Complete non-story. I've got no interest in his sordid private life, nor indeed in his (unsurprising) political views. The only (slightly) amusing part of it is his apparent surprise and indignation when the woman hadn't heard of him and he had to get her to google him Sent from my iPhone...

Why does the plumber need to be in the Seven Dials area? Most plumbers have vans these days and are capable of traveling all over the city (or even further afield). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sampled a range of interesting craft beers at The Wolf on Constitution Hill. Tried the Old Joint Stock but heaving and couldn't get a seat. A brief intermission for food (tapas) and wine at Amantia on Bennett's Hill. Where next.. who knows? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Albion banners and luggage in the car shortly, leaving early afternoon, beer balti and Premier Inn this evening, canal-side run first thing in the morning and then off to Villa Park. Can't wait

Try tweeting either Villa themselves or their chief exec His twitter is https://twitter.com/retsub12/with_replies?lang=en-gb They hate that because it's very public

Outrageous. It should read "... and do not meet this criterion". Illiterate Brummies.

Many thanks - really helpful to have some suggestions from someone who knows the area. Looking forward to it!

Any specific Birmingham suggestions? (for those of us who'll be there on the evening of Saturday 6 May, prior to you know what...)

No, the teacher in question was definitely poor, in my view, and this view is not simply based on her reluctance to engage with grammar etc. My son did pretty badly at the GCSE in question (not helped by the fact that this same teacher "lost" my son's coursework project, along with those of most...

I don't excuse either parents or individuals from responsibility. Having said that, and again talking only from my own experience, I still think the schools have a lot to answer for. One example, from many: having spent some time trying to explain grammatical mistakes to my kids and helping them...

Not being able to spell or use correct grammar doesn't necessarily make you an idiot. You could just be a victim of slack teaching in Brighton's schools. I speak from experience: neither of my adult children are idiots, but their spelling and grammar are, by any standards, poor.

Well they're going to have to do a bit better than offer poxy merchandise vouchers that you have to spend in the stadium shop within a short time window, if they're going to persuade me and my other half to put our seats on the ST exchange on the few occasions we can't go. We've had two vouchers...

In the hills above Sorrento. Listened to the five live commentary through a vpn. Gutted to miss it. Looking forward to the champions party at the Bristol city match Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Appreciate the offer... however, I was kind of hoping she wouldn't get to hear about the beamback.

There is that... although that won't help the domestic 'loyalty points' situation. Plus, the plan was that she would drive and I would drink.

Shame - I've got one, and was hoping to get one for my partner tomorrow, as she's just below the loyalty threshold to get one today. Will go on waiting list, but suspect it won't happen

Agree with all that. Instead of a discount on next year's entry, I'd like an official T-shirt with "I was 146m short" on it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Even if you don't really care about "official" times, which I don't, this does take the edge off it a bit. I don't quite understand why or how it's taken three years to spot the error though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
