    Ricky Ponting retires

    Interestingly Langer ha come out and said he hated it when the English crowds booed him. In some ways that booing is a backhanded compliment, maybe shouldn't happen but the likes of Warne embraced it as banter and dealt with it. Maybe his reaction to the run out in 2005 is partly to blame for...

    If club's positions reflected their average attendances......

    So what you are saying is that we would be fighting tooth and nail in a relegation scrap. GUS OUT !!!

    India v England - Test Series

    By the time we come to bat on day 3 (or late day 2) it will no doubt be turning. Even without our inability to bat against spin we just don't have the batsmen (other than Cook and Trott) who can bat for a whole day and a bit. That will also be our undoing I would think. KP can of course score...

    Newcastle United to rename stadium AGAIN? Its just Wonga..

    Absolutely this. If you look at the % APR's on their loans they are an absolute disgrace. They run in to the thousands. I have in the past worked with a debt advisory service and these companies are exactly that, legal loan sharks. And the more exposure they get as genuine businesses by...

    England Squad to tour India

    Surely if KP has nothing to hide from, then show them his phone!! It goes far more beyond the text messages though I think. Wherever KP has been, he has been tolerated for a while because he is so good, but eventually enough is enough. It also doesn't help that KP is not that bright and shoots...

    Olympic torch arrives in Sussex tomorrow

    My brother in law is carrying it on the Worthing leg late afternoon tomorrow. He works for a charity in Chichester (where he lives). His nomination came through a bit strangely, he only got nominated late last week. Not sure why or how but a great thing to do.

    Footballing Brothers - The Younger Brother Rule of Thumb Game

    It's an interesting debate but i would suggest that the initial theory put out there in terms of having to compete with older siblings is not right. I have just read a book called "Bounce" by Matthew Syed that looks at the issue of talent. The idea he proposes is that the notion of natural...

    The fire in Derby - parents arrested (merged)

    What a ridiculous thing to say without knowing the facts. Do you know just how long a process and what needs to happen to take kids away from their parents? You need to show all sorts of proof of neglect or abuse, often very hard to prove. Fed up of social services getting such a bad rap all the...

    Olympic Football Draw

    I've not done too bad - double header at the Millenium Stad of Mexico vSwitzerland and GB v Uruguay. Could have been worse.... now to try and get the wife enthused.

    Brighton & Hove Albion vs Derby County ***** Official Match Thread *****

    WI choked. Needed 1 to win off 3 balls and one guy ran the other didn't. Surely they would have spoken and agreed what they were going to do!!

    Best Team You Have Seen?

    I was very lucky to be at Wembley twice during Euro 96. Firstly the excitement of beating the Scots 2-0 and that Gazza goal was immense. Just when I thought it couldn't get better I rocked up a few days later and saw us tear apart the Dutch. OK so the Dutch were going through a load of...

    Yes he would. If he is doing it through a reputable letting agent they will probably deduct at source anyway as he is non resident.

    Bicester Village

    Have been dragged there a couple of times in very unsuccessful trips. Its all high end designer stuff which is expensive in the first place. You might be better going to the Swindon outlet centre which is less than an hour from Bristol and has a few good suit shops.

    Self employed working for one company..

    Its a difficult thing to do long term. Things that can help your case are things like having more than 1 "job" or not having the same rights as employees, having your own equipment/computer etc. If the company is willing to do it then they are taking a risk of not deducting PAYE and NI but if...

    Test cricket. England-v-Pakistan.

    Its a classic KP where he is in no form at the moment so he strives harder to be more aggressive instead of being relaxed and let the runs take care of themselves. No runs in the warm up games and no runs in the first 2 innings. Won't be dropped though. He continues to polarise opinion but when...

    Our Full Backs

    What worried me about Calde last night was his decisions and his positioning. On a tricky pitch with quick players running at you any full back can be beaten but on a few occasions he looked bad because of his positioning, either stepping out the line too early or being tucked in too much.

    Test cricket. England-v-Pakistan.

    Very poor shot from Cook. Can't see England getting the 400 we need now as the spinners will keep on taking wickets. Reckon we'll get 300 tops.
