whirs

In the back room of the threadbare offices of the Irish soccer team Bohemians, the printer clunks and chugs and whirs incessantly, spitting out a cascade of shipping labels.

Medical equipment whirs and beeps in the background.

The plane’s propeller whirs, and Snoopy’s head swings around, up and down, scanning for any sign of his German foe.

A few miles away, in a building at Stockley Park west of London, the Premier League’s Video Assistant Referee studio whirs into action.

Sixteen men sit side by side on the cement floor, damp is seeping through the walls, a single fan whirs behind the cell bars, and there is one toilet behind a low wall.
