So what's happened to Strava. I'm guessing they don't like me not paying them money so are dumbing things down to zero. I'm just too cheap I guess. Their business model of giving almost everything away for free seems to have been unsuccessful. Especially with all the extra lockdown log-ins. Probabl...

In his defence, I can’t think of a huge amount of Tigers’ academy products that left and went on to achieve better things from the Cockerill era. Maybe the academy players weren’t quite good enough to promote ? Quins got caught in that trap. Had a very good run with a squad built around several aca...

And exposure to opportunity, Sarries will promote their youth in a way that too many sides are hesitant of. Although Sarries don't always get it right, and that does get glossed over with their success (and with their cheating) Yep. Again, easier to expose their youth when they're dominating the le...

It's very difficult to use Saracens as an example. They're a team that illegally created an international standard squad. Did they become better internationals because they played well in Europe? Did they play better in Europe because they played international rugby? Did England's performance dippe...

How do you lads manage calorie cutting and cardio? I’ve dropped about 5kgs in the last 4 weeks from not eating like an idiot but have dropped my running/cycling.

If only they could have cuffed him and put him in a police car like they do in the rest of the world. Enjoy jail dickheads. He is cuffed and one of the bystanders tells the police they could have had him in the car by now. I doubt they will go to jail. The mayor has only fired them to defuse tensio...

I put porn on the phone and then see how far back I can go and still see it clearly. Isn't that what the phones are for? I cannot see anything more boring than driving to a castle to test my eyes. Only drongos would do that With the castle you don't have to wipe it clean before and after the test.

The thing I found most amusing about moving back was the complaints about things like waiting times for GP appointments and how terrible Scotrail are etc. Having grown up in the SE of England and lived in London for years it’s f**king amazing here. Naturally you can only complain about what you hav...

Do we really need marquee players? No. More involved answer - no, unless the salary cap is reduced significantly in which case I would mind less. Some years ago we had a speaker at a company event who did a lot of sports performance work in a number of sports, including Premier League football. His...

Not really. The important bit remains the same.

Quite. That most photographers are delusional about the quality of their work.

I 'bought' GTA-V last night. It looks like everybody else did as well. I was getting about 8-15Mb/s downloads so it took all night to arrive. I also had to free up 100GB of space which took almost as long.

I'll give it a go this evening.

I can't stand Lance Armstrong. Think I'll give it a miss. It'll just put me in a bad mood.

Of course, because who is a mo...
