    [TV] Death in Paradise, new series.

    I think its fine - a nice escape to a sunny place, a plot that's easy to follow without having to think too much. The quality of the acting is irrelevant really - its all pretty lame, but who cares? Having lived on a similar Caribbean island for several years in the 90s/00s it takes me back too.

    [Misc] Kids being sent home from school

    Without casting nasturtiums - are you sure he wasn't hamming it up a bit for the teachers? He may have appeared somewhat sicker to them than he appeared to you.

    [Food] O/T Bit of market research for our new restaurant

    Well if it was me, it'd be jerk fish and chicken. Difficult sell to the North Americans though who often wont go near anything without the word 'burger' in it, and would be scared of the jerk spices.

    [Technology] On the fence

    Ah well that's where you're wrong. Mine blew out of the concrete posts.

    [Football] Peanut Butter,how do you like it and what with ?

    I dont like peanut butter, I don't like jam. But put them together on a slice of toast and something magical happens.

    [Travel] (not) Chaos on the Road

    Every year we have a story like this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-42445966 - predicting doom and chaos on the roads on the last working day before the Christmas break. It is then followed by shock and surprise when it turns out to be quieter than a usual Friday. Why are these organisations...

    [Travel] European Weekend Break (with teenagers)

    Brussels is fab. - and Eurostar security isn't as bad as an airport - its far more painless. Loads of cheap hotel deals when the Commission are on their hols too. Easy and plentiful parking at Ebbsfleet.

    [Albion] Ashley Barnes MIXING It From The Moment He Came On

    Disgraceful dive by Ryan - clearly trying to get Ash carded.

    [Albion] Sean Dyche - slippery as an eel

    Well he was spot on - disgraceful dive from Isquierdo. Should've got a yellow. The elbow should've been a pen.

    [Albion] Calvert - Lewin goes down for another 'pushing' penalty

    I didn't think it was a penalty - it was very well 'bought' by the striker. The defender's hand contacted the striker's back but only because he got in front of him and decelerated. Once his back contacted the hand he then threw himself forward onto the turf.

    [Albion] If we get stuffed at Spurs, will it be time to "do a Stoke"?

    - buy an 8-foot striker and a 4-foot winger?

    [News] Should The Church pay tax?

    There are many Christian groups doing wonderful things and all credit to them. I have a problem with your last line though. The CofE as a whole though cannot be said to go quietly about their business doing good. It's a church of two very different halves. One is the side you refer to, but...

    [News] Should The Church pay tax?

    Maybe its more of a village thing. Most local village fete's round here are on behalf of church funds. Old ladies selling their teapots on the white elephant stall raising money for the organisation that owns (or still has a sizeable stake in) the Metro Centre, speaks for itself.

    [News] Should The Church pay tax?

    It does indeed. But its income is truly vast and it sits on a massive investment portfolio. The above worthy examples take a tiny fraction of their income. To have them shaking tins for upkeep of the church roof is a complete joke.

    [News] Should The Church pay tax?

    Indeed - but it could sell one of the multi-million pound shopping malls it owns with no problem whatsoever.

    [News] Should The Church pay tax?

    Exactly - events in aid of fixing the church roof is a bit like holding a jumble sale to raise money for the repairs to Richard Branson's Caribbean retreat.

    [News] Mugabe gone

    I tell you what - you may have just hit on something there. The timing can't be coincidental. What a great coup for Ant and Dec and the whole programme....

    [Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Stoke City *** Official Match Thread ***

    You seem to have it too! Do you understand that it can be neither a corner nor a goal kick when the ball hasnt crossed the goal line and Murray is on the ground holding the ball in his hands? It was a definite pen, but once the ref has decided it wasn't, it is definitely not a corner or a goal...
