    Recommend me a decent book

    The Sisters Brothers by Patrick deWitt - one of the best books I've read in recent years.

    Which Scottish football do you follow ?

    Queen's Park. My dad grew up about 200 yards from Hampden Park, and his father was a civil engineer who worked on the construction of the original ground.

    The Official 100th Tour de France thread, 2013.

    Definitely looked as if Froome took advice over the radio about the breakaway. Without it, he might have put the hammer down and the outcome could have been quite different.

    The Official 100th Tour de France thread, 2013.

    Mr Halftime Iceberg and I have gathered many, many freebies from the Tour over the years, but this - from today - was a first: A condom. Sponsored by a French Trade union.

    The Official 100th Tour de France thread, 2013.

    Judging by the number of utter morons in the crowd today, it'll be another 100 Tours before the race returns to Corsica.

    How do you make a living?

    Was a sub-editor until last month, when the magazine I worked on was closed. Now I'm a freelance sub-editor.

    Where now for Poyet ?

    Probably the most reasoned response I've read since this sorry state of affairs started. Couldn't agree with you more.

    So which fellow NSC folk do you know personally?

    I wake up next to one of them most mornings.

    Court case involving Albion players - the (new) only thread allowed - ALL found NOT GUILTY

    I believe (and I'm happy to be corrected if I'm wrong) that the verdict doesn't mean the players didn't do the things they were accused of, it means that their actions didn't constitute sexual assault and/or voyeurism.

    On a lighter note Post your good news ( I've got a new dog.)

    I was made redundant last week. Now I can go freelance (something I've wanted to do for a while), but with a bit of a nest egg behind me. And I should be allocated an allotment this weekend.

    Good / Bad Omens

    Bad omen: Got made redundant from my job yesterday. Good omen: Had been considering leaving for a while anyway.

    Animal cruelty up by 15%

    What a lot of people don't realise when they donate to the RSPCA is that any donations go straight into the head office's coffers. Absolutely nothing is distributed among local RSCPA rescues, all of which are, to all intents and purposes, independent and wholly responsible for their own fundraising.

    Friday Funny - Editing cock ups.

    As a magazine sub-editor, I kind of want to curl up and die rather than laugh at these. It could be me making that sort of cock-up next month...

    Club Kit Sponsorship dinner - did you contribute? Do you want to go?

    As one of the people on that table, I feel compelled to point out that Gus and Tanno knew the answers to precisely two of the questions! We got a bottle of champagne anyway, as my headache can testify...

    Oh FFS. I'm female, a feminist, and I've managed to click 'yes'. Think I need a holiday.

    The Ultimate NSC Doggie Thread

    Actual, genuine laugh-out-loud moment. If you ever saw him in the flesh, you'd be forgiven for mistaking him for a donkey - he's flippin' enormous.

    The Ultimate NSC Doggie Thread

    This is our greyhound, Archie. Like so many of the breed, he was dumped after his racing career came to an end. He came to us a complete bag of nerves and to say his anxiety was challenging is the understatement of the century. However, five years on, he is a thousand times more confident...

    Problem with tickets for Newcastle match

    Despite having signed up to the automatic cup ticket scheme, by yesterday I hadn't received any confirmation and couldn't see anything on my account on the website. Called the club this morning to find out that although I was signed up, there had been a problem with processing the tickets. I...
