    Cryptocurrencies

    Can you explain to me why you think so? Genuine question because I don't get it. I understand it is useful for criminals wanting anonymity on the internet - but that's hardly a big market (I hope) - not big enough to make investors lots of money (and not the kind of thing that I would...

    Cryptocurrencies

    It's following the typical bubble profile. The first fall has now taken place and we are in the dead cat bounce stage (a small increase for a period). Next is the big fall all the way back to where it started. This is the graph of bitcoin versus GBP for the last year (before that it flatlined...

    I thought that only his wife was permitted to call him Burge Butbits?

    3-0. Biamou with two. He wants to take the penalty for the third but McNulty insists and scores.

    Stand up if you've never watched Wasps

    Of course, and to express it. Just as those who judge others have the right to express their opinions. The question isn't one of rights, it's about whether it is a pleasant trait to supress the rights of others, even if it is only with words.

    Stand up if you've never watched Wasps

    That's fine. That's moving towards the line. You don't get to choose what other people do and think. And that's bounding right over the line, assuming the right to condemn other people who don't think exactly as you do.

    Stand up if you've never watched Wasps

    You can disagree with them being here without being nasty about people who don't share your opinion and go there. I find it worrying that many people in this country can no longer disagree with someone without going out of their way to be nasty to them. In my mind it shows a complete lack of...

    Stand up if you've never watched Wasps

    For me, this is about respect for other people and live and let live. I have no problem with people who don't like rugby, or who like rugby but don't want to watch Wasps. What I have an objection to is ganging together to cast insults at people who do. It seems to be a fundamental part of...

    Stand up if you've never watched Wasps

    A far more reasonable and considerate opinion than this for example. Not the first time that this poster has displayed a complete lack of respect for anyone who disagrees with him.

    Stand up if you've never watched Wasps

    Why is it never enough for some people just to like something, such as watching the Sky Blues? Why the need to make a point of disliking something else and belittling the people that follow that sport? I like football and rugby and cricket and other sports. I'll be watching the Six Nations in...

    Things that annoy you

    People who use their horn to bully and punish on the road. I'd only ever use my horn in exceptional circumstances; if I can avoid an accident by slowing down then that's the route I take - everyone makes mistakes, we don't need to startle and make people feel small when they do.

    Women says the most stupid things

    This post not specific to any gender. As a family, we were playing Articulate last night. It's a game where you have to describe a word on a card and your partner has to guess the word. We had some pretty inaccurate descriptions such as 'It's a place in Italy where they go boating". Lake...

    Exeter should win their game - but both Notts County and Luton have tricky away games. We may still be fourth if we win, having gained points on the top 2.

    Would love to buy into that. History tells us that the period before Christmas *is* us playing at the best standard available all season.

    If he doesn't go with the Burge option, I can see Willis playing LB; Grimmer LW and Davies CB.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    I agree. I'm right wing in the sense that I believe that managing a healthy economy is the most important thing that any government can do - but I detest the right wing social policies that Mart comes out with.

    Who'd have thought we'd be worried if Vincenti is fit given the scepticism directed towards him in recent weeks? I doubt he'll play - he looked very sore and there isn't enough time. Just a thought. How about putting Burge on the right wing and playing O'Brien in goal? He must be an absolute...
