    Colombo rules. And TJ Hooker was always worth watching for a quick teenage pant over Heather Locklear.

    Interactive telly? What, all that press the red button now malarkey? Nope, 'fraid I don't. And nor do a lot of people. So I don't think shunting it off to interactive telly is the answer, it wouldn't kill them to put a proper 30-40 minutes on the main Beeb channels now and again.

    Olympic Swimmers

    Rumour is the new Aussie super coach brought in to transform the team with ruthless training and iron discipline has actually screwed up, making them all peak too soon and arrive at the games knackered. Melanie Marshall the other day was supposed to be in with a medal shout, but didn't even...

    olympic commentry

    While normally I too would be transfixed by Suzi Perry, I'm so hacked off with the sailing coverage that not even her presence redeems it. :ohmy: It's the only sport we're doing well in, but we get, at best, 10 minutes of a quick recap highlights a day. Seven minutes of this is Suzi and...

    How come

    FFS! Yes, but the Greeks don't have a duckpond and Sunday afternoon tea ritual to worry about, do they. It's no problem building a stadium when you just have a few blocks of marble and the odd temple around, but a duckpond is a major logistial problem and UNESCO World Heritage Site. Get real Bwian.

    Sussex vs Middlesex FINAL DAY

    How do people rate our chances? Personally I'm pretty nervous, I think we needed to take a second wicket last night, and a further 251 looks reachable for Middlesex. And if we lose this one, it starts to look VERY grim... Come on Sussex, prove me wrong!

    The best American band EVER!!!

    THROWING MUSES (and all their offshoots: Belly, Breeders, Kristin Hersh, Lakuna, 50ft Wave, Tanya Donelly) GALAXIE 500 (and all their offshoots: Luna, Dean Wareham & Britta Phillips, Cagnee & Lacey, Damon & Naomi, Pierre Etoile.) 13 for the price of 2. I could then start doing a long list not...

    O/T: Grammar pendantry

    With the companies plural/singular thing, you have to pay some attention to accepted conventions. For example, I'd say "Boots is the UK's biggest high street chemist" not "Boots are the UK's biggest high street chemist" But I wouldn't say "Arsenal is out of the European Cup", I'd say ""Arsenal...

    Michael Owen

    £10m + Morientes, I'd take it. Though Owen's English and a local lad, always good things in my book, he's not the player he was and looks a little stale. Liverpool have been treading water for a couple of years, and something like this, painful though it may be to your average (tash-twirling...

    Who's looking forward to the Olympics

    Would love to see the sailing, we're in with a good chance of several golds. But expect there'll be four seconds coverage at 4am, whilst prime time is taken up with hours and hours of swimming and athletics. They don't show it 'because most people don't understand what's going on', simply...

    Why did L**ds not start with a -9 points

    Never went into administration, so no points deduction. However, what galls me is that despite being crippled with debts in the millions, they're still able to spend £200k on Stephen Crainey from Southampton yesterday. We'd ****ing love to be able to spend £200k on someone. But we don't...

    Westcott released

    I remember Westcott being touted as a real prospect when he was in the reserves. Then he starts plays for us, and I remember so many crap games at Priestfield when he just got knocked off the ball by journeymen 3rd division players. He seemed to have no fight or presence, and it rapidly became...

    Kent vs Sussex Day 4 - Can we hold on?

    All over. Boo. Need a win or two soon or we're going to find it hard to escape the relegation quicksand.

    Kent vs Sussex Day 4 - Can we hold on?

    239-6 at tea. Losing Prior right before the interval could be the moment that tips it Kent's way. Outside chance, but the lads are going to have to defend like their lives depend on it to make it to stumps with wickets in hand.

    Whatever happened to the Blazin Squad??

    Either: – they all died of shame. – National Service was reintroduced, purely for them. Frankly neither is punishment enough.

    Kent vs Sussex Day 4 - Can we hold on?

    Sigh. Exactly what I feared a couple of postings back has happened. Can't anyone but Monty play a slow steady innings – doens't matter how many you score, just occupy the crease. Gah. Real uphill struggle to save this one now. Need to make it to tea with AT LEAST four wickets in hand.

    Kent vs Sussex Day 4 - Can we hold on?

    We'll get nine points for a draw, five for a loss. I think.
