Whichever party bows to the press is the one which will get in. If Rupe and the Rothermere's approve you can expect an easy ride, Corbyn will be portrayed as weak whatever he does. Had Corbyn been in charge and cosying up to the Chinese the press would have a field day, even more so if his wife...

the other important thing to factor in is that most gun deaths in the US are suicides. If you commit suicide with a gun it's classified as a gun-related death, which is fair, but then it can be used statistically to paint a somewhat misinformed picture. One of the overarching problems is the...

I was using both examples to highlight a point, namely that there is a cultural angle on this which sits outside the logical process and may be worth considering when trying to understand the arguments. I wasn't comparing gun crime with the NHS, nor football clubs with it. Just that they share a...

like many you might be wondering why there has been resistance to this in the US. From what I've read the main issue that the 'anti' has on this is that it is largely ineffective. One chap I read made a quite cogent argument saying that the recent shootings would still have occurred if this had...

Has the Honey Badger been mentioned? - skin tough enough to resist machete blows - picks fights with lions (see here around the minute mark - being bitten on the head just annoys it) - generally unlikeable

Many years back I dated a lady who worked as a journalist, and I remember learning back then that 99% of anything you read about a celeb is done via their PR agency. The most common stunt belongs to a type where the celeb in question seem the victim of something, or has been ‘caught out’. The...

I do remember going to the Benson's Under 18 night on a Monday. When it became Illusions you could sit in Chapmans and wait until they opened it all up. I also remember Flappers, which was renovated into Area 51 or something. Happy hour till 9 on a Saturday....

One by Worthing station was called Illusions back in the day (think it became Illusions II). You could get a kebab and watch the fights whilst you waited for a cab... Worthing used to have some decent pubs and/or something of a nightlife. Drinks down JDs or the ironically named Wine Lodge...

just to clarify - I had very little left. Went out a bit quicker than normal and just kept with it. I did have a gym session booked in on the Sunday involving deadlifts...safe to say that didn't occur!

Managed a PB of 27:30 for the Promenade Park Run. Quite chuffed but realising today I should have stretched a lot more than I did.

I'm expecting a scrappy home win vs Charlton but we've been far from impressive of late. Dyche seems to only change players due to injury or suspension and without Gray we look toothless. Plus Barton's bound to get sent off at some point this season. Either 2-1 or 0-0. January transfer window...

The Apprentice is to business what It's a Knockout is to the the British Athletics Team. It's just entertaining TV.

the two best bits of any show are the opening task announcement and the prize for winning it. This series they have run out of ideas or funds and the task announcement has no bearing on where it takes place. "We're here, in the 'istoric Carnaby street which was the centre of British fashion in...

as someone who will never own a home (unless I win the lottery) it's interesting hearing from all parties. Letting agents talk up the market, whilst others chip in predicting a crash. I always hear about the bubble bursting as well. Then there are the proposed changes for buy-to-lets and...

Austin is a quality player, the only negative (as people on here have mentioned) is his injury problems. Back in the day it was his shoulder which was the problem and seemed as if it would require long term management, remember him taking his shirt off when he played for us at Palace and his...

view from a non-Albion fan (though I was supporting your lot last night). Dunk's tackle was very silly, even if you get the ball these days the ref will yellow card you, seem to remember watching a game recently on Sky where a player made a great challenge, slid in and won the ball. Yellow card...

non Premier League previews are normally quite revealing in how little research is done. Few years back Norwich v Burnley on Sky, the preview was all focused on Gifton Noel-Williams who was our dangerman apparently. Gifton, or 'Giftless' as some of the fans called him (GNW was also known as...

mustering sympathy for them is trickier than normal. As I've commented on another thread when Coyle left and pointed to their finances as one of the reasons a fair few Burnley fans countered by outlining how much debt they were in (and how exposed they would be if either Davies called the debt...

I'm at the Underground, cracking place and remember when it was very different (went to it when it was out of a lockup behind PC World). Last night I saw Eubanks in the ring with I chap I recognise as Adam Booth. He was also on the treadmill etc. It's really interesting watching someone of that...

I seem to remember reading somewhere that the Joshua fight would be around 10:45, no idea about the Eubank one.
