It's been discussed before. I think the consensus was generally hope that it wasn't real, with some saying the surest indication it isn't real is that Amex would never sign-off on the logo being like that. Either way, it's not been announced yet so there's no way to know for sure.

The "fight and win" from this compilation is forever burned in my brain whenever I think of football in the US

Belgium's squad has been full of players that don't like each other for a while apparently. This is from a couple of years ago https://www.sportbible.com/football/belgium-world-cup-kevin-de-bruyne-jan-vertonghen-eden-hazard-20221129

Well that was very enjoyable.

An American Christian news website automatically censored the word when pulling in stories from other sites, perhaps not quite what they wanted when it came to Tyson Gay.

I'd like to see the takes they decided were too bad to use

It's interesting - historically that's true of Lib Dems and Lewes, but in Lewes now there's the perception among quite a few I know that Seaford dumps on us because the current Tory incumbent wants nothing to do with us, she's never seen in the town, has never as far as I know attended any kind...

This is something I've heard suggested by quite a few people, including some who work in the NHS, and seems to make a lot of sense.

That's one of the things that most amazes me. At 20 I would have struggled to say anything remotely intelligent about most things even if I'd spent time studying them and had absolutely zero expertise in anything. Yet he's managing to not only be an elite sportsman at 20 but also articulate and...

Mrs Exile and I met Lucy Worsley when she was filming about the Tudors in Lewes a few years ago. She'd hate me for sharing this but for some reason Mrs Exile thought we were talking to Paloma Faith the whole time, and wasn't sure why she was so interested in Mary I.

It's a good idea because the country depends on the quality of education a child has not being reliant on the wealth of their parents. Mixing with people from different parts of society and your community is generally good too. Proper investment in state schools is needed first, perhaps funded...

On Monday I spent a bit of time chatting with a relatively moderate long-standing Tory councillor in a (not around here) constituency that's been Tory since time began. She was very glum and said that there was concern in the party that this election could "end" the Tories. This was before the...

Funnily enough I'm at an event in a presentation about group behaviour and culture at the moment where this has just been shown to describe the ways in which people evolve their membership of (mostly online) communities

In my experience more people are indifferent to it than offended by it unfortunately

I think / hope we'll get to a point where we look at gambling and the ubiquitous nature of the adverts in the same way we now look at smoking and smoking adverts, especially how common they used to be in sport.

It's weird that so many fans would seem to prefer to watch England win on TV, as only a very small % might be at a final, than be actually present at the Amex watching Brighton win the league. I can't even begin to imagine how England winning on TV would be remotely even equivalent, let alone...

Great photo. My father in law raced in the 60s, mostly sidecars I think but occasionally solo. Love looking at the pictures.

Shouldn't um, louts, be on the thread about vandalism?

Not so much vandalism but the usual japes as a student. Closest thing I've done to actual vandalism was unintentional. On my first day of secondary school an older boy attacked me in the loos to show off to his friend. There was a bit of wrestling as he tried to throw me to the floor, and when...

All this talk about scoring from set pieces is worrying. There's a bloke near me who sees a corner as a good time to go to the loo. I fear for his bladder if this starts to change.
