Hotel prices are very reasonable in Birmingham just after Christmas. I’ve got into the Ibis (New Street) for £40 a night (normally over £80). It’s not luxury but perfectly respectable (in the middle of Chinatown etc). But do avoid the Ibis Budget on the main road, it’s ghastly.

1. The first of those sources makes no mention of 2.5%. 2. The second refers to “recent reports suggest….” without giving a source without me creating a login. If you’ve the original source please let us have it. 3. The Sky report refers to another article which reveals that the original report...

You don’t give the source for the 2.5% so it’s difficult to analyse (presume that's annual, and presume we’re talking about now), but if you were to add that to the UK GDP growth (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_real_GDP_growth_rate) then the UK would have phenomenal...

I was told that if you had your Betamax player stolen by a night time house-breaker, you should walk down the street to the nearest street-light and you’ll find the machine abandoned in a hedge.

My second cousin’s wife’s brother’s in law grand-nephew is Jack Hinshelwood (and I was born in Seaford). Will that do?

I was wandering around a supermarket in Krakow earlier this year looking for Bum, and finally found it.

The problem is that when you withhold information you provide a vacuum in which unsubstantiated facts, worse than you withheld, can thrive. You also provide a precedent for further unsubstantiated proposals the next time a similar event happens. The truth can be dangerous, but nowhere near as...

From the graph, it looks like we need a good old-fashioned war (hot or cold).

Using immigration to boost growth can only be a short term solution. Longer-term, those who immigrate stop being productive and cause an even greater demand on tax revenues to support them. It’s a downward spiral. What’s needed is more balance with the people we’ve got. Get more people off “the...

Just like “cromulent”, “can I get” belongs to another part of the English-speaking world, but maybe you’re whooshing me. I admire anyone who forces me to head for a dictionary.

I think that anyone who orders a drink by saying “Can I get a …….” should be sent, un-served, straight to the back of the scrum. But I’m old.

My positive is from looking at all the replies above, and seeing so many different players named as being good, that all (cough, cough) our players played well. I’d have hated to have called out our player of the match. While I was crawling up the aisle afterwards, dripping tears onto the tiers...

Arsenal seem to be resting Trossard by getting him to referee the Fenerbace Man U game

Dontcha hate the current trend of painting pubs to look like Farrow & Ball paint cards.

Agree with lot of what you say but “shipping goals” isn’t one of their problems. They’ve only shipped one more goal than Brighton.

I know our game on Saturday wasn’t exactly a classic, but this is truly dreadful. If it weren’t for the names on the scorecard I’d have thought I was watching L1 stuff.

So, essentially, you don’t mind what the views of the owners are (or you’d have to check before going into any pub) but you object to hearing his views. Always had problems with free speech?
