Haven't worn jeans since I was 25; never really liked them much. Too hot in the summer, horrible when they're wet: I wear chinos in winter and shorts the rest of the year.

I have an O level in Latin but never thought I'd ever need it. That was until I was with a mate staying in German household (we were at a trade fair and because of a shortage of hotels, lots of visitors stayed at people's homes). I speak perfectly good German but my mate didn't, so rather than...

Sad news indeed: he's been with us from the early days and, until recently, was a regular poster ... and an entertaining one. Never met the fella but he was a big part of the NSC community and it seems like we all do know each other, even if it's only online. Deep sympathies to his family. RIP

Simmonds is a big lad, isn't he? He'll be quite a unit if he fills out a bit

I used them to book a room for the Marseille game: when I got there, no-one was around so I had to find somewhere else at very short notice. I got no refund. Won't use them again

That El Pres can't play the piano?

Behind a paywall. Can you give a summary of what it says

That's where my mum was working in the early/mid 60s - it was the meeting place in Brighton at the time

I remember spending a week in Rome eating ourselves stupid and hearing people in our hotel saying that they discovered a Mac Ds by the Spanish Steps and eaten there all week "as otherwise there was nowhere to eat" I can't say Rome is my favourite city but the scran was top class

I've given up looking. I was out when the draw was made and was trying to book on a dodgy 5G connection. I had the same experiences that most people have had, prices more than doubling when reaching checkout, so I stopped trying. Now that I'm home, most of the alternative options have sold out...

He's probably on three times the salary that RDZ is on, so he wouldn't be a cheap option.

And now she's being called a liar by the Canadian government too. It's not a good week for her

There have been left wing papers in the past. The Daily Herald was set up by trade unionists in the early 20th century and was solidly Labour. It was edited by future Labour leader, George Lansbury (Angela's grandad) and was more to the left than the Daily Mirror. It gradually lost sales and...

Someone who talked of the benefits of immigration and wants amnesty for illegal immigrants is not on the right of the party. But you're right that he'll disavow any form of liberalism, the only political philosophy that he follows is Johnstonism

Johnson's main political instinct is Johnson first and then see what follows. But, insofar as he does have political beliefs, he's more on the liberal wing of the party. He wanted an amnesty for illegal immigrants when he was Mayor of London and he was very pro-EU before there was a political...

Achieved a first today; my first 2s in a row. Can I get the hat trick tomorrow?

He also drones on about West Ham's board not backing Moyes in the transfer market. This is a club that has spent about £100m this season, including gazumping the Albion for Kudus and outbidding several teams for the loan services of Phillips.

I reckon the details will be announced on Friday. They'll know the eight teams by Thursday night and they'll know the allocation for each of them. They could announce details within an hour of the draw ... nu they'll probably wait a few hours

That wasn't my opinion: there was a survey two weeks ago looking at possible Conservative leaders (among the electorate, not members) and she was the only senior Tory with a positive rating. It was only 2% but it was lot better than Suella Braverman's minus 40.

Elect Penny Mordaunt as leader - the one that Labour fear and the only Tory with a positive approval rating among voters. I'm not sure she'd win but would greatly reduce the Labour majority and possible lead to a hung parliament.
