I don't think I'm a fan either, but if you've never seen this clip I strongly recommend it. They play like maniacs, and Dave Pegg's lead-bass picking technique is impressive:

Excellent cursing there. 5*

I'm generally a bit less cynical about stuff than many but I lean towards agreeing with you. At the end of the day I can't see a way that - within that limited window - they wouldn't end up in competition with each other. And you can watch the women's match if you want - just press the red button!

I read the article and couldn't work out whether it was a genuine 'hey - wouldn't it be great when we get to a point where the women's game can self-sustain!' or a more sinister floating of 'hey investors, nudge nudge, we might be able to fix it so you can cherry pick'.

I do find it odd how the Labour party seem to have latched onto winning-strategy-populism as being 'look, we can hate immigrants also!' whereas there is a massive, massive open goal in saying 'right - we put VAT on private schools - now next year we're going to double it!'

Would have been so taken aback I'm not sure what I'd have done in that situation. (Prob thought of loads of things to say way after the event, then gone to bed fuming)

This is basically my ideal podcast business plan - subscribers get the podcast WITHOUT all the extra content.

I'm not a US radio listener but what immediately leapt out for me: if you'd asked me to guess three or four Beatles tracks that might make that list, 'Michelle' wouldn't be at the front of my mind.

That's lovely, thank you. I was confused by the video just showing the then-trio until I read about the timeline. ( I'd known that Robin had left at one point, but hadn't made the connection)

Up here at the top of the pyramid, I believe Norfolk is separate.

Spot on. People do tend to focus on his words, but he was an absolute master of the banging tune.

It's really not appreciated that the job gets more difficult the lower down the chain you go. Skippering a first team = piece of cake!

Kesteven basically brutalised my daughter's uni team earlier this month... 180-odd off 100 balls. So we're watching this with a certain amount of vindication...

My wife put floor cleaner in the rinse aid compartment once. It took weeks to work its way through. It's amazing how long rinse aid lasts when you actually WANT it to run out.
