Troy Townsend’s journey is deeply inspiring—his resilience and advocacy work leave a lasting impact. In a different way, storytelling matters in every profession. In corporate headshot Dubai sessions, I often see how a single image can express confidence, ambition, and purpose—just like Troy’s story does through his words. Everyone deserves to be seen for who they are. visit https://www.thephotographyco.ae/portrait-headshot-photography

Okay sorry ... what the hell is happening to that Polluted with Adds other Sports Network on Sunday.WTF is Barry wearing a latex Sean Dyche mask or what? I don't want to listen to phlegm- speak on Warm Up for two hours. And with WHO ? Talksport is like Stalin. People disappear.Into some Gulag. The empathy of Elon Musk. This better be temporary. I've given up diseased talksport pretty much completely. My god it's boring. Only Warmup lunacy saves it.
