I don’t believe for one moment that the Guardian would eulogise music made by, say, a person of Polish origin, not matter how good it was or how tough their neighbourhood might have been, if they had been […]

I see that Scotland didn’t take the knee before their first game in Glasgow today, but apparently will do when they play against England in London on Friday.

I wouldn’t want to be an England fan in a Scottish pub if England beat them on Friday.

4 replies thus far says something. Anyway, I bought a few things online at 6pm. I confess I have little or no idea where the shops involved are actually located. Having established over the years that the things I […]

Excellent idea, although I think you have committed a schoolboy error by including a piece of the actual fringe, rather than a faithful reproduction of the original.

I’ve ordered two. I am going to use the George figurines to replace the original androids in my game of Battling Robots.

Do any other readers have inventive uses for the extras included in this set ?

How many copies of a Beach Boys art book focussing on the turn of the 7Os would fly off the shelves for £90 a pop is a moot point. But perversely there is presumably a market when bundled with CDs, the bulk of […]

Discrimination in the US might relate largely to colour, but that’s not necessarily true everywhere in the world, nor even in every context within a country.

The ‘Native Americans’ also came from somewhere else, just not as recently.

Much discussion on the SDE web page and elsewhere that the albums aren’t really signed, but the product of modern equivalent of a rubber stamp.

Global warming, eh. Who gives a fuck.

He invented Jamaican’s, which is why he is allowed the accent.

Quite. What do people think defence barristers spend their days doing in the UK ? They spend their days defending people who they know are invariably guilty.

Barcelona and Real Madrid, arguably the keenest supporters of the ESL given their huge debts, are both owned by their members. I assume that the members are fans.

Some will care about their national teams, others won’t. If, as is still a possibility, the Super League ends up more Globetrotters than apogee of the game, then some players won’t bother and some players will. […]

Top heavy for the time being, but not when one or more is relocated to the States for the Far East and/or others merged to form the North London Invaders, Manchester Miserablists or somesuch.

No doubt, albeit it , like most American sports, of little interest to most people elsewhere in the world. It’s also similar to, say, basketball, in that there are loads of games and I doubt most people can […]

Musing further on this, another potential comparator is with the IPL. Limited number of teams with players frequently moving between teams. Some people I know in India inevitably end up supporting favourite […]
