My reasonably common 3-letter surname centres on Cambridge and Peterborough (and the rest of the East). Interesting

Just watched the show as someone not old enough to remember him. He seemed absolutely crazy, but brilliant! Very glad I saw that

Pogba wouldn't survive for 10 minutes at Wycombe Wanderers or Accrington Stanley. You don't get his types in the lower leagues

I was actually in Gillingham on Saturday. Didn't see much of it, but it was depressing enough just parking and walking 10 minutes from the train station to the ground

As someone who follows their football team around the country in League One and Two, I've experienced some pretty miserable places that I would never normally have visited. Stand-outs would have to be: - Crewe - Swindon (town centre anyway) - Grimsby - Luton - Doncaster And tbf, Wycombe is quite the...

The mighty Wycombe Wanderers storming League One atm. 4 wins and a draw (away at Sunderland) in our last 5 matches, and 6 consecutive home wins. Nice little run of fixtures coming up over Christmas too. Dreaming of the Championship

God that was a dire game (and I'm a supporter of women's rugby) I scrolled through the match on youtube to see the score, and it did seem boring by the result. Glad I didn't bother to watch. As a supporter of women's rugby, too, I'm disappointed to see so many teams grinding it out like many men's ...

The Lions series is an interesting one to analyse too. Barrett kicked 6/6 in the first match where the ABs won at a canter. He could have kicked awfully and they still would have won. In the second and third matches, I remember his goal kicking being very poor. When the points matter, he didn't get ...

If you're going to Oxgord, then Turf Tavern is a must, although you may want to just drink there rather than eat. I've never done the latter but I imagine it is exceptional

Interesting that both Wade and Scotland-Williamson went to RGS High Wycombe at around the same time. Wonder if they know each other well?

I was lucky enough to watch him speak at the Oxford Union a few months ago (link below).

He is undoubtedly the most dedicated man I have ever seen. All he does is run. His spare time is spent running. His daily routine is run, eat, run, eat, run, eat, sleep

I thought it was a definite red when watching on TV, and still think so now. Horrific tackle that could've seriously injured TT. I accept that Spencer is about a foot and a half taller than Taylor, but that doesn't excuse it

Reports suggest the shooting happened during a video game tournament being held at the Jacksonville Landing. It's crazy to me that people think violent video games and TV don't contribute to this.

A very oddly reported study - definitely one for R4's More or Less. For example: They found that out of 100,000 non-drinkers, 914 would develop an alcohol-related health problem such as cancer or suffer an injury. But an extra four people would be affected if they drank one alcoholic drink a day So...

Fahrenheit 451 on the other hand? Utter shite. The fact that it is put alongside Brave New World and 1984 etc is appalling.

Agree with all of this. Fahrenheit 451 is a terrible book

Why did you vote for Corbyn then Bimbo? Bear in mind that pre Corbyn , Labour was closer to the centre.
