Spectator Competition: Some like it hot
For Competition 3408 you were invited to write poems about heatwaves. This comp was inspired by the weather! In the face of lethargy, rage, sleeplessness etc lots of you still managed to put fingers to keyboard with good results. It was almost too hot to choose, but the £25 vouchers go to the following. Long drag the days of lop, of laze, Of no precipitation, Bar slathered factor fifty glaze On perspiration. And long the nights; too hot, still light, Fans faintly stirring stifle While outside, drunks ferment a fight Of some mere trifle. Long seems the spell, Heaven or Hell, When England's tropic. Waters run short, tempers as well, Heat's misanthropic. The wave will break; cloudburst, rain slake. Upon our sudden wetting, We'll eulogise that fearsome bake And start forgetting. Adrian Fry When the mercury rises unfeasibly high And the great yellow disc beats down from the sky It's time to enjoy our great national sport: Laughing at folk wearing less than they ought. Manual workers are the first to give way, Shedding their garments as if at Saint Tropez, But at least their muscles are tight as a drum (Barring the occasional gross 'builder's bum'). For others, alas, the effect is less fine: Tubbies in tight tops, like beef tied with twine, Others whose limbs are as pale as a ghost Suddenly ungarbed for their annual roast; And don't get me started on gentlemen's shorts (Bermudas and Lycra and Speedos, of course) – They're fine on the beach or when chasing a ball, But in town or at work? Prison for all! Joseph Houlihan It is too hot! I'd rather not. Could you just wipe my brow? I think I'll miss, for once, the kiss. Hosepipe needed now! I know you vowed to stick by me, But did you mean it literally? Excuse the drip, While I skip the chance to hold your hand. But when there's rain To cool my brain, I'll love you once again. Averell Kingston I am the Prince of Darkness, so I sought a winter break, But now I'm grilled from head to hoof, A well-done fillet steak, My tail is singed, my horns are burnt. Too hot? The heatwave's pelted! It's oven-scorching, off the charts, I bought a fan. It melted. I'm aircon-less, my sorbets run, My salads wilt and sizzle, You couldn't plant a cactus here, The soil requires a chisel. I'm no Dante, infernos suck, A desert can't be crueller, I won't stick this for forty days, I'm off to Hell. It's cooler. Janine Beacham Yes, I'll remember '25 – The heat, the sweltering days and nights Of sweat and fever-dreams and thirst, Relentlessly. The insect bites. The grass scorched. Wildfires made the news. No one slept and no one rose Refreshed at dawn and how we felt Was permanently comatose From headlines crying the old would die, And stale old tips on keeping cool, and nothing there to ease the strain except the far niente rule. And in that moment all the world stared at the one truth that endures, hotter and hotter, future years of ever-rising temperatures. D.A. Prince Dog days, every one a scorcher, Useless if you're lily-white, Cause of heat-rash, perfect torture, Hateful to Pre-Raphaelite – Why not buy a simple sun-bed If you must top up your tan? – Heatwaves only suit the undead, Or addicts of the hosepipe ban. Houses burn, and reservoirs Vanish in a nasty twinkling: Drink, but not in local bars – Watch out for your pink skin wrinkling. Heatwaves, pace The Vandellas, Aren't like love. They cause more pain – Let some air into your cellar. Hug the dark, and pray for rain. Bill Greenwell The summer is more like a Mexican wave. The heat wave is there but it comes and it goes. It stands up and hands us the sun that we crave, but it's too hot to sleep or to wear any clothes. Then a day or two later the clouds give us rain. The daylight is grey and the temperature down. It's good for the garden, yet still we complain that the summer is over, we shiver and frown. Until the next week when we swelter and sweat. The tarmac is steaming, the air is too hot, it's up in the thirties, we bake and regret that we wanted the heat, but the heat's what we've got. Then the clouds roll back in and it's cool once again, and it's such a relief, but the heat will soon rise and it's thirty degrees and it's all inhumane. Don't worry, next week we'll have overcast skies. Helen Baty No. 3411: popular demand You are invited to submit a poem or passage about surge pricing (16 lines/150 words maximum). Please email entries, where possible, to competition@ by 30 July.

A CEO's summer guide to protecting profits
Illustration: Brett Ryder M ID-JULY is the time to bare it all. On the beach, this involves swimwear that, au fait with the latest fashion, varies in skimpiness from extreme to disturbing. In the boardroom, it consists of a ritual of corporate exhibitionism known as the summer earnings season. Results from the second three months of the year will trickle out over the next few weeks. Back in April it looked on course to be a distinctly awful quarter. President Donald Trump had just launched his trade war, sending stockmarkets down and bond yields up. Bottom lines were imperilled by rising costs and slowing economic growth. Think walking around in tiny Speedos makes you feel naked? Try fielding analysts' questions about plunging profits on an earnings call. Opinion Columns Business Schumpeter Corporate governance They have won a respite from China, but face growing pressures in America The top position at Elon Musk's social-media platform is open once again Our analysis suggests it depends on what sort of culture bosses want Human relations are a useful way to think about brands The Amazon founder's semi-retirement plan

Could Wet Wet Wet have some serious competition?
Who can deny that Taylor Swift is the Mozart of our era, while graffiti artist Banksy is perhaps loading his spray cans at this very moment, as he prepares to make improvements to Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling by adding canary yellow Speedos to the image of Adam. Literature has also reached a pinnacle in the form of the Herald Diary, though, of course, some old-fashioned folk still prefer their literature in book form. Bibliophile Jason Daniels visited a pal, and found himself browsing the chap's well-stocked bookcases. 'Quite a library,' said Jason, not even trying to conceal his jealousy. 'Oh, I don't have time for reading,' said the pal. 'But if I did, these are the books I'd read.' Crunch time The Diary is fascinated by the interaction between teachers and pupils, in much the same way that some folk enjoy watching chaps in top hats taming grouchy lions at the circus. PE teacher John Williamson attempted to inspire an incalcitrant student to try harder at cross-country running. 'Come on,' he said to the boy. 'You're tough. You've got grit.' 'Wit dae ye mean?' said the boy. 'You sayin' I'm like gravel?' Ethical Ed 'I don't go out with married women,' says morally upstanding reader Edward Graham, who adds: 'Unfortunately my wife tells me that's no excuse for not taking her out for dinner.' Uplifting comment The past is a foreign country, pointed out author LP Hartley. What's also true is that foreign countries are foreign countries. None more so than the USA, which is exactly like the United Kingdom… if the United Kingdom was nothing like the United Kingdom. To underline this truth, reader Samantha Russell notes: 'In Britain it's called a lift, but in America it's an elevator. I guess people are just raised differently.' Talk is cheap When Robin Medford was asked to make a best man speech at a pal's wedding, he took the gig seriously, and assumed he delivered it with panache. 'What did you think of my speech?' said Robin to his wife, later that day. 'Um… well…' said his wife, 'you certainly enunciated well.' 'But what about the jokes?' said an increasingly desperate Robin. 'Like I said,' continued his wife, 'great enunciation.' Can you dig it? Gloomy thought of the day from reader Dave Moseley: 'Just when you think you've hit rock-bottom, life hands you a shovel.'

'I'm the new Superman – here's how I spent my last hour of anonymity'
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video What's that in the sky? Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's a new Superman movie that's about to land in cinemas across the UK. Superman is the first film in James Gunn's new shared superhero universe and hopes to usher in a new era for Clark Kent and his super friends. Which brings us to the new Superman himself, David Corenswet. The 31-year-old had just one hour between finding out he'd scored the biggest job of his life and the world finding out. So, how did he spend it? 'Oh, I just played solitaire by myself and panicked quietly,' David laughed while speaking to Metro about that fateful s60 minutes on the red carpet at London's Superman Fan Event. 'No, I had the opportunity to tell about six or seven people who I was close to, and just kind of relished in this one hour where I had a big secret that nobody else knew about,' he continued. 'It's a rare moment in life, so I tried to be present with it, and not be too overwhelmed.' To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video 'I got to tell my wife and a couple of family members, and then just sat in a chair and waited for the news to break.' Thankfully, once David's not-so-secret identity had been exposed, he could rely on other actors who've slipped into Superman's red Speedos for advice. 'I was lucky enough to exchange letters with Tyler Hoechlin and Henry Cavill, two fellas who have played Superman before me,' David explained. 'They said, 'You know, there's not much advice that we can give. You know, you sort of have to do your own thing.' 'But it was really wonderful to get words of encouragement from them, and then to be able to write to them and talk about how appreciative I was of the way that they had stewarded the character in their time. That was a special experience.' Superman will eschew the traditional origin story and instead introduce us to a Clark Kent (David Corenswet) who's been battling bad guys for years and is already in a relationship with Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan). More Trending Unfortunately, this means Superman has had time to make more than a few enemies, including Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult), who has a plan to bring the Man of Tomorrow down to Earth. Will he succeed? Well, you'll have to fly over to your local cinema to find out. Superman soars into cinemas on July 11. Got a story?
