Wednesday were knocked out on penalties by Huddersfield Town after a 1-1 aggregate draw in their semi-final, with David Wagner’s men going on to play Reading in Monday’s final at Wembley. The south Yorkshire outfit made it to the play-off final last season but were beaten 1-0 by Hull City thanks to a Mo Diame screamer.

Soon everyone will be able to do the math. This month Haughey–now 75 and suffering from prostate cancer–will testify for the last time before the official inquiry that’s been exploring the sources of his wealth for the last three years.

A single retailing tycoon, Ben Dunne, paid out more than £1 million....

The clip which had the internet in stitches was uploaded onto TikTok by user the_scottish_king, who boasts an impressive 1.9 million followers on the app. In the video uploaded on December 6, a gray British shorthair can be seen lying calmly on a bed and minding its own business unaware it will be in for a most unwelcome surprise in the next few seconds. Its owner, no doubt fully aware of what the cat’s reaction will be, offered a single king prawn to it on a plate and placed it next to the feline....

The clip, shared to TikTok under the handle luna_themeowdel, shows a British shorthair by the name of Luna driving his owner to distraction with his unusual sleeping arrangements. Despite splashing out on a bed for Luna, he has so far shied away from lying down in his new sleeping quarters. However, in a frustrating development, he has apparently taken to sleeping in the bed once it has been packed away....

The situation is exactly what it sounds like. Theaters were informed prior to the movie’s launch that a new edit would be delivered to correct various CG issues in the film, but otherwise leaving it materially unchanged. Apparently Universal informed theaters the day of Cats’ release that it would be receiving some “improved visual effects.” It’s rather an unprecedented action, but fits with modern technology issues and the growing trend of CG studios crunching for films literally up to release date....

How Much Gas Is Too Much? If you pass gas between 13 and 21 times a day, you are within the normal range, but it seems a little silly to count how often you fart. What’s more important is your relationship with your own body. If you believe your body is gassier than it should be, then you may want to make some changes to reduce your gas level. Just keep in mind that the formation of intestinal gas is a good thing for the health of both your gut and immune system....

In case you didn’t know… Before his first coaching job with the Boston Celtics, Lue enjoyed an 11-year career in the NBA with eight different teams. He averaged 8.5 points per game and 3.1 assists per game during that span. The heart of the matter… The final straw may have been a 28-point blowout loss to Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday evening. Instead of putting together specific plays, Lue showed the entire first quarter against Minnesota, a quarter that the Timberwolves led 32-18....

Now the Cavs are hoping to avoid the same fate. James, at age 33, is heading into another free-agent summer, looking for his twilight destination, the place where he will likely end his career. It could be Cleveland, but the Cavs had a chance to make a statement on their own behalf in this postseason, and instead got themselves swept from the Finals. It was impressive that the team got that far, and it was mostly owing to James’ greatness that it did....
