence: An Arcane History of the Oxford Translators' Revolution) by R.F. Kuang, Narrated by Chris Lew Kum Hoi & Billie Fulford-Brown

I have finished my review of #Babel by @kuangrf (courtesy of #NetGalley)- what an absolute delight!

4.75 🌟 (rounded to 5) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 5 out of 5. PLOT: This book focuses on our main character, Robin Swift, who is taken from his homeland of Canton as a child after his mother’s death by a mysterious scholar named Prof Lovell to study languages. With nothing to lose, his situation appears to be an improvement on the poverty he experienced back home – but it quickly becomes apparent how…

Well, isn't that convenient?

Princess Kate is eyeing up her next public appearance, as she’s keen to head to Paris to watch some of the 2024 Olympic Games. The Princess of Wales has made two major appearances since her shock cancer diagnosis at the start of the year, stepping out at Trooping the Colour in June and the Men’s Singles Final at Wimbledon a month later. Kensington Palace has not set a date for her to return to royal duties, as Kate revealed in June that while she continues to undergo chemotherapy she has “good days and bad days”. But she wants to make the most of feeling well and endeavours to attend events over the coming months if she feels able to. One such event is attending the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, as a source close to the princess reveals she is keen to travel across the Channel to watch some of the action. “The Princess would love to go to the Olympics," they said. "She has such fond memories of London 2012 and is keen to go to another Games while it's so close to home.” The newly-wed couple were regular faces at the home Games, as they were jubilant when Chris Hoy secured his sixth Olympic gold at the velodrome and also enjoyed watching the tennis, hockey, swimming, athletics, gymnastics and football. But the insider was keen to stress that no decision has yet been made as Kate’s attendance is conditional on her health and whether her doctors give her the go-ahead. This mirrors the approach taken when the Princess attended the Wimbledon men’s final last month, as aides only confirmed her appearance the day before. Prince William is expected to travel to France to watch some of the Games next week, and as his children are currently enjoying their summer holidays its likely that their two eldest, Prince George, 11, and Princess Charlotte, nine, will join him.

Yes, it's not confirmed at this point (02 August 2024) that Kate will attend the Olympics, and, yes, this is published by a UK tabloid. However, the effects are just the same.

It doesn't matter if it doesn't pan out, and she doesn't attend. The perception of her right now is that she would do something like this, even though she is allegedly being treated for cancer.

Did you know that there is a subreddit called "KateMiddletonMissing"? It has 7,400 members currently, which is undoubtedly a larger number than the surviving Wales "fandom" on tumblr. Numbers that will likely increase over the coming weeks and months while Kate hides from the public. There is a thread discussing this rumor of Kate attending the Paris Olympics, and people aren't buying what Kensington Palace and Kate are selling, even if she has no actual plans to attend.

And what is the top comment in this thread?

"I don’t believe she ever had cancer"

That's the top comment. That's the perception of Kate among people who follow British royals enough to join a subreddit but are not blind followers of the drivel coming out of the Kensington Palace comms team.

And take photos of all the family frolicking on the beach jumping 8 foot over spiky plants. But too ill to partake in any cancer charity work. Hmm 🤔

I'm kind of hoping the French play Gojira's song about Marie Antoinette on the big screen while Kate and/or William is at the Olympics. They're really shameless to claim abdominal surgery in January to skip work until Easter, but then changed it to cancer when things got heated. Now they're playing the cancer card, cherry-picking glamour events, and putting it down as 'work'. Instead of helping cancer patients and creating awareness about testing and getting symptoms checked, Kate has only showed up at the Trooping, the Wimbledon men's final, and now possibly another men's tennis match featuring Andy Murray. These are not decent people.

She's crap like the rest of them. You'll never convince me she ever had cancer.

This is absolutely bonkers. No one cares about the optics of this, which is wild to me. Is the, "They're Diana's boys, such a tragedy," well of sympathy and sycophants ever going to run dry??? Kate being adjacent to this and a direct recipient of it.

Watching tennis on the royal box, sunbathing in mustique and not giving a ficking damn about not working for anything is a well known treatment for cancer.

My opinion only. Kate is totally complicit in all of this. I don't see how she's under duress or in any way being forced to tell the world she has/had cancer. She shows up at two major events looking fully healthy and smiling. Quite a contrast from the "bench video" where she looked pale and spoke in a somber tone. I believe that was also the one and only time that she has said anything about others having cancer. It just doesn't look good at all and seems disrespectful to those struggling with cancer.

Even in the much larger RoyalsGossip subreddit, which forbids any speculation on Kate's "health condition," has comments in disbelief about Kate's "cancer diagnosis."

Impressive that her medical team is okay with her attending crowded sporting events during treatment but recording a short Zoom video for a patronage is too much to handle

And especially now that there’s a spike in Covid cases. I know sick people who are not allowed to go to crowded places.

Interesting that's she is well enough to travel to Paris but not to do zoom calls eith her patronages? Or support her charitable endeavors? What about the First Five Years?

They don't call her "Duchess Do Little" for nothing

So she still can’t do any real work but can attend men’s sporting events. We see you Kate

It's really only the Wales fandom who buys the "health condition" excuse about Kate coming out of Kensington Palace.

Oh, yes Charles and Camilla "are wearing down the monarchy." LOL!

Charles and Camilla are doing their actual jobs while William is on vacation all the time.

Just more proof that the Wales fandom lives in their own Disney-esque Puritan bubble where Charles & Camilla are terrible because their first marriages didn't work out. Except even Camilla has done more work than William ever has as a working royal.

Except actual Brits (instead of fawning twenty-somethings in Latin America) believe William is the one "wearing down the monarchy."

Because more and more people are not buying the story Will & Kate have been telling people about themselves.

Most people with functioning brains outside the Wales fandom can see through Will & Kate's problematic behavior.

Looks like the shit is going to hit the fan regarding Will & Kate's reputations later this month.

Can't wait.
