And I don't think you need to be a hotshot lawyer to work out that they have no right to do this. Asking to see someone's ID? They're having a laugh.

I remember this happening not that long ago - Norn Iron's Chris Baird.

I honestly though last night was an improvement on the past few performances in two important respects: energy and tactics. We were trying to move the ball quickly, playing with high energy from the off, but were countered by a top performance from a (as always) physically strong Ipswich side...

Train from St Albans to Lancing - just over two hours - one change at either E Croydon or Haywards Heath. Very hard to get to Norwich once you're en route.

Chris Hughton says this in pretty much every post-match interview I hear, win lose or draw. I like it. In a way, it sums him up. Always calm and respectful, never hyperbolic. And the grammar is slightly odd, which makes it charming. In fact, how about using it as the replacement for 'Were...

He was a metronome. He seemed to hold time in his hands. For people who don't know his work, imagine the percussion equivalent of an amazing Vicente run: precise, elusive, and with a mastery of time and space. And he thought so much about his craft. He did an interview after his last gig in...

Absolutely. Hemed was immense. I take issue with anyone rating his contribution as 'OK'.

I agree with a lot of this (though I think you under-estimate how social a lot of young people's online life is). But I can't agree that it's government/council regulation that has created the changes you describe. It's people, of our own free will - obsessed with status, possessions, cars...

On the other hand, Yuval Noah Harari (in his book, Sapiens, I think) suggests that the highpoint for being alive is just before humans settled 10-11,000 years ago. Since then, our Faustian pact with agriculture has led us as a species to species "cast off our intimate symbiosis with nature and...

Damn you and your facts. OK "a child born seven years ago who has survived this long ..." or something like that. The reason it's seven is that there is higher mortality among the youngest children.

A 7 year old born in the West today is the safest person who has ever lived - more likely to make their next birthday than any person ever. I got this factoid from a book by the fella who is Professor of Risk at Cambridge University. Good job title, I think.

This could be a bigger result than this thread has suggested so far. The two pro-Hard Brexit parties (Tories and UKIP) didn't stand, to give Goldsmith a clear run, and the anti-Brexit candidate overturned a 23,000 majority, with on-the-ground campaign support from Greens (who did not run...

You may be over-estimating the significance of South East England.

Not sure about the 'stadium' bit - bit in my family the stadium is called 'Falmer'. Isn't that what most people called it as a shorthand while it was being campaigned for then built? We just carried on ...

I was guessing. But it would Be easy to see how much football actually happens currently, and set the time at the top end of the range. So two halves of 30 or of 35 mins in practice? The laws might need tweaking but not much. Eg introduce a time limit for taking a throw/corner/free-kick.

Thank you Bozza. No idea why neither the 10 nor 20 minute edits on Seagull Player has this. I'm (supposed to be) working, so just FFed through both versions looking for this, as it was the main thing I wanted to rewatch from last night.

Surely this is really easy to deal with: play for, say, 30 mins per half, but only count when the ball is actually in-play. Clock stops when ball goes out of play, when ref blows for free-kick, for substitution, etc, etc. Result: no incentive for time-wasting, no-one is short-changed. And it...

This. I went last year. We found food and drink to be London prices or less. Car hire isn't cheap, but you don't need a car in Reykjavik. You might want to bear in mind that you can't buy alcohol in supermarkets/grocers, so make sure you know where the closest Vinbudin is, if you like your...
