"Right, well." Jon squinted at the page on his phone marked GOSSIP.
"Apparently Manchester United want to sign striker Harry Kane and midfielders Declan Rice and Mason Mount."
He paused awkwardly. "I have no idea why that's gossip. When...erm...Maybe we can discuss when gossip becomes news. Or why anyone is called a striker in a game with no use of hands. Or unions, come to that. Or...well, in the other direction, there are strikes going on, and perhaps those are occasionally as much gossip as news?"
Look, just talk about something; Jon will make it work. Somehow.
