Pic of the Day (above)
Over 10,000 women in a sports stadium at one time! Now there’s something you don’t see every day.
Participants form the ‘Field of Women’ to raise funds for Breast Cancer Network Australia before the round seven AFL match between the Melbourne Demons and the Western Bulldogs at Melbourne Cricket Ground today.
Tonight’s Telly
Pick of the night: Tonight with Jonathan Ross, BBC1, 10.45pm.
We know, it seems a bit disloyal not to watch The Late Late if you’re stuck in the house on a Friday night, but by the time Wossy’s come on, the best bits of Tubridy’s show have probably finished. Besides, since Ross has announced his departure from the BBC he’s regained some of the edge he lost after the Sachsgate scandal. Tonight’s guests include Alan Sugar from the UK version of The Apprentice and Jake Gyllenhaal, who’ll no doubt be plugging his new movie Prince of Persia.
Sporting highlight: The Players Championship golf, Sky Sports 2, from 5.30pm.
It’s Friday night, so if you’re planning to start the weekend in a sedate way, why not go the whole hog and chillax with a bottle of wine and a view of pristine greens as day two of this year’s Players tournament unfolds. Playing on those greens are, of course, some of the best golfers in the world, among them Lee Westwood who so far today has enjoyed a spectacular round.
Other TV: I’m Alan Partridge, 3e, 11.55pm.
Sometimes it’s good to cringe. Watching Steve Coogan’s comic creation may make for uncomfortable viewing but it’s always funny, even if you’ve seen a particular episode a couple of times before.
Live Like JOE
Yes it’s that time of day again when we impart some of our worldly knowledge upon you.
Today, if you really wish live like JOE then we advise you to… Have a cup of tea.
Not just any tea either my friends. We’ve been rooting around for a beverage which will enhance your health and mind (apart from Jager Bombs on a Saturday night), and Green tea has popped up on the radar.

Today we’re feeling…envious.
It’s all change in the political world across the pond in Britain. It’s a still a bit unclear who’s going to be in government but at least they’re shaking things up. If only we could do something similar here. Instead we’re stuck with the same old fools in the Dail, including one fella (he knows who he is) who’s greedily holding onto a state pension despite revelations that his attendance record in Leinster House stands at 17%, which amounts to less than one day in five. It’s just ridiculous enough to be true.
