Both campaigns were aimed at the lowest common denominator. Remain needed to steal away from the perception of being 'soft', they also could have played more on the positives from the EU. In the entire campaign when did you hear about EU funding for a local enterprise or something which...

One of the reasons to vote leave (as argued by a relative as coherently as can be over a few pints of Harveys) was more to do with the increasing susperstate attitude of the EU. Not migration, not border control, not "taking our country back". I then got thinking, the idea that the outcome of...

Just a quick question, I remember a while back hearing about how overpriced the pound was, it was a point raised prior to the referendum (see here and even back when Cable was business secretary). Assuming this is the case is the current drop something which was always going to happen and the...

As a Brighton based Claret I'm really chuffed for Keane, though it does mean he's more likely to get picked up by one of the big clubs (which we are all expecting to happen). I think playing in a consistent back 4 has helped, especially with the likes of Mee who has really developed nicely...

For all those pointing to the EU as a sanctuary, as mentioned, if Deutsche Bank goes under there could be a lot of problems. Just as well that the EU is drafting legislation which means in emergency situations this tab can be picked up by EU taxpayers. That's nice. Just worth considering that...

Set against the current Deutsche Bank problems this is a very tame sideshow. Not to say it's insignificant but I would be far more concerned with what is likely to happen and how it'll impact the Eurozone in general.

Mowbray won a lot of credit when he helped out Gary Parkinson

the Telegraph sting was offering the guy 3 different mobile phones to vote from. It's probably the darkest day in reality TV ever. Sack him, sack his family and force him to walk in a hair shirt to Canterbury. Then sack the Archbishop there.

tomorrow the Telegraph reveals that the Oldham kit manager once voted twice for the same act on X Factor... Hasslebank was offered money to do a speech and he was negotiating a potential fee, that's all I saw. Is there anything wrong with that?

8. I seem to remember Jason Puncheon making libellous claims on twitter which fall within this.

I daresay it gets posted on here each year but just in case... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ss-59fi4nM

This nails it for me, I can just about hack not being able to play sport to any great level and the noticeable 'old man' looks as someone on here put it. The other stuff, ageing parents and friends is something I know will be occurring at some point this decade.

Oil would be irrelevant, they've got China as a neighbour, do you think China ( a country building artificial reefs/islands for military purposes) would be happy with the US on its border? As previously mentioned, North Korea knows it can misbehave but China will bail them out. Not that China...

I'm presuming it means they want something. It'll be interesting to see how China handles this, from what I have read and heard they seem to be getting very tired of North Korea who effectively have them over a barrel (they know China won't allow anyone to invade, they also know that they can...

in terms of office jargon the verb 'to land' has arrived in full where I work. "where are we landing with this?" "when will this / will this land"? I listened to an interesting piece on R4 once all about management spiel. One point I clearly remembered was how there can be no negatives in the...

on a bit of a tangent but how come they were able to take all their leave in one go so early in the year? I'm probably missing something but where I have worked you normally can't take more leave than you have accrued? Common sense can be applied to the above, but if I went to my boss and said...

From experience you lose a good few once the novelty of the new season wears off and the weather turns bad! That's a good amount though so fingers crossed they stick around.

there was an interesting piece in the previous Private Eye concerning a court case being brought against Hunt by some Junior Doctors. The massaged stats which haven't, for some reason, been as highlighted as I thought (the report stating the rise in deaths over the weekend had been someone...

There were a few notorious linesmen at certain clubs, one in particular used to have his flag up continually. I once remember a break from a corner we were defending, was 10 yards in my own half and looked up to see the lino already had his flag up waitingf.

Sompting Rec is flat. I can't think of many steep pitches in that area, the other side of Worthing there is a pitch near what used to be Sterns. Not sure if there's a pylon there.
