Went to see 'em a fortnight ago in Edinburgh. They're ace.

I read the review in this month's Q magazine. It said: "The problem is now that Ozzy has started to sing like he talks, like someone has replaced his teeth with bees" Otherwise I am mostly listening to Dear Catastrophe Waitress by Belle & Sebastian, Phantom Power by the Super Furries, and The...

One of my favourite films -- The Rachel Papers

Yes, but if I had the choice I would never again patronise a business that had f***ed me over quite as much as, say, Virgin Trains. The whole railway ticket pricing/buying system is hideously complex. I always buy a ticket before getting on a train, but I really f***ing object to being told...

In Sainsbury's in Edinburgh this weekend, I got twelve 500ml cans of Tennent's for less than 8 quid. When you also take into account the licensing laws, it's far, far better to get pissed in Scotland than in England.

I think we've done this before, but how much debt are we all in? I've got about £1200 on a credit card, which will take a year to repay. I'm paying off a car loan for the next two years at about £65 a month, and I've got about £11K of student loan left... although that comes straight out of my...

BAG, I really have to say ding-dong! Perhaps I should make the effort to go to the next one (and, er, not take my girlfriend..)

Mine lives on the ground flaw. Boom, and quite literally, tish.

I've never heard a Muslim person say they are insulted by Christmas images. But what's wrong with letting everyone join in?

Some lease or rental agreements prevent the hanging of washing or the flying of flags (any flags) from the windows. I was round for a few drinks last night with a friend who is forbidden from "beating rugs or carpets outside" as well. Dunno why a planning department would be enforcing that...

I rather like that collective noun. Chicken run, which department of B&H council told you to take your flag down?

Fat bastard and Mid-Sussex MP Fatty Soames is back in the shadow cabinet. HE'S GOT A BIG FACE!!

No, don't. Blame the wankers who're trying to privatise the tube. Incidentally, I've heard the newest Thomas the Tank book will include a character called "Robbie the Replacement Bus Service".

Why and how do you hold Gary Bailey's breath when going through the Dartford tunnel?

My girlfriend, who co-incidentally is Scottish and has slightly dodgy eyesight (yes yes, probably why she's going out with me, ha ha..), asked me the other day.. "so are Brighton better or worse than Forres Mechanics?" One of the more bizarre questions I've been asked about my team, I thought.

Every game I've been to this season, I've had an ice cream while walking from pre-match drinking place to the ground. At Middlesbrough, I had to run into a video shop and get one of those little tubs of Haagen-Dazs. Bit stupid really.

I used to play cricket with young Barney , who directed the DVD/video... and a top bloke he is. So I vote you get it.

If anything, this whole scandal ought to bring the phrase "German helmet" back into the popular lexicon, eh?
