A chara, – Further to “A woman walked in and a brawl started: A night watching the Euros in a Glasgow pub” (World, June 19th), Mark Paul picks a city centre bar, close to Central Station, universally a bad idea, and writes up the hilarious yarn.

The welcome I received from Jennifer Johnston is something I will never forget
Oscars 2026: Will Hamnet with Paul Mescal and Jessie Buckley get a best picture nomination?
‘My son is getting married in the summer, and the likelihood is that I’m going to be able to see that’
Is it true that women need more sleep each night than men?
