    Cheltenham Highlights

    The defender only releases Biamou's arm after he's fallen - Biamou isn't leaning in, he's being pulled down.

    Has to be doesn't it? When Biamou doesn't go down with the first jump on the back the defender appears to drag him to the floor by the arm.

    Cheltenham Highlights

    I guess it depends on where on your seat he was placed. If he was on your lap it might be OK, but with you on his lap he could have been unsighted.

    Venezuela

    You got me; that's exactly what I wrote, almost verbatim. "The UK economy is identical to Venezuela's" is what I wrote and thanks to your insight I now stand corrected.

    Venezuela

    Maduro has now banned opposition parties from standing in the 2018 election. Two selected quotes from this article: "Venezuela has been mired in a worsening economic crisis characterised by shortages of basic goods and soaring inflation." "Supporters of Mr Maduro say his party has lifted many...

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

    The only mandatory voting I have ever heard of came from dictatorships. Personally, I support the right to abstain.

    First ever record you bought?

    I cannot remember. However, apparently, Morrissey used to ask this very question to people auditioning. If they chose something he thought inappropriate he wouldn't hire them.

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

    Mart, from memory there are three key things you need to get right to get reliable information from any sampling exercise: 1) The questions must be clear and neutral (the Indie one isn't, it mixes other factors and then attempts to draw a conclusion on just one of them) 2) the sample size must...

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

    I make no claim about other towns in the south. My claim is about Winchester. My questionnaire was also more fair than the one in the Indie - as I didn't lead the subject on by mentioning losing their civil rights or having a state of warfare if they didn't answer CCFC.

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

    I just took a sample of 1 and have concluded that all people living in Winchester are CCFC supporters. Take that as an indicator if you wish; I don't.

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

    Mart, that's not correct. The bag is Northern Ireland. Don't mean to be rude but I'm calling superior knowledge on this one as someone who studied statistics to degree level as part of a maths degree. Believe what you want but a 'so called expert' is saying that this survey is flawed and you...

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

    And it's not the source I'm questioning Tony - the question is bad and the sample size is so small as to make the results irrelevent. I know a little about surveys from my degree. Let me try to explain. 1) If you want to draw conclusions you need to ensure that your question is clear, has no...

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

    I'd be very surprised if it were correct. Historically only about 20% of people wanted to leave the UK. However if there is a majority now then I'd support them leaving.

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

    It's OK, I've answered my own question: "On 25 March 2010, Independent News & Media sold the newspaper to Russian oligarchAlexander Lebedev for a nominal £1 fee and £9.25m over the next 10 months" Bit of a misnomer calling itself the Independent doncha think?

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

    "More than 2,000 people in Northern Ireland were asked whether they would vote to join a united Ireland or to stay in the UK "in the context of a hard Brexit... leaving the EU with no deal on the border, the Good Friday Agreement or citizens' rights". Misleading headline - it's a bad survey...
