AVOID Helston town centre right now. A van parked out of the box near the Meneage Street zebra crossing means the double decker bus can't get past and the whole town is at a standstill. (And if you are the van driver please come back and move it!)

The football was amazing last night and we are so blessed to have brilliant commentators in the UK. John Hunt is one of the best and his world was ripped apart yesterday when his wife and daughters were murdered. Mark Chapman knows himself how brutal life can be at times. Give yourself a moment to listen to how he introduced the football after the news about his colleague and friend had just been reported in the bulletin before he started 💔

After 20+ years in journalism, another first today. I ask a woman for a pic of her and husband for a story. She sends me it. I do interview. We print story. She texts me today to say: ‘That’s not my husband, I must have sent you wrong pic’. 😳😂

POLAND DANCE AUDITIONS: “I’m really good at dancing” “yeah, we’ve got lots of those already” “high kicks, cartwheels, I can do the lot” “hmm” “well what do you need?” “we haven’t got room to bring the mic stands, how straight can you hold your arm?” “SO STRAIGHT” #Eurovision
This is the Polish singer singing into her microphone. But rather than a conventional microphone stand, they’ve got one of their dancers to chuck his straight arm in and hold it for her. Lazy if you ask us.

Everyone gets a news alert telling them to turn on the TV. We see a small concrete room. Mark Zuckerberg is tied up in the corner, eyes full of fear. A voice comes out of the darkness. “You answer to a new master now”, it says. The lights flicker on. It’s Tom from MySpace.

As the arts sector desperately struggles to survive, theatre bosses are advised if they put on a game of tennis during the interval they can sell as many tickets as they want.
