Forgive my ignorance - what does a Technical Director actually do?

Your grapes last year were unripe, this year they are more likely to ripen successfully because of the sunshine and heat. To maximise the chances of this I would advise you to do a 'green harvest' as soon as possible, which is to pick off any small or weedy bunches so that the vine focuses its...

Difficult to get a good sense of the game where I was sat but didn't feel like a very meaningful result, though I too feel concerned about Locadia. Impressed by AFCW though - resolute in defence, some threat in attack and some talented players. Ardley's been under a bit of flak for his slow but...

Would this be an appropriate moment to mention their inspiring 'Champagne' song, sung to visiting northern fans, to the tune of 'Sailing' We drink champagne we snort cocaine we've got ladies over here, you've got sh*t jobs you shag your dogs and your wife is on the game. We drive Ferrari we...

I'm going to have a beer at the ground with Wimbledon fans, lovely bunch they are.

Agree with a few of these. But a special call out for Romesh Ranganathan. I love Sri Lankans/SR Brits but sorry Romesh. Not funny as a comedian in the first place. His travel show to Albania tonight is the most toe-curling, desperate, disrespectful piece of TV I've seen in a while:- hats off...

For me it's Diamond Dogs (1974) describing boom-time Shanghai (Post 2000)...not just the music - the sleeve art also evokes the overarching high-tech, bonkers wealth and warped sleaze of the city and it's amazing, ambiguous energy...

Booked, thanks for the heads up

(It was as dry as a nun's nazi in each direction the whole length of the track.)

Station announcement yesterday at Stoneleigh (Surrey)... "We are sorry to announce the cancellation of the 0809 service to Waterloo due to heavy rain."

Hate to rain on the party... I love these two to death... ...but desperately disappointed by the first episode, seemed like they were under instructions to be uproariously hilaritated (?) by not incredibly hilarious comments from the other. Would have much preferred a more natural and less...

Amesbury - confirmed as Novichok. Dead cert, as Bozza says, to be Russian spooks trying to make it look like Brits are dropping like flies with it all the time. Bloody Nora, how schoopid do they think the world is?

The supreme irony, and one the wikipedia-ist journo's haven't figured it out/bothered to... ...is that the amount of CO2 produced around the winemaking latitudes as a result of alcoholic fermentation is absolutely vast! Albeit not food grade but that's a minor point. It is vented off into the...

Eraserhead - very unsettling

Chuffed. Totally deserved.

Wow, yeah... thanks for this, it's a boxcar ride out of New Orleans to who knows where

I'd be interested if some saner members of NSC could opine on this amazing song from a celebrated Chilean performer. A truly great song and - bite me - she's hotter than a hot thing in a hot place, on a hot day, if it's not a crime to say so.

Er, no... I just find this song and video incredibly sexy, is that against your snowflake playbook rules?

He doesn't come here often, so when he does tickets are hard to come by, I was lucky, twice

If you can do better I'd love to see/hear it...
