Sad news https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/58330110 This is really sad. A great player and a top bloke. Knew him a little bit, proper old school. He said the thing he missed most about rugby was in the changing rooms after having a can of beer and a fag. Thoughts with his wife and 4 boys. RIP

Mark Bingham, for whom the Rugby world cup for Gay and inclusive teams is named for.

Maybe not the greatest rugby player but certainly helped change stereotypes of gay men

If this was the 70's the correct answer would be John Inman but we have all moved on since then.

Raspberry is the best from the back garden. Also any fruit you can make a good sorbet from Mango, Raspberry, Lemon and Blackcurrant. Blackcurrant is awesome except when raw

Fudge me. Matt Damon was way too small to be Francois Pineanar but who the else could have done it.?

Moriarty is a genuine nutter.

I'd say he'd handle himself in a Cat A.

Moriarty wouldn't be in prison long. His dad and uncle Dickie would break him out very quickly.
