    Live comm

    Okay, I'm tired of the Argentine commentary team and really want it in English to go with the pictures on local TV. BBC says "for contractual reasons" I cannot listen because I am outside the UK. Anyone know of any other radio stations broadcasting the comm on line? Ta.

    Sky news or BBC news?

    I wish! BBC World or CNN International. Not a great choice but at least for a few hours each day DWTV (Deutsche Welle TV) broadcasts in English too and their progs are much better.

    My local Rugby League side (Bridgend Blue Bulls) recently lost to another Welsh side for the first time ever (3 years since formation), but the ref looks a bit dodgy from the report. Here's an extract from the local rag: The Bridgend Blue Bulls' proud record of never having lost to a Welsh team...

    Sportsman

    I tried to go in but I was with a couple of Sunderland friends and the bouncers wouldn't let us in. Did they really think that there would be trouble? It's not as though it was a group of lads, just 3 married couples, aged between 34 and 45! I guess we must have looked like hooligans. still...
