71 m. ago The most romantic place on earth? It has to be a sleeper train

The low-key glamour of watching the sunset in the buffet car and being woken with a bowl of porridge just can’t be beatIs there anything more glamorous than an overnight train? Even when you’re climbing aboard wearing your husband’s raincoat, carrying an oat-encrusted car seat, with a six-month-old in a sling and an apple core fermenting gently and secretly in the side pocket of your rucksack?Not that I know of. I love travelling by train – even now, when it’s as comprehensively bad as British rail privatisation has made it for, well, just about everyone save a few shareholders and the CEO of Pumpkin Cafe. But travelling at night? With the whisper of romance in the buffet car, the flash of sunset from the vestibule and a white-sheeted bunk bed to call your own? I love it even more.Nell Frizzell is a journalist and author Continue reading...

83 m. ago My boyfriend won’t have sex with me – and says I have to be patient

He doesn’t kiss me or touch me intimately. I am starting to feel self-conscious and worried that I’m just not his typeMy boyfriend and I have been together for a few months. The first time we were physically intimate it took him almost an hour to just kiss me because he was shaking so much. He hasn’t had physical contact with anyone for four years. He says his last breakup was traumatic. Since then, he has found it hard to maintain an erection, even while watching porn.When we are together, I touch him and myself and, when I’m close to climax, I give him oral sex so we orgasm together. He doesn’t kiss me any more and doesn’t touch me intimately, apart from my breasts. He says I have to be patient because he hasn’t had sex for years. He cannot understand why he is not able to maintain an erection with me.

2 h. ago Jason Bourne is coming back – but what do we want from him this time?

A heated bidding war for the future of the Bourne franchise is over, so whether we need him or not, the amnesiac assassin is set to returnWhat do you consider to be the end of Jason Bourne? For connoisseurs, Bourne’s story definitively ended in 2007’s The Bourne Ultimatum, which masterfully wrapped up the story that began five years earlier with The Bourne Identity. For the less discerning viewer, it ended with 2016’s scraggy and inconsequential Jason Bourne. For the three people who watched the USA Network’s 2019 series Treadstone, it ended there. So which is it?Trick question, because Jason Bourne is never actually going to end, ever. This week, NBCUniversal has won a bidding war to acquire all non-publishing rights to Robert Ludlum’s Bourne and Treadstone properties in perpetuity. The deal, described as “very large”, means that Bourne is now firmly as much a part of Universal as Jaws, Jurassic World and the Minions. It also means we are never getting rid of him. As the Universal ...

Celebrities play it. Footballers play it. Gradually, insidiously, fantasy football has seeped into the way we consume the gamePerhaps you’re a template kind of guy. Perhaps, by contrast, you’re spurning the triple Liverpool consensus and stacking your team with handy differentials like Jarrod Bowen and Donyell Malen. Perhaps even Erling Haaland could be considered a differential given his historically low current ownership stats. Perhaps you’re feeling a cheeky BB GW1, followed by a FH GW2. Perhaps, by contrast, you’re furiously stabbing at the “close tab” button on your browser in the hope of purging these words from your eyes as expeditiously as possible.In which case, relax. This is actually a column about sport: what it is, what it isn’t, how we watch it, where it’s going.
