  1. Interesting article that suggests that Xitter is little more than a bot farm now... ABC article
  2. Gumps can concentrate on relegation now.
  3. I blame tennis. Umpires should have been on it straight away: "Hat violation Mr Gerulaitis. Loss of game, loss of match, loss of genitalia...."
  4. Interesting topic. No particular order... The Prisoner The Twilight Zone Doctor Who M.A.S.H. The Sky At Night I, Claudius Minder Bergerac Tenko The World At War Best one-off TV programme of all time bar none... Threads.

    Let's hope he doo doo doo doos well.
  6. India require 192 to win, following a collapse of Englandesque proportions.
  7. Lap of the gods. Every team in the top 6 is having 'iffy' spells of form, and I see no reason why that shouldn't continue until the end of the season.
  8. Moon probes prefer kipping on their sides. Beautiful plumage.
  9. Taken Derby into second place?
  10. This is one of those areas where we do agree, @Archied. I hate the idea of people being gagged as much as I hate the idea of book-burning , people being chastised/persecuted/shot for their beliefs, people's beliefs being thrust upon others etc. It's difficult knowing where to draw the line on what constitutes 'hate-speech' and at what point it becomes incitement. Saying that, I think that David Icke is, by and large, a harmless crackpot.
  11. Difficult decision. Gas bill or new season ticket?
  12. Blair Tickner signed for Derbyshire today.
  13. I think that people should create new crypto-currencies as a fun form of gambling. Step 1: Convert to pound coins Step 2: Find a drain Step 3: Throw coins at drain Step 4: Pick up coins that didn't go down drain - those are 'winnings'.
  14. It's why there's no word in Russian for 'Pension'.
  15. 2016 wants its vote back.
  16. Or return the ownership of the railways to their rightful owners and start anew. I feel that we have missed the boat though. The time for massive investment in infrastructure projects (e.g. public transport) is when interest rates are low.
  17. Never said it was. Perhaps, the rich countries ought to have a moral obligation to ensure that the less well off within them are able to reduce their expenditure by taking advantage of such things as free (or reduced cost) transport. I believe that the free public transport system was only introduced in Luxembourg 3 or 4 years ago.
  18. What is being seen in Europe (more than 50 cities and the entire country of Luxembourg now offer totally free public transport) is that poorer people are benefiting enormously because it leaves more money in their pockets. Saying that, many European mass transit systems are nationalised/state-owned, and the 'normal' fares were a fraction of the cost compared to the UK, so benefits overall are difficult to ascertain. In some cities, there has actually been a slight reduction in the number of people using public transport and a corresponding increase in the use of private cars. Perhaps there is an element of those who can afford the alternative to rubbing shoulders with the great unwashed doing precisely that.
  19. The biggest problem for Bolton might be the fact that they have to play all of the top sides. Equally, it could also work to their advantage - no time to relax.
  20. What sort of lunatic markets a perfume called 'Trump'?
  21. No, that tends to happen in away games. Perhaps it's a 'pressure' thing.
