Interesting to read of possible murmurings about Boris from his own side. I forget who said it but the saying 'the opposition are in front of you but the real enemy are behind' seems apt.

Private Eye did reported on how he managed to avoid the phone hacking scandal. In particular how his after dinner speeches back in the day contained many a hilarious story about the stuff heard on the phones of celebrities.

I wonder how the break is going to change the relationship fans have with football in general. Will they, or do they, miss it as much? Will they feel that they'd prefer non league etc? For a lot of people it's been a part of their routine and identity. The break might change that.

In music and entertainment you can be average and make it much more easily (family connections etc). You can also dine out on a much longer time period (royalties). Footballers are picked out and the same level of attention isn't applied elsewhere. Never understand it personally. A player has...

Apologies if it has been stated already but I see this as much as a subtle way to keep some form of social cohesiveness. I would expect that alongside the medical opinions offering their input at Govt level there will also be input from psychologists and those who will be experts in how groups...

I've always been into ancient history (studied it at Uni). I got into Roman reinactment and a few years back got some Roman armour. I have visited a school in Brighton for a few years in kit for the Year 3 Roman week. Spend the day answering questions etc. Great fun and the kids seem to like it...

Athlean-X on YouTube is very good for workouts in general. He does a range of workouts and is very clued up as to anatomy and physiology.

Just to pick up on the editing aspect. What is becoming more apparent is just how evident this now is, used to be something few people were aware of. However, nowadays the secret is out on that front. Drama=ratings and the production team will be pushing certain storylines by cutting and editing...

I use a mainly US forum for weights and gym chat. Fair to say that there's quite a lot of Trump supporters on the politics forum and most are not happy as they believe this to be a set up (given that Trump was elected on a platform of non-intervention in the ME btw). Quite a few are ex...

Hi all, Our act was woeful. We are the equivalent of the kid at school who doesn't revise and turns up to the exam. They think they'll pass because mum is a school governor. The biggest problem we have is not having any exposure prior to the main event. Most people go into the final with a...

The person with awful form using several pieces of equipment. Extra points if they are focusing mainly on the arms.

As s neutral I thought Townsend dived or at least was on the way down before the contact was made. As it hasn't been challenged by the pundits it has become normalised and therefore the expectation is for players to seek contact in the area. It sits alongside players holding their head or face...

The second episode, particularly the second part with the guest may have been very uncomfortable viewing for certain TV figures. Nepotism and the 'we never knew' culture in the media brilliantly exposed. Normally it's Alan as the focus of any wrongdoings but opening up the media this way was a...

Villa Giulia is a very good museum. Rome owes a great deal to the Etruscan culture so if you get a chance it's worth going there.

Wonder how long the media can go with the 'bored teenager' story on this one. Some good points on here and ones I have read elsewhere pointing out that this was high level tech and well organised (for example knowing how to avoid having the transmitter signal traced).

Absolutely this. They knew it would be banned and realised not having an advert but lots of chat about it was a better strategy. People now associate the palm oil issue with Iceland. Job done!

The danger with recruiting in Jan is that if you do it from a position of a relegation scrap there may not be many players of the quality you need who want to go to a club in one.

I listened to some of the game on the radio. It was amazing how the pundits were drooling over Wolves and saying how great they are to watch whilst avoiding their recruitment policy as one of the reasons why. I would like Dyche to play a more expansive style and understand the perception we are...

Hi all, Claret fan here, I wouldn't say we are panicking just yet but there is more than a whiff of the relegation scrap about us this season. We didn't strengthen as we should have done in the summer, Sean's made a few subtle nods to this in the interviews, the suspicion is that the board...

some very accurate comments on here concerning Burnley. Last season was a huge achievement but it's worth remembering how tight it all was. We finished 21 points ahead of Swansea, that's the same number of points we finished behind Liverpool who were 4th. I'm not fully sold on the notion that...
