    Brew Dog 'punk' beer

    I think this particular wording is new, but they've always done this kind of anarchist punk rubbish on their bottles. It's a shame that their branding is so annoying as their low percentage beers are amazing! Scottish though, so what do you expect?!

    Chris Powell - an apology

    Probably only the second most embarrassing celebrity bothering, after the blokes who kept shouting 'get the dove from above' to Bob Mortimer on the Lewes platform. Poor bloke was just coming to watch a game of football! To be fair though, they really wanted to see those fingers, they really...

    Question Time

    Is Mick Hucknall the Least interesting guest Question Time has ever had? Even DD seems pissed off to have to actually involve him!

    Teachers Strike

    I'm currently doing a PGCE, and I can honestly say it is by a long long chalk the hardest thing I've ever done. Got in at half 7 this morning, just got back and am about the start planning an a level lesson. It's really really not a cushy job. Good holidays yes, but you can't choose when you...

    Rogers Profanisarus !!!

    It's actually 'about as useful as Anne Frank's drunkit', which is even funnier. I've always liked 'R Kelly weather' - for when the temperature is 'dipping into the teens'.

    Andy Naylor savaged after game

    The answer is simple - Guardian's Football Weekly Podcast. People who were not in the game are proved to be invariably more interesting and less blinkered than ex professionals. As soon as the viewing public realise that hearing ex-professionals churn out the same old crap - 'he'll have wanted...

    If you're 2-0 down at home...

    I have never seen any manager who makes knee jerk changes after going behind, even when two goals. I'm not entirely sure why, but if you're using it as a stick to best Oscar with then you obviously haven't seen much football.

    £300k a week for next 5.5 years. Would you lose interest if.....................

    Hmm. Whilst you're right to say that realistically most of us would take as much money as we were offered, I'm not sure Rooney (and by extension his team of advisors) can be considered blameless. This is the second successive contract that he has negotiated by using heavy handed player power -...

    What minor things annoy you

    People that treat their kids as some some sort of burden that was placed on them as a sense of duty eg. "where am I supposed to find the time to do that with 4 kids to look after?", "it's all very well you saying that, try saying it when you've got 4 kids at home", "much easier for you, you...

    City Break Ideas

    Bit late, but my favourite city break was Lisbon. Really pretty to look at, cheap food and beer, lots of cool drinking terraces with amazing views, interesting things to see, lovely city to wander in. Most of all, it's not too big, which I always find overbearing on weekend breaks. Sintra also...

    Anyone else a bit meh about the winter Olympics?

    I think you've missed my point. I appreciate that sliding down ice takes some skill - I just find that particularly with winter Olympics it seems like there's loads of very niche events that are all different ways of sliding down ice, it does, to me, very much feel like someone sitting down...

    Anyone else a bit meh about the winter Olympics?

    Winter Olympics seems like a massively bloated event to justify its own existence. How many different ways and combinations of people can they think of to slide down some ice? Does no one get the impression they add in as many things as possible to make it seem like a sister event to the main...

    Question Time tonight-George Galloway

    Doesn't Galloway need to get a new set of point-scoring cliches to fit into every argument, no matter how irrelevant? You could hear the audience groaning and everyone awkwardly shifting when he managed to make some spurious remark about MPs having their moats cleared or bankers bonuses being...

    [Music] The Live Music thread

    So did anyone see Warpaint last night? I was seriously impressed - the new album is only half-working for me but it all sounded impressive live. The sound was excellent, the set was varied. And most importantly, oh my GOD they're hot. Especially the singer on the left!

    Anyone take a picture of the scoreboard when we scored ?

    It would have said 57 minutes. The goal was scored in the 58th, which is anything up to 57.59. 58 is the 59th minute. The first minute of the game ends with the clock saying 1 minute. Etc.

    Why Zaha's not playing for Man U

    Any news on the Titanic? It's been ages since it left Southampton.

    The must-have albums of 2013

    Disagree with you actually! Ha. I think I was totally wrong - Field of Reeds is, dare I say it, even better than Hidden. I don't know how this band are not getting more attention, Field of Reeds to me sounds like the kind of album that people would still be talking about in years and years to...

    "The fantasy of addiction" - Peter Htichens

    I hate defending Hitchins but this is missing the point. You can't become an addict to something until you've taken it. You wouldn't know you were an addict until you've taken something for the first time. Hitchins' idea is that if you make sentencing much tougher it would deter people from...

    I can't see much big being added to that day's line up. The National and Neil Young are a pretty amazing double header. For what it's worth, the current Neil Young and Crazy Horse tour is ****ing incredible. Saw them at O2 and was one of the best gigs I've ever seen. How that will translate to a...

    "The fantasy of addiction" - Peter Htichens

    I think Hitchins point has always been that making punishments for drug charges far more severe would act as a deterrent. Whether that is right or wrong (I somewhat doubt it), it is never adequately proved to be so by a celebrity who has had a relatively easy route out of their problem and is...
