Had my first game of football golf the other day. Great fun - highly recommended. There were five of us. Four of us had played football competitively - the youngest still does. The oldest one of us was not into football and had not really played since schooldays (he's a very fit 64). To our...

Either way, the fact it's being pointed out in the chant is the point!

Just caught up with this - absolutely brilliant. So well acted almost seemed like a documentary. Like the PJ Harvey song at the end too.

Either deluded or shysters - there is no other reasonable explanation.

Starting Tai Chi in October with a mate who teaches it. He reckons it will be great for improving my suppleness, balance and general fitness. It will be a major achievement for me if I ever manage to touch my toes, something I've not done since a kid. He can gets his palms flat on the ground...

Yep, easy reading and insights into the foolishness of young men with big money. Also never realised Peter Crouch holds the record for the most headed goals in the Premiership. This will probably never be beaten. He comes across as a real fan of the game and pretty mentally strong in dealing...

Read his book, 'How to be a Footballer' over the summer - fascinating and funny read. Just to say he confirms what we all knew about Craig Bellamy being a complete twat. Apparently often referred to himself in the third person (like the Donald) especially when bigging himself up. That's not...

Lineker has the most annoying voice on TV and yet is paid millions I believe to front MotD. Also think that the great Dion has an incredibly boring tone and tends to talk in clichés. There's some great female commentators out there - very impressed with Alison Mitchell on 5 live Test Match...

Congrats GE Some advice - don't name her Chelsea or Paige, don't give her a well known name but spelt in an unusual way in an attempt to be different, encourage a love of books and reading as this is one of the most significant factors in educational attainment, development of imagination...

Today swimming at my local beach (North Sea lovely and warm this time of year) met a Cov fan with his kids - thought Midlands schools might be back by now? I was swimming with my dog and he asked me what breed it was - from that question I could tell his accent was Cov. Also met a bloke when...

Bell Green was my old stomping ground growing up in the area. Sounds like it's gone downhill a bit! It used to have a great Greek chippy I seem to remember, also a bakery called 'Elizabeth the Chef' which made delicious cakes. My mate's dad ran the Rose and Crown pub. Went to Bell Green Primary...

Kind of related to England - on Saturday went to see a charity comedy stand-up gig at my local small market town venue (massive credit for Hal Cruttenden for supporting this) and it amused me when he told the story about a gig in Glasgow: he asked the Scottish crowd whether they always supported...

Read through the EU thread, take notes, weigh the evidence and let us all know if there are any firm conclusions.

That's right, I try to avoid the working classes now. :)

Don't like all this shepherding the ball out by not playing it, seems like obstruction to me. Not sure how you could counter it though. Maybe allow very robust shoulder charges.

Fascinating and sad series. Been following it since 7up. Amazing social history record. Made me think about my own experience of social mobility growing up in Cov. Pretty much all of my mates, family members, cousins etc had parents who had working class jobs (in factories mostly). Pretty much...

Yes great top, shame about the missing apostrophe though.

They also were responsible for the raising of the income tax threshold so that low wage earners (everyone actually) could keep more of their earnings an easy non-bureaucratic policy which makes a difference. I seem to remember Labour abolishing the 10p tax rate and immediately doubling the tax...

In the Tour de France punctures would have to be repaired by the cyclist with spoons and a bowl of water. To space out the peloton, bikes would be fitted with chariot blades on their wheels.

In the Olympics all the athletes should be naked as in the original ancient games. Except the shot putters obviously.
