Two individuals who have proved themselves incapable of putting any sort of coherent case for the side of the argument that they have chosen to support.

50 over games seem to be £16 for adults, if bought on-line in advance.

Yes ... But not necessarily in the right order. :)

I'm glad to receive these occasional reports about crap TV shows that I never watch. It confirms my view that I am right to have let the "entertainment" industry pass me by.

This will never deliver the "lively" occasions that DR and his chums miss so much. But it will give them the opportunity to retire with dignity and not have to admit that they are, in fact, simply too old, to say the least, to continue.

I can't be the only old git on NSC who remembers the period in sixties, when "draft dodger" was a badge of honour. It was quite obvious that it was the US who were the perpetrators of evil in Vietnam and that the war needed to be resisted. Has history and Hollywood really changed that view?

Will they declare and let Serbia have a bat?

A small, but significant part of his greatness was his willingness to expose his Parkinson's to public view. I'm sure that this acted as an encouragement to other people who live with that condition.

Almost as entertaining as the snippet of the Iceland women stuffing the Scots 4-0 that was shown at half-time.

I thought Danny Boyle was quite conciliatory on Radio 4 earlier, when he said that most Scots aren't any longer hoping for England to lose every game. I didn't quite catch what he said next, though.

Blimey. 73.33 per cent now say STAY. Never underestimate NSC's ability to rig a poll.

The Hare and Hounds? Shirley not. The Stanford Arms, I think. My best time with Dave Swarbrick and the rest of the Fairports was at something called the Sheffield Festival in 1992, when an old friend of mine managed to swing a deal that had me compering a Fairport Convention concert on the...

Folk musician Dave Swarbrick has died at 75, his family have announced. Best known for his work with the hugely influential folk group Fairport Convention, Swarbrick was a virtuosic violin player and one of the most highly regarded musicians of the 1960s folk revival. He also wrote, arranged and...

I don't understand why we continue to use cash at all. I'm quite happy with a contractless debit card and I only carry cash to pay the rapidly diminishing number of retailers who haven't caught up with recent developments.

Am I the only person who remembers when another team with no resources and a tiny ground was a dead cert for relegation from the Championship? Coincidentally, they also carried the name "Albion".

It seems to be the case that people on NSC are imagining that the refugees reached France direct from Albania and that they therefore should be returned direct to Albania. But how does anyone without an air ticket get direct from Albania to France? The same applies to the journey that these...

But was there DANCING?

My guess is that there is no small print. The deal is:- I'm Cellino, I've misled people in the past and I'll do it again. I've always got away with it and nobody ever stops me.

I'm inclined to think that this is not a fixture that needs to be bogged down in rules. We've always managed to avoid the game being too one-sided and yesterday's result (a narrow victory/defeat, with the winner being scored a few minutes before the final whistle) seems to confirm that...

Indeed. Boris Johnson is interested only in enhancing the power of Boris Johnson and his chums. If "the British People" imagine that this is anything to do with us getting greater control over our lives, we are very much mistaken.
