I think they missed a trick. The Mildmay line I would have called the Diana Line as she did so much to change the perspective on HIV. She also helped a lot of other good causes too. I quite like the Weaver line thing having looked at it. The Suffragette line, I would have called the Pankhurst line

In all honesty, the only one I really like is the Windrush. I think that's a great name. Suffragette seems okay, but the others aren't so striking for me. The Lioness is very lame. I can see what they are trying to do, but I think a single Euro victory reminder could have been replaced with...

I didn't pick it up at all. Surprised they didn't make more of it though. I guess they just accepted the bat first call.

Looks like we missed a wicket there.

Hold on, I haven't bought my popcorn yet.

Love it. I've been listening to radio shows from the 70s in Mixcloud. This comment made me think I'd gone back there too. I'd better get some flares !

Are they being renamed ? I never knew the overground had names. Obviously you know more about these things than I do though. I like the names- except the Lioness line. That's a bit strange. It's almost like we are desperate to show the world we won something. But they also won in '66, so there...

England: 1 Zak Crawley, 2 Ben Duckett, 3 Ollie Pope, 4 Joe Root, 5 Jonny Bairstow, 6 Ben Stokes (capt), 7 Ben Foakes (wk), 8 Rehan Ahmed, 9 Tom Hartley, 10 Mark Wood, 11 James Anderson

48. Zenith Data Cup First Round @ Plymouth in November 1990. When I look back it seems insane that I made that trip. I went to Newcastle for a postponed match a couple of weeks or so later.

My policy of never putting an NSC member on ignore

There used to be a chap on Radio Sussex who I really respected. He had a late evening show that run around 21.00-22.00 period. I thought he was great because it was a phone in and a lot of older people, who clearly missed company, would call in and talk about their days. They could mention the...

Mr Lion, or Mr Lying ?

The passing of Steve Wright had me in a very reflective mood. I grew up in the 70s with household names. We would all have had a favourite. I was introduced to Radio 1 in the late 70s and listened regularly for 4 or 5 years. Then there was the roadshows. I think my favourite was Peter Powell...

Nah, I'm just a tight fisted git who would never hand his wallet over. Not least to a spotty ned like the one that asked.

It's a good summary. I love radio and am a bit old fashioned in the way I view it. I was in the Smashie and Nicey category, but although Steve's shows weren't for me, I liked him and felt he struck a good balance between public service and entertainment. I can see why he was popular. It's a sad...

I'm moving out of the 45-54 survey group and will be leaving the 'taken too soon' category in March.

I love said offending top and have constantly been trying to find it. I have the modern version the club made, but it's not the same. Unfortunately said top identified me for a potential mugging in Preston once. I say potential. They asked me for my wallet, I said no, and they were so stunned I...

Agree with the first, sharply disagree with the second.

I'm not sure the words 'fair and objective' can go hand in hand with racial or religious intolerance. But you have accidentally given a summary of the problem. Folk with fair and objective opinions are being accused of racial or religious intolerance and open hate. I've seen a few reports of...
