That;s really good sense. I think Bruno has already proved that's he's not good with loyalty...

Stalin did exactly that in Ukraine in the 1930s, when every bit of grain was exported out of Ukraine, leaving the population quite literally starving. North Korea has nothing on the death toll thus created, in the millions. I don't know how long memories there last, but I bet that this is not...

Mr Bean?

Not what I meant. But his position on MOTD gives his views an undeserved authority. I view this as a 'Clarkson' moment - somebody else suggested replacing him and then he'll have the absolute freedom to expound his views. Until - and unless - that happens I just wish he'd concentrate upon football

I'm amazed that so much credence is given to Lineker's comments. If I were on the level of payment which he pockets I think I'd be keeping a lower profile. Nevertheless, if he wants to make his name in politics (which seems to be the objective) then let him stand in an election somewhere and see...

Exactly. When I think back to my behaviour @ 18 and 19 my blood runs cold. But everyone (hopefully) grows up an out of it. Luckily there was no social media then

Not only alcohol. Fatty foods, anything with salt in it (oh, they've already started on that...), junk food - the list is endless. What's wrong with we Brits that we feel we have to ban everything that we don't like? Worse, it only takes one person who objects to something and rounds up a few...

You have to ask, otherwise they use their machine printed labels. I have grandchildren in Australia, so insist upon stamps which are usually reluctantly supplied. But a card or parcel on the other side of the world with a British stamp on it is just a little bit more special. Last time the the...

Aden in '64 - 67 wasn't exactly a bundle of fun either. So called local 'police' roadblocks happily opened up on British forces. In the end no-one knew who was shooting at who. Needless to say, I'm not at the front of any queue for donations to Yemen, however wretched things are there...

There have been persistent rumours in this part of the world that high levels of voter fraud take place, especially in council elections. Taxi fleets (yes, true!) are rounded up to take voters to the poll and such voters are clearly marshalled into the polling centre. The whole thing is an...

you only have to look at what happened to Hereford in the following years to get an idea of what might have been.

I don't think any - wasn't he on loan there? (Remember 'our player' etc)

I must have heard a different one then. It was a little man delivering a little speech. I thought it a dismal performance.

Skip the statue - but the truth is that if the UK was still in the EU we couldn't have signed him because of the same nonsense we endured over Percy Tau. At last we're free of the stifling unelected bureaucracy from Brussels.

Surely it's a little like people who complain about radio and/or TV programmes. The easiest way is to hit the off button, which I do regularly. So if you don't want to see the ads just click onto the next page or something else. Us rocket engineers have no problem with that....

Are not his issues beginning to look similiar to those displayed by Knockaert? Brilliant on his day - usually when he chooses - but otherwise utterly disappointing?

Practically every 'scientist' leapt into every kind of media with his or her own solutions - wisely the government took the best advice that they could find. from, as I rememmber it, a sort of council of twenty top scientists and doctors. (Think it was called 'Sage'.) It's hard to see what else...

The Sir Lewis Hamilton one is even better. Not only is it really fast but has audio telling you what to do and think. But it won’t operate unless you’re kneeling down…

I cannnot see why you felt it necessary to call anyone who voted for Boris a 'div'. At best it's a childish insult. You may not agree with hm but it is, perhaps, worth reminding you that a great many more people voted for Boris et al than voted against him. As it happens, me included.

You saw it on twitter so it must be right, correct? Ever heard of fake news?
