Some better news for Scunthorpe after years of troubles with dodgy owners. The club bought back its ground last season and is ready to fight its way back to the FL. It's still in rocky financial shape however and has set up a fans trust to help pay for the ground and to give fans more of a say...

The Tories are going to re-open the Beeching lines - Uckfield and Lewes connected at last! They really have found the magic money tree

Anyone else going to see Dutch funsters, Lewsberg, at the Hope & Ruin on Friday?

I remember the first game that season: a strike force of O'Grady and Fenelon. To be fair to Hyypia, it wasn't exactly Murray and Zamora. Poor Sami, I don't think he was a great manager but anyone would have struggled with that squad

What he says may hold true at some other clubs but I can't see the likes of Dunk, Gross, Welbz etc being the Billy big bollocks and looking to get one over on the new manager. RDZ always spoke warmly about the support he got from his senior players and I can't see this being any different

All the D-Day remembrance ceremonies have prompted me to re-read Anthony Beevor's book on the Normandy campaign. What a masterful writer he is: he brings these battles. I don't think it's as good as his Stalingrad book but it's still pretty compelling

I'm using Duolingo a lot at the moment to brush up on my German but I agree with the posters who have downvoted it - it's pretty decent for revision (I used to speak German quite well but have forgotten a lot of it) but I wouldn't recommend it for learning a language from scratch. There are...

Steve Gritt - I've still got more hair than him

He got runs for the Seconds two days ago

Well, that's a good question. Oliver Dowden is deputy PM but Mordaunt often steps up for him when he's not around. Labour won't believe their luck if it's Dowden, he's an even worse performer than Sunak. Mordaunt is a completely different challenge however, she's probably the Tories' most...

I was wondering that. His heart is clearly not in the campaign and he must be thinking "Sod it, California's nice this time of year". I've no idea what would happen if he did. New Tory leaders are elected by the members after being nominated by MPs ... but if there are no MPs, what happens?

But it would still entail my buying something for a product that I don't need. I have no intention of maintaining an iPhone when I finish my contract with this company.

... Or older people. My work phone is an iPhone, which definitely is not my choice. I don't play music on it but as Apple in their infinite wisdom decided to dispense with an earphone jack, I can't use my headphones on it. Which means that calls, voice mails and video clips that my company send...

Yeah, saw this last night and it was utterly compelling. I liked the way they used modern actors lip-syncing the words. I don't know what most of the soldiers looked like but the actor they got playing John Howard was an incredible likeness -it made it seem even more real

Dreadful performance. I still think we're a batter short (and Carter is no T20 player)

No. McAndrew and Hughes are our overseas players for the Blast, while Seales joins the WI squad. We have Jaydev Unandkat joining us for the last few CC games

Villa - because I've never been Brentford - because I've only been to GP and it's just down the road from my office Newcastle - because my nephew's just moved there and it's chance to fit in a family visit Hope to fit in Leicester, as it's a cracking curry and Liverpool, as I've a mate who's a...

We're a batter short. What's happened to Dan Ibrahim, surely a better option than Carson?

Pupils had been hardened by Harry Allt - a finishing school for psychos

The Conservatives are planning to introduce National Service for 18-21 year olds. I think it's only right that people who would have to do it, have a say in whether it should be implemented. Even without that suggestion, if a government lasts five years, someone who's 16 will be an adult for...
