I fear that squad is not good enough, as it stands. But here is still time, and the trickle-down factor from the big boys is operating. It does depend what people expect, if they're happy to have a season with the cream, go down and come back stronger, then we probably have enough to do just...

Fine actor. Did a good job on one of the Columbos, playing twins, and a baddie in North by Northwest

I've never considered myself to be scum either, I don't have a bath very often, but from what I remember, I don't float on the top. As far as the door/lock is concerned, for the sake of £100, I wouldn't dream of asking the tenant to pay it either.

I don't think that's really true, is it ? So, say, 4 players and having £40m to spend, can we really not get experienced players for £10m a pop - depending on age, contract length and wages. One example Curtis Davies moved for £1m - ok he's not top grade, but a reasonable player with prem...

However, Venus is the only player left who has actually won Wimbles. Even at 37 she still looks to be playing pretty well. Although I think Konta can beat anyone, it never really looked like she was going to win yesterday - she does try to hit everything as hard as possible, giving her lots of...

It's a trickle-down process, so the big boys will do their business first. It has started with Lukaku and Rooney etc. moving, then the next tier of players will start moving. I trust in the Albion way.

If you're using the word "hate" to describe a football team, you really need to think about giving up following football and re-adjusting your life-values. It's a far too extreme emotion, especially for something you really don't play any active participation in. For me, I'm not bothered at...

When I had a problem with an amazon delivery (the cardboard envelope was delivered with nothing inside - I'm not quite sure what the driver was doing) - I thought contacting Amazon would be a pain and my heart sank, but, surprisingly, I found it incredibly easy. They replied straight away and...

Although, they do have food, so they can snack on the way !

Womens cricket at international level is increasingly watchable - especially England. I struggle a little with womens football, it just seems so slow after watching the c'ship and the EPL, but it's coming on. There have been some terrific womens matches at Wimbles this year, though, I agree.

Off the top of my head : 1. Headingly 1981 Ashes test 2. Andy Murray winning Olympic gold 2012 3. Andy Murray winning Wimbles 2013 4. Liverpool winning Champions league 2005 5. Jess Ennis winning gold 2012 6. Mo Farah 2 golds 2012

Why ? She didn't steal anything, she was given the money. Yes, there was essentially a verbal contract to return it, but nothing that would stand up in court. The OP was kind, she abused it, so what, sh*t happens.

For that reason, I'm IN

Very tidy these days ... I don 't fly.

Indeed. Once you've been scammed, you are unlikely to help out the next time, which may be a genuine case. I don't give money to any beggars now, just because the I saw the guy, who used to be on London Bridge every day, get into a car and drive off - obviously didn't nee the money. That one...

Thank you kindly. One of my biggest regrets is that my dad didn't live to see Murray pick up the trophy. Tennis was his game, which is no doubt where I got it from (I was quite good at one point and got to play Boris Becker !) - shame he never saw any home success.

This is undoubtedly the strategy in my book. We have always operated a "sensible" policy, and not thrown money at it, and I don't see us changing now. Yes, we probably have more to play with now and breaking transfer and wages records could happen, but then the bar isn't too high in the first...

I would say you are missing out on a terrific sport, but then I would say that, I follow it all year not just these two weeks. Yes, there can be some duff games, especially if a big serve dominates, but it really can be quite gladitorial once you get into it. Darts, on the other hand....

I don't see what you can really do about players retiring - only they know how they feel and they may genuinely think they might be able to get through the match. It was suggested that you could offer half the prize money if they pulled out and let someone else play instead ... might work. You...

I noticed yesterday that my apples were starting to ripen, and they're an autumn fruit
