Ashes lost - time for a cup of tea and a lie down. Just a few cracks papered over today….

The 2025 Festive 50 countdown will be done over two nights this year.

We’ll have a bumper show on Sunday 21st counting down 50 to 21 and then the top 20 will be on Monday 22nd.

Exactly times to follow but probably around 8pm starts.

At least that’s the plan!

Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.

Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph

Because this does NOT add up!

No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies…

🧵1/9

So #myiPod playthrough is nearly complete - You Won’t Find Another Fool Like Me is posted here because it was the first single I ever bought (with a record token I won in a kids BBC competition for my music-related joke)

Here we go again - Crawley and Duckett unlikely to accumulate runs calmly for the next couple of hours ….

Two overs and no wickets - are we in for a less frenetic night’s cricket today? #ashes2025

What a night’s cricket. I will sleep well today #ashes2025

England doing ok against county medium pacers Boland and Doggett

Test match progressing at a pace which suggests sleeping patterns won’t be disturbed for too long this weekend

Typical Crawley - 0-1 😡

Ok let’s do this #ashes

I feel like I’ve earned it 😀 Helps when you don’t have to be working the next day

Looking forward to watching the whole day’s play - if it’s interesting enough am confident I’ll be awake

Track 6400 from a free CD of David Bowie cover versions #myiPod

Should be more comfortable in less cramped, less orange surroundings when proceedings begin tonight

Likewise - time to adjust sleeping patterns for a few weeks
