I recall a photo showing the muscle bursting through the skin of his leg. I'm v squeamish so not in any hurry to have that confirmed.

Brum away, Dec '16. Scraped my shins to buggery on the seats in front celebrating Murray's winner. Felt much worse than it looks and that photo was after cleaning up most of the blood.

Adam El-Abd regains credibility though for being so hard as nails for making light of a horrific injury in a match against Southampton(?) And also for single-handedly getting half the Pompey team booked in the match at Withdean. You can't hate a man for that, surely?

Definitely. They were all part of a very incestuous music scene. Tricky and Massive Attack came from The Wild Bunch, ostensibly a Bristol band but more of a musical collective that also gave rise to Nellee Hopper (Soul II Soul) and Roni Size. Before that were other Trip-hop acts such as Smith...

The first time I saw British Sea Power they were supporting The Fall at Concorde 2 around the late 90s/early noughties. Bloody hell, they were good. Likewise, I fell in love big time with Ladytron after seeing them support Peaches.

Anyone remember their last minute penalty miss against us, the last time we played at Fratton Park? There was a middle-aged bloke with two very vocal 'ladies' front row of the upper tier to the left of us and all 3 giving us dog's abuse all game. We were kind enough to return it after the miss...

All 3 of the Trip-Hop Holy Trinity are stone-cold classics, all 3 were debut albums and all 3 hugely influential, far beyond their own musical genre: Portishead - Dummy Massive Attack - Blue Lines Tricky - Maxinquaye Both Massive Attack and Tricky had better albums afterwards so not sure if...

Which Tories? Most of the big hitters in 2015 were firmly Remain including our current Chancellor and current PM. You can certainly point the finger at Boris and Gove for telling porkies on behalf of the Leave campaign but it's not exactly a party political issue when the most hardcore Leave...

Exactly. There's bigots in the Tory Party for sure. They partnered up with a load of bigots from the DUP in forming the present government and they need calling out, the same as the Jew-haters in the Labour Party and the Jew-haters in the Lib Dems. Ernest only shows himself up as the ignorant...

The Sugarcubes. 'Life's Too Good'. That album was a complete life-changer for me. And then Saint Etienne 'Foxbase Alpha' came along. Possibly the most perfect pop album ever recorded.

I've read 3 posts of yours prior to this. The first is glib and completely dismissive of the whole thing. The second is to proclaim your ignorance but also tempered with a definite bias towards one view. Then someone took the time to explain to you why they thought it was anti-Semitic. Your...

Trying to assign a statistical probability to the Big Bang is pointless. There was no meaningful concept of time before it so in a way it had an infinite time-frame for it to occur.

You are a very odd person. It's a friendly term. Nothing more, nothing less. I use it often: etc...etc...etc You're clearly spoiling for a fight with someone. It's not going to be with me so you'll have to go trolling somewhere else, I'm afraid.

You've jumped in a bit too quickly giving it the biggun there matey . I'm not trying to get more people into believing in God. I'm not even sure if a God even exists. I've absolutely no idea where you've got that from. Do you want to try again and perhaps this time refer to something that i...

I'm going around in circles. Just look at most of the replies in this thread. Loads want to see an end to religion completely. They feel very strongly about that but when it comes to actually doing something themselves it's indifference. They want an end to Christianity but they can't even...

I don't think I am. I'm saying (repeatedly) that there doesn't have to be any association if you feel that strongly about it. Christians managed to change it from pagan to their god so I see no reason why atheists couldn't remove Christianity from this particular holiday/festival. If they're...

I acknowledged that they hijacked it and gave their names to it and we're perpetuating that by carrying on using those words. As long as we call it Christmas, we're associating it with Christianity. I'm genuinely baffled as to why people are saying it isn't.

They should take the NHS out of the politician's control and into a panel of independent health care experts who understand what the Hippocratic oath means and given the power to make long-term strategic plans which is what it needs. Also give them the ability to audit their suppliers for value...

Why do I need to explain anything about what is celebrated or why? I'm not trying to justify it, I'm just trying to say but not very well, that we're all keeping alive the importance of Christianity in our culture by continuing to call it Christmas. It's ridiculous to say that it's got nothing...

If anyone is interested...the Tooting 24hr event is an annual thing. It's been going for years and was founded by an Indian chap who believed in running as a way of meditating. https://uk.srichinmoyraces.org/london-24#third-section-tab-1
