I've got to disagree with that. I studied biology in 1994 and don't remember climate change being seen as immediate then. I would also suggest that the amount of change over 27 years has been big but it just hasn't been enough and other areas have also changed for the worse. There's two issues...

26th July - u23's playing dorking wanderers at their new stadium (surrey FA HQ I think)

Theres an 'english' pub in the old town called the empire that is very popular with the students. Looked like the students have a right old party around there and in the streets close by every weekday!!

ha - I think I must have seen this bunch of herberts at gatwick, being shepherded by the transport police to ensure they got on the reading bound train. About 30 of them, all kiddies clad in stone island and Burberry. They actually seemed quite mellow. best bit was one of them going around and...

Met Iain Dowie at heathrow terminal 5 a few years back. I said hi but he was in a total flap as he was late for a flight and had left his ticket somewhere. On another occasion at heathrow I saw Carlton Palmer sitting in the airside bar - it was so hard not to shout out CARLTON as per Graham Taylor

Totally agree - its my least favourite european city but that said - the one highlight of being there was seeing the book of kells - which was interesting if you like books bound in skin!

kobo for me - cheaper, also has a light, does what it says on the tin. My wife has devoured about 400 books in the last 12 months on hers and she thinks its great.

I only spent a few days there, but enjoyed the royal palace and the prison that used to be a school was suitaby harrowing. Watched the sunset from the FCC while enjoying vodka springrolls which was far better than being at street level and watching the locals take a dump in the street!!

I'm not totally sure but I think this would link with the animal welfare act - if the vet has stipulated that the dog needed castrating for health reasons then it is possible that an owner who refused that could be in trouble for animal cruelty.

The report quoted by Rivet seems classic science garbage to someone who works in veterinary epidemiology. This is just a study on the proof of principle that pigs could be infected and so they most probably used massive amounts of virus to cause the reaction, which would not be realistic in the...

I certainly remember going away to ashton gate and seeing brighton play for a 0-0 as it was what we needed to do - wasn't a great game for either sets of fans but everyone knew that we had too much to lose by gambling for the win. No idea why everyone believes all the tabloid rubbish written...

Sorry - can't remember the name of the place where I stayed in phu quoc but it was a bit of drive from the airport. It only had 8 basic chalets scattered about and was run by a german/ vietnamese couple.

I only spent a week in vietnam and found it too commercial and western after spending a fortnight in cambodia which was far more fascinating. However, I did spend a few days in ho chi minh which was alright and used that as a base to visit other places. Went to the cu chi tunnels, which were...

wow - the malaysian league has come a long way. I went to watch penang panthers verses sabah rhinos in a big game that penang needed to win about 14 years ago and there was only a crowd of 1,500! good fun though.

I totally agree. I had a nightmare getting to and from the game and we lost to a minnow club managed by a half wit - but I actually really enjoyed the game. On another night it could have been 5-0. Lovely attacking moves, ince and agustien looked very promising and everything mentioned above. It...

Surprised so many at the game were moaning about the corners - they ended up with a decent shot from about 50% of them, which is far better than usual. Totally agree with the credit given to charlton and their tactics. They totally unnerved our back four and forced a lot of errors from us. The...

errm - wasn't it wickhams nice dribble that set up a simple tap in for the 3rd goal (I think it was the one scored by that bolton player, sordell). His goal certainly wasn't his only contribution but otherwise he was ponderous in the box and his shooting wasn't great. Totally agree that the...

wife was interviewing inmates in the prisons around j'burg as part of her psychology training. Didn't sound like the most fun to have when your a young woman!

My wife has been to a few prisons in SA and her instant response was that OP must be a huge suicide risk now as not many can survive in prison and the prospect on being sent down must be awful.

How about the dog-sick slime mould? So bizarre that no one seems to know how to categorise it. Has a life cycle that goes between single celled amoeba, large mushroom type growth and creeping piles of yellow sick. Certainly one of natures prototypes that went wrong.
