I ran my first trail 21k this morning, taking in all the steepest hills that you can access from Newlands Corner. Finished in about 2:19, which I'm perfectly happy with as it was a pleasant trot. I subsequently found out that Nell McAndrew was running in the 10k (she was 1st Lady finisher)...

QPR obviously! :D

Have the '80's asked Biss for their shorts back yet? :D

I see some DULLARD has been talking about this subject on Colin Murray's Radio 5 show tonight - started just after 23:00 if anyone wants to listen on catch-up.

That'll be the Radio 4 interview this morning? His response was more nuanced than that, in that he was at pains to keep what the ministerial code says as a separate topic from any pre-judgement of what the Civil Service report says. But yes he agreed that if a Prime Minister had lied to...

Not reported, or not reported enough? Sky, the BBC, the Standard, the Guardian, i, and others, they've all covered the protests and the bill over the past several days.

If a defending player is encroaching and a goal is not scored then the penalty should be retaken. Law 14, see the summary table at the bottom: https://www.thefa.com/football-rules-governance/lawsandrules/laws/football-11-11/law-14---the-penalty-kick

Tonight was Junior Orange's first taste of the derby, and he came home a happy and chatty boy (until he conked out just past Pease Pottage).

Presumably you won't be expecting a journey on a class 121...

Turns out that I was right about the stadium only being accessible from the English side of the border. Not only that but the whole of the site comes under the auspices of the local Cheshire West and Chester Council (a bit like there are parts of Sussex in the Kent administrative area) who...

Not a ground I've been to, but having had a quick gander at Google maps it does appear that you can only actually get into the stadium site from the English side of the border, so I'd be surprised if a bit of common sense doesn't break out in the near future.

A consensus on what, which opinion is the most opiniony? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Booked myself up for the Surrey Half today in order to keep up my record of running every one. Need to shift half a stone in the next few weeks if I want to get a decent time though! :D

None of those things require adjudication as you well know. For instance I'm sure you can very quickly work out which of the following statements are lies, facts and opinions without help from a third party. "An orange is one of those green fruits that grow on apple trees." "Wimpy is a...

I think people confuse social media with journalism, and the two are not the same. Mind you, from what I've seen of journalism in the States it makes the UK equivalent seem rather sedate in comparison. I still find it astonishing that a lie is allowed to be presented as an "opinion" under free...

I assume you hadn't got to my later post? Now I don't think I've commented on the actual trial before, and don't think I have anything to add - the jury will have heard the evidence, been given direction by the judge, and come to their verdict. That is how it is supposed to work, justice has...

This feels like something of a relief. I do hope Jurgen manages to get his career back on track.

An interesting point. Though I think reparations is something we as a planet are a bit beyond, as there were far too many European, American, and West African communities involved in the Atlantic slave trade, and I'm not including all the other slave trade routes here, to make it easy to work...

Not what I said at all. I don't happen to think that the move it to a museum suggestion is a bad thing, but you could also provide informational plaques in situ.

Whatever the rights and wrongs of the case, that is a rubbish analogy - Bristol is not entirely populated by the descendants of slaves. We need to be reminded of our past, and reminded that what is considered to be obviously wrong now might not necessarily have been considered so in days gone...
