What a story! What a man...
🇨🇻 By day, he works as a bus driver and electrician. By night, he proudly represents Cape Verde as the nation's starting goalkeeper.
His story is a reminder that for many players from smaller footballing nations, the dream doesn't come with million-dollar contracts. It comes with early mornings, long workdays, and unwavering commitment.
Balancing everyday jobs while competing on the world's biggest stage, these athletes embody the dedication, sacrifice, and determination that make international football so special.
Football needed a story like yours and thank you for giving us one that we'll carry with us long after the final whistle 🇨🇻⚽️
Josimar José Évora Dias, commonly known as Vozinha, is a Cape Verdean professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for the Cape Verde national team.

How to live medieval times in 2026 during the Palio di Siena 🇮🇹

Palio di Siena 🇮🇹
The Palio di Siena Twice every summer, the Tuscan city of Siena, Italy, travels back in time a few centuries. These complex and thrilling days of preparation and festivities are known as the Palio, a horse race with medieval origins that dates back to the 1600s.
Ten of the city’s 17 distinct neighbourhoods (or contrade) compete in a heart-stopping, 90-second spectacle around the Piazza del Campo. The event is a deep-rooted cultural tradition that dates back to the 17th century.
The Palio is a biannual event which takes place on 2 July and 16 August each year. In the three or so days leading up to the race, locals and visitors gather for la tratta. This is when the participating horses are selected, the warm-up trials take place and celebrations and excitement begin to build.
Because the ward chooses the jockey, but the horse is assigned by blind luck, la tratta determines the fortunes of le contrade for the race. A highly favoured horse sparks euphoric celebrations in the streets, while a less promising draw is met with sombre silence.

What sort of motorcyclist is SH, then, and whatever possessed him to choose that particular type of guest?
Cue "Sweet Emotion" by Aerosmith—that iconic 1975 hard rock anthem born entirely out of tension and interpersonal loathing. Perhaps that is SH’s own vibe right now: a bit of toxic tension bubbling away beneath the surface. It appears he is navigating a rather delicate situation regarding personal boundaries, self-worth, and relationship dynamics. Deciding whether to accept someone's glaring limitations or live in hope that they might change can be deeply tedious 😵💫
It’s time to grow up, surely? An antlered moose. Seriously? Did a certain animal choose motorbike, and he tagging it for a laugh? Or perhaps the "sweet emotion" of a ride through Gallo-way—which included the animal beside him. If so, the man has a sense of humour. It was all a bit of a "pinch-me" moment.
Naturally, this is a textbook sunk-cost fallacy. The longer SH lingers in this "randy adventure", the harder it becomes to make a graceful exit. He will likely cling even tighter to his position and swallow his own fabrications. After all, admitting the truth would mean acknowledging that the time, effort, and resources he has already squandered were an utter waste.
SH’s guest is clearly struggling with a specific manoeuvre—one absolutely vital for basic motorcycle control and safety—yet he remains blissfully unaware, offering zero correction. Precisely when he ought to be passing on seasoned riding tips to his companion, he chooses instead to behave like an overgrown child. Forward-mounted pegs allow a beginner to stretch their legs. Granted, mastering tight cornering takes a bit of practice—a fact that, predictably, completely eluded her. Or is "mastering tight corners" simply another fictional skill she claims to possess, and he foolishly swallows whole?
In all likelihood, he is well aware of her distinct lack of skill and simply chooses to look the other way. If he possessed an ounce of sense—which is highly debatable—he would wait until she demonstrates something resembling solid proficiency. One mistakenly thought he had a sharper mind and slightly better judgment.
He could offer his guest some advice on riding style. But, as always, that’s rather pointless when he doesn’t know much about it himself. Why doesn't he announce the final leg of the route where his guest disappeared in the photo? The motto here is simple: motorcyclists ride out together and arrive together, without acting like a bunch of muppets over the weekend.

He is an ordinary man who seemingly threw his toupee on in a rush. Speaking rapidly and blinking frequently are signs of his overloaded nervous system. Yet, listening to him repeat the same anecdotes across countless interviews—including one of his latest Adventure Bike Rider features—is like being stuck behind a scratched vinyl record. It would be refreshing if he occasionally had something new to say.

BTW, England 🏴 by ferry ⛴️ You must be more specific. The distance between Ireland and Scotland is much shorter than that between Ireland and England; their views are completely distinct. The shortest gap across the North Channel is only about 12 to 13 miles (19 to 20 km). By contrast, the shortest direct route from Ireland to England crosses the Irish Sea, which is a much wider expanse of open water.
First look at the Hollywood film "Tenzing," based on the life of the first Mt. Sagarmatha (Mt.Everest) summiteer Tenzing Norgay, has been revealed
The film, shot across Nepal, stars Gendenrgay Phuntsok as Tenzing and Tom Hiddleston as Edmund Hillary.
Produced by Apple Inc., it will be released in cinemas on October 9 before streaming on Apple TV+ on October 16. The film was filmed in the Everest region, Mustang, Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, and Bandipur.
73 years ago, Edmund Hillary & Tenzing Norgay became the first to stand atop Mount Everest. Today, AI helps us bring their story to life—capturing their happiness, courage, and epic journey in ways the 1950s technology couldn’t ✨

James Bond search enters final stage with planned August screen tests.
Sixteen actors are being floated for the next James Bond. 🎬
The names here run from Tom Holland and Henry Cavill to Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Regé-Jean Page, Paul Mescal, and Patrick Gibson. Harris Dickinson, Aaron Pierre, Jonathan Bailey, Henry Golding, Damson Idris also appear in the mix, and a Scotsman, Jack Lowden playing the world's most famous spy, you say?
Director Denis Villeneuve and producers have begun notifying actors who have advanced to the next round of auditions. Villeneuve has been calling talent directly, and while the names remain under wraps, sources have said that the next screen tests will take place in August.
The field combines franchise veterans, prestige-drama leads, and newer breakout actors, which points to a wide-open search rather than a settled choice. No studio, producer, or release timeline is attached here, so this reads as a circulating shortlist, not a confirmed casting decision.
Nevertheless, with casting officially underway, celebratory martinis shall soon be in order 🍸

It took Sam a whole week to express his gratitude by finally selecting photos for his post.
It appears that Hollywood Service Station—a motorcycle dealership based in Dumfriesshire—magnanimously provided bikes for SH’s friends, ranging from the novel Chinese brand Beta Chinchilla to the classic Indian Royal Enfield (Originally a British motorcycle) Meanwhile, SH generously supplied the helmets—including the green one sported by Nicolas Rasenti, who, to be fair, is well-accustomed to freeloading off Sam's gear.

@tinou63 You shouldn't let your friends ride your motorcycle; it carries major risks, including high insurance liabilities. It isn't a toy to be lent or borrowed. If they crash it, you will most likely be left paying for the damage to the bike and the damage to your friend. Because each bike has unique handling, it is better to set firm boundaries to protect both your bank balance and the friendship.
Perhaps you can now appreciate the joys of solo journey 🏍️ no regrets
Some anonymous evidently find certain responses a bit tricky to follow. While I am all for robust debate, I do prefer to keep things constructive. If you have a genuine bone to pick with a specific point, I am more than happy to discuss it; let's just keep it civil, shall we? Always want a serious and professional version to anything without sentimentalism. My posts are here to share facts, ask questions, exchange ideas, and, in this case, explore the true purpose of a motorcycle ride.
The essence of motorcycling is supposedly "wind therapy"—a complete immersion in the present moment designed to lower stress levels. Yet, while it is billed as a therapeutic, exhilarating experience, it actually demands absolute concentration. If your relaxing Sunday ride leaves you utterly stressed out by a new rider who was meant to be backing you up, then quite frankly, you are doing it wrong.
The point isn't what the others did—or whether they merely rode part of the Ride Galloway route. After all, many had unavoidable Father’s Day commitments; we aren't here to discuss them, and the old "everyone else is doing it" defence simply won't wash. No, the real issue lies entirely with SH’s chosen guest; he apparently is convinced she was a competent motorcyclist who would help him shine, but her performance left rather a lot to be desired at the moment she disappeared into thin air at a certain point in the Ride Galloway and did not finish the journey.
Pushing a nervous and inexperienced rider beyond their comfort zone quickly turns a fun activity into a stressful, full-day ordeal. Experienced and new riders process the road entirely differently; a beginner’s route must be short, manageable, and free of pressure. The reason why some motorcycle journeys are really hard for them is that it's better not to rely on them.🙅
Granted, people possess varying skill levels, but most usually know their limits and certainly do not bluff about them. This contrasts rather magnificently with Sam’s guest, who fancies herself an expert motorcyclist—a delusion Sam was foolishly persuaded to share, despite the glaring reality. Flying someone in from abroad requires a significant investment of time, money, and emotional energy. When you rely on someone for your event, only to find they cannot be trusted because it is 'too much effort', it demonstrates a truly staggering lack of consideration for the organiser's hard work.
Trust is earned, not guaranteed. If an invited guest fails to respect the purpose of their stay—especially in a moment of need—you must firmly restate your boundaries and outline the consequences for your own peace of mind. Your mental health, personal space, and well-being should always come first.
There seems to be a recurring theme of dishonesty in her actions. After all, this is hardly the first time she has misled people to appear as someone she isn't. She has already committed academic fraud by claiming a degree she does not hold. Now, a beginner is happily passing herself off as an expert. That is precisely how Sam introduced her to the high-end motorbike she was expected to use for the event—a machine the local dealership had on display at the distillery. She sat on it for the first time but did not actually test-rode it to get a feel for the handling before the following day.
It is remarkably reckless for a novice to ride an unfamiliar bike without prior practice. You would have to be somewhat optimistic to offer a high-end bike to a beginner—and fly her in from another country—only to end up unable to rely on her due to her lack of skill. What others choose to do on the road is beside the point; we are discussing SH’s guest specifically. She was invited for one solitary purpose: to take part in the distillery’s inaugural ride—and she flaked out, to put it mildly.
If that is the standard of conduct you feel compelled to defend, far be it from me to excuse such superficial behaviour; There is nothing quite so hazardous as a novice attempting to ride like an expert, with overconfidence being the predictable pitfall. Humility and a gradual progression are what keep a rider intact, rather than adopting a 'know-it-all' attitude and ensuring the entire world is made aware of it. So go ahead; humility was never exactly Sam's guest's greatest virtue, was it? 💁

SH’s positively desperate to recount those 2006 James Bond rumours. He says he was a ripe 36—though he was actually 25. Maths really was never his strong suit, was it?
Bless him, he really can't keep his stories straight; his James Bond audition seems to undergo a full script rewrite every time he speaks.
It’s amusing that these reporters didn’t bother to fact-check the James Bond audition; amusingly, they would have been rather surprised to discover their guest was never actually on the final list.
Just the Facts
SH didn't even make it to the final stage; assuming he actually auditioned—as he so proudly claims—he never quite managed to surpass Henry Cavill (who was 22 years old when he auditioned for the role of James Bond in 2005 the director's preferred choice) or the others contenders in the final round; since, according to SH himself, the casting director told him he lacked the necessary "touch."
It is a quality he has never possessed for the role of James Bond; the concept exists entirely in the minds of his fans who know remarkably little about Ian Fleming’s books.
Posted 26th June 2026
The conversation touched on his recent revelation that he had screen-tested for the role of James Bond back when Daniel Craig landed the part in 2006. In those days, any actor known the casting director. Today, however, Nina Gold scouts for the next Bond strictly by invitation ONLY, focusing on actors in their thirties capable of anchoring a multi-film franchise. It is highly improbable that SH received—or would ever receive—such an invitation at the ripe age of 46, which presumably explains why he spent the chat desperately trying to pass himself off as a wit. Candidates now screen-test directly with Denis Villeneuve, leaving precisely zero openings for SH. So, if anyone still fondly believes he was hinting at an audition for the new Bond, they should think again: it didn't happen, nor will it. Frankly, even if he did try to imply he was in the running, nobody would believe him—save for his adoring fans, whose opinions matter precisely not at all to the Bond producers.
@scribe4sc His claims about the 2005 Casino Royale casting are highly contradictory. Simply because his narrative is only partially accurate, consider the following points:
1. The Interview: In his discussions, the interviewer was the one who brought up the 2006 audition; he simply manipulated the conversation to his advantage.
2. His recent claim that he was previously deemed "too old" for the role is rather confusing. He was only 25 during his supposed screen test in 2005, whereas Daniel Craig was 37, and Henry Cavill was 22—with the filmmakers actually citing Cavill's relative youth as a drawback. The strict age limit applies to the upcoming casting process, which likely explains why his narrative has become tangled.
3. He’s clearly clutching at straws here. SH explicitly stated before that the casting director felt “he just didn't have the right spark by nature” for the role. He was never told he was 'too old', so leaning on that as an excuse shows he's got his wires crossed, so confused 😵💫
4. The casting directors who led the 2005 and 2026 casting calls are British, so implying he knows them is possible, but it doesn't mean he constantly crosses paths with them, as there's a huge difference
5. Claims the film industry is a "small village" is an industry myth. While it might seem like a tight-knit circle to established A-list actors, SH is not operating on that echelon and does not share that level of pervasive access.
