Someone help me out, my sarcasm detector isn’t functioning properly today, and I am not sure whether or not this tweet from the person I helped get elected MP for my hometown is serious:
If this is a wry joke, very well done, sir.
If not…sigh.

Come On, Tim!
Andy Murray continues to impress at this year’s Wimbledon tournament, prompting this riposte from The Daily Mash:
The increasingly efficient Scot has seen his comedic form dip as he continues to make the final stages of competitions without falling over anything or having bits of his body drop off and explode.
Murray said: “Hopefully I’ll get wrapped up in the net, flapping about like a big, sulky dolphin. Or maybe I’ll just deliver a forehand smash to my own testicles.
“If I reach the final people may start thinking of me as an actual tennis player.”
Says Andy’s coach:
“I want to turn Andy into a trophy-capturing automaton that gets to the Wimbledon final every year and goes two sets up before turning into a dyspraxic jumble of pale, hairy limbs.
“It’s going to be fucking hilarious.”
Jinx.

On Independence Day
A happy 4th July to all of my American friends.
A wonderful, jazz-inflected version of the US National Anthem performed by Branford Marsalis – one of my favourite renderings.

I wish I could get hold of a complete version of the Gould/Bernstein/NYPO video recording, if it exists.
