Foden's really getting in there, hellish unlucky to be denied by that prescient Dutch defender.

Grumpily cynical political geek, would-be carpenter, bad guitarist. Politically left of centre by some distance. Like rugby, judo, rock, atrocious puns and my cat.

I have fond holes in my memory from a couple of decades ago, when there were still (even in 2003!) £1 a pint nights in Swansea.

I call bullshit, that tradition is alive and well in Swansea, every Friday night down Wind Street.

In Moran's case, she ran out of stuff to write well about some time ago. Which is sad, because she wrote some great stuff. Apparently having to have An Opinion on something every week really burns creativity.

Given what they've already ploughed ahead with in the first week, no question about it. They've just seen what happens when you lurch into an election by accident, and they took a lot of notes.

I haven't seen any evidence of anyone capable of effectively leading the party since Johnson cleared out anyone who could be a threat. He's killed the Tories.

That's very good. A clear-eyed assessment from the sort of analytical, realistic conservative mind we need in opposition.

Just got my pizza out of the oven and promptly dropped it on the floor face down. Too angry to cook another one tight now, will have to do it later.

Insta-delete for me. Not least because I see a lot of email scams about McAffee subscriptions so it's better all round to have nothing to do with it.

My wife also loves that, and I find it equally weird. I don't recommend paying attention, I nearly ended up with a nosebleed the one time I tried.

Absolutely, I really don't want to disparage anything - simply that it's not nearly so powerful as most Islay or Campbeltown malts. The range of different barrel finishes Glenmorangie put out is quite amazingly varied.

Glenmorangie is known as a very safe choice as it's entirely unthreatening and quite light in flavour. It is good, certainly nothing at all wrong with it, but it's regarded by serious malt fans as a bit bland and boring.

Agree, if he absolutely has to be allowed to speak he needs to be heavily stepped on the second he gets out of line, or it'll be unworkable.

I think the Speaker having a very firm "no Farage" policy might be a good start. It's up to the Speaker who gets to talk, and if Farage never gets called, tough shit

I understand. I also like to be generous but sometimes find myself unable to be as much so as I would prefer. I hope things soon improve enough for you to be closer to where you want to be.

You're sharing what you can, so you still are a generous person. And that would still be the case if all you were able to share was time.

Yep. I can do some meditation, but emptying a mind like a kaleidoscope is difficult. I do better with mindfulness type stuff while doing repetitive or focus-requiring tasks like woodwork or lawn mowing.

Please forgive the personal question, but do I recall correctly that you have adhd? I do, and asking me not to think about stuff is like asking a housefly to sit still.

Listening to James Timpson's interview, it is clear that he would like to see a sea-change in sentencing policy. That will not be his remit, but if the new PM supports such a change, I think it would have very significant ramifications for our political culture. Let me explain. /1

He was very much yesterday's man when he left office, and that he has yet to realise this is somewhere between tragedy and bathos. If only Starmer were equally inclined to ignore Mandelson, I'd be a lot happier.

That's a really nice cot, but the colour scheme instantly put me in mind of a notoriously vicious restaurant review by Jay Rayner, who described Le Cinq in Paris as "decorated in various shades of beige, taupe, and fuck you."

A) there are a great many people in Ulster who will explain to you, at great length, why they are not Irish B) unless you hold, or have the right to, an Irish passport I suggest you stick to describing yourself as Texan, for the sake of accuracy.

Yeah, back in the 90s Citroen did some insane deals. My best mate's first car, age 17, was a brand new Saxo, on the grounds that it came with two years' free insurance. His parents worked out that was cheaper than a banger and paying for coverage.
