Who the fudge is Toby Young, and should I care at all? He's Katie Hopkins but with posher mates, and ordinarily no but he was nearly put on the board of a body charged with regulating Higher Education in England. A compulsory unit on the dangers of double cousin marriage might help your education s...

The Nazis gave Eugenics a bad wrap, for obvious reasons.

The Chinese are doing it with their basketball player breeding program. Nothing wrong with their approach, provided all parties are willing participants.

Tom and Ben Curry were 19 (or maybe even 18) when they played a test vs Argentina. It depends on the player. That was just appalling tackling technique, especially against a 16 stone Fijian Well apart from Ben not actually going on that tour or having a cap. Pedantry. Tom Curry was 18 or 19 when he...

Victorian Police have released that the Daily Mail started a conflict with Sudanese youth (with no gang affiliations) to break some news.

what a scumbag paper.

Bloodbath incoming Good job I stayed away last month, always thought the various Governments attitude towards this meant it was extremely risky to say the least. Pretty much in full recovery now. The agreed support level of 14,000 again ? Agreed with a downside of 12500 at 50% retracement. Technica...

To put some perspective on this Super Rugby Salary Cap - $5.5m AFL cap - $12.45m NRL cap - $9.4m A-League cap - $2.9m Big Bash cap - $1.6m Obviously different amount of players, exclusions etc etc so take it for what it's worth And that is of course ignoring the top ups achieved through national se...

Red belly blacks are nice little snakes. Not as deadly as the others a nd usually very timid unless you happen to be me walking next to a river on the first warm day in spring and you nearly step on about 6 of the cunce mating. Only a paltry 9th in the world IIRC. Just get the stingos out. Yep. Pro...

The overall Super Rugby salary cap has been adjusted to a total of Aus$5.5million (US$4.3 million), with the average player receiving Aus$225,000 in 2018. Reports said this was a rise of about 10 percent. Also, how does this work? $5.5m/$225,000 = 24 players. Squad size is now 40 right? I think the...

That is pretty much the definition of a journeyman.

Primrose Hill/St Johns Wood/Swiss Cottage is a good shout. Huge parks around for the kids, walk-able to Fitzrovia, but still good transport links.

Normally if moving to Fitzrovia or the surrounding area I'd say get yourself to St Albans - you get much more for your money there, it's quieter and only 15/20 minute train ride into Kings X. But for 18 months, you may wish to experience somewhere a bit closer to the city and things going on - easy...

I'm planning on doing Ben Nevis in May. Will I need crampons/ice axe? I know it's required in winter. Not if you're doing the tourist path. How hard is the North Face? Totally depends on your route and whether you take a difficult gully or an easy one! There are heaps of routes up that side of the ...

You can buy tickets directly from the Wasps website. I've only ever caught public transport to games, but there doesn't seem to be much in the way of parking. The website has transport details.

I would personally rule out everything south of the river full stop.

Christ, mile end was better advice than f**king Watford.

There was a Chinese takeaway joint around the corner from my mates place in Wollongong. We never saw anyone go in, there were no tables just a menu written poorly in permanent marker behind the counter, and a door to the assumptive kitchen. One day, in the throes of an ungodly hangover, we decided t...

Isn't Spur and Nando's big in Oz?

Nandos is a fast food place in Australia. Very different as to how it is viewed in the UK.

Sneaker will be along shortly to admonish you all for taking the conversation "off course". Talking about restaurants, what gall.

I hear mile end is an up and coming neighborhood you might enjoy.

The closest I get to social media is this thing. That's an interesting point. I was trying to explain the bored to someone not that long ago and when I told him how long it's been going (in one incarnation or another) he pointed out that not only does it pre-date most current social media platforms...

I'd argue that the very nature of humanity (roots in hunter gathering, history of large scale immigration), make the right of movement a natural right. Water is a natural right. However if it dries up where you live, the right to move to new sources is not a given. You drift into someone else's ter...

Never heard that before. A natural right is a right that is independent of positive law.

I'm sure it's an audition for a longer gig, as there's no space for him at the rebels anymore.

I'm not surprised to hear he isn't thrashing it.

Existential question Does the resident population of any territory have the right to restrict the entry of any new group? If so, why? Right? No. Ability? Yes.

Look at the UK for example. There is evidence of paleolithic hunter gather tribes and Neanderthals in pre history, who are believed to have been replaced/combined with the 'beaker people's, who made way for the Celts, followed by some Romans, then angles/jutes/Saxons and possibly Frisians. Then came...

Assuming that final list is right, they've definetly got the hard side of the draw. Scotland in the qtr and England in the semi are both huge banana peels. England are deserved second favourites for the cup. Then they will have either Ireland or Australia in the final, both who have beaten NZ in th...
