Оновлений Audi Q4 Sportback помітили на тестах перед дебютом

На дорогах Європи нещодавно помітили оновлений Audi Q4 Sportback, який готується до дебюту у 2026 модельному році. Автомобіль проходив випробування з мінімальним камуфляжем, що вкривав лише деякі елементи передньої та задньої частини кузова. Такий підхід свідчить про те, що Audi готує точкову модернізацію моделі, ймовірно в межах запланованого фейсліфту. Зовнішні зміни, судячи з усього, будуть […]

Britain’s favourite ‘dadisms’ from pretending their not asleep to repeating the same joke, survey reveals

THE nations favourite ‘Dadisms’ have been revealed – with pretending they’re not asleep, just “resting their eyes”, telling the same story multiple times, and of course, dad dancing featuring on the list.

A poll of 2,000 adults found that while Brits love to moan about their dads’ cringey behaviour, three quarters wouldn’t choose to change them if they could.

Other favourites include fixing things around the house, telling corny jokes, and having a favourite chair that no one else is allowed to sit in.

Falling asleep on the sofa, saying ‘back in my day…’ or ‘when I was your age…’, and complaining about the cost of things all also got a shoutout on the list.

Despite this tendency for Dadisms, three quarters (76 per cent) claimed they don’t find this behaviour embarrassing and prefer to humour their fathers – with 62 per cent likely to laugh at their jokes even when they’re not funny.

This may be because 85 per cent partake in Dadisms themselves – with the most common including complaining about the cost of things (28 per cent), falling asleep on the sofa (25 per cent), and sending the thumbs up emoji (17 per cent).

A spokesperson from Moonpig, which commissioned the research, said: “Dads can make us laugh more than anyone else – even if this isn’t always intentional.

“And they seem to have so many universal behaviours, as if they’ve been given a manual on what makes a dad a dad.

“This Father’s Day we want to celebrate all father figures and the little quirks that make us love them so much.”

The other ingredients that make up a classic father figure were also revealed, with top traits identified as hardworking, caring, supportive, and reliable.

Dad-centric hobbies included watching football, gardening, and DIY – as well as travelling, reading, and going to the pub with his mates.

And the possessions most treasured by any fatherly figure are likely to be his car (24 per cent), toolbox (17 per cent), and family photographs (24 per cent), according to OnePoll.com data.

When asked, a higher percentage of those polled also claimed to find them unintentionally funny (25 per cent) rather than intentionally hilarious (17 per cent).

And, on average, a dad will only know 35 per cent of their kids’ friends’ names – with eight per cent not knowing any of them at all.

To celebrate the father figures in their lives, 73 per cent will celebrate Father’s Day every year – and to commemorate this day, are most likely to buy him a gift (62 per cent), a card (61 per cent), and go out for a meal (30 per cent).

The top factors that influence selecting the perfect card were also identified as humour (50 per cent), a fun and personal design (31 per cent), and a sentimental message about how great he is (30 per cent).

Interestingly, more than half (54 per cent) claimed they are more likely to buy a humorous card to celebrate their dad on Father’s Day than their mum on Mother’s Day – perhaps because 73 per cent hope to see their favourite Dadisms referenced on the cover.

Moonpig’s spokesperson added: “Our father figures can be such a source of inspiration, support, and laughter – which is why it’s so important to celebrate them every chance we get.

“A heartfelt message, inside joke, or personalised reference to the things they love on their Father’s Day card can make all the difference to letting them know how much you care.

“So this Father’s Day, take a moment to revel in those eye-roll-worthy Dadisms and the little things that make your bond so special – and say it all with a card that’s as unique as he is.”

Australia vs South Africa preview

Lord’s hosts what promises to be a cracking contest as Australia take on South Africa in the final of the ICC World Test Championship on Wednesday.

Australia, the reigning champions after defeating India at The Oval in 2023, enter the match as firm favourites, priced at 3/10 to retain their crown.

And it’s not hard to see why.

The Baggy Greens, currently the top-ranked Test side in the world, arrive with the formidable core that clinched the title two years ago.

Under the leadership of Pat Cummins, Australia secured an impressive 3-1 series win over India at home earlier this year and were the standout side in the 2023–2025 WTC cycle.

They won 13 of their 19 Tests during that span and avoided defeat in all of their six series, seeing off challenges from England, Pakistan, the West Indies, New Zealand, India and Sri Lanka.

As for South Africa, this final marks their first appearance in a World Test Championship decider, having missed out in the previous cycle when finishing third.

Their path to the final has been a little different.

After drawing with India at home and suffering a 2-0 defeat away to New Zealand, the Proteas found form with wins over West Indies, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Pakistan.

Yet critics will point out that South Africa have had a more favourable schedule – notably avoiding both Australia and England on their way to the final.

In terms of recent head-to-head encounters, there’s little to draw on. Their last meeting came in January 2023, when Australia claimed a convincing 2-0 home series win.

South Africa preview betting tips and predictions


Steve Smith to score a century – 3/1 with bet365

The former Australian captain hasn’t played since March but is raring to go as the Baggy Greens look to defend their World Test Championship title they won at the Oval two years ago, in a game where Smith scored a hundred in victory over India.

Smith has a fantastic record batting at Lord’s, with an average of 58 at the home of cricket and is already on the honours board twice, after a mammoth double hundred in 2015 followed by a ton on his most recent visit to the Home of Cricket in 2023.


Kagiso Rabada to take five wickets in the match – 4/5 with bet365

The South African pace bowler has only played two Tests at Lord’s in his career but has a fantastic record at the north London ground, taking 13 wickets at an average of 19, with no other player in either squad having taken more ahead of this week’s WTC final.

The 30-year-old is the Proteas’ leading active wicket taker with 327, and is only three short of climbing into the top four on the all-time list for South Africa, doing so with the best average out of any of the top 14 on the list.
