On Thursday, not long after the noon sun had begun to sag slowly to the west, I drove from Norwood up Ivy Road and saw a man staring at a bird. It was a loerie. Inside a cage. He didn’t move. Just stared and then stared some more. I think he was a little stoned. But, caging a loerie or any bird is evil, a sin against those who can fly, a travesty of those who believe in freedom of any form. After my brother died in 2017, I heard a loerie call, and I felt it call his name.

The news at this hour... Sundowns won the Betway Premiership. Again. Formula One drivers can put the F-word back into F1. Liverpool fans booed one of their own. Romania may be about to elect a Trump fan and former football hooligan as president. A giant, Merc-driving rabbit is the new star at the San Francisco Giants. Periods may cause ACL injuries in female athletes. Chiefs won something. Rory McIlroy and Bryson DeChambeau are not the best of mates.

Kagiso Rabada’s greatest sin in his recreational drug case has quickly been warped and twisted from being tainted as “unclean” for either having a puff or a sniff to the small nonsense of “what exactly did he take?”. Of the four substances, I think we can safely rule out MDMA and heroin. Of the former, no-one goes to raves any more do they — though a report claims that 2.1-million people in the US used ecstasy in 2023, but, then again, they also voted for Donald Trump and love line dancing.
