Just watched the latest Christmas University Challenge, which was notable mainly for Amol Rajan shouting at the contestants.

I saw Ken Stott at a Glasvegas gig and considered going up to tell him I enjoyed his performance as Rebus, but I decided against it.

Having read this thread and then scanned the comments, I've concluded that, if you want people to take your piece on Marc Andreessen seriously, it's probably best not to include a photo of his head.

The 82% 'demanding a settlement be made' might be based on this poll from August, which reports that "82% consider negotiations to be a realistic way to end the war". So, not exactly 'demanding a settlement be made'.

Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum tried to protect their players, but it has left them exposed when it mattered most

Hard to argue with Brendon McCullum's assessment that if you bat, bowl and field badly, you'll probably lose.

The only remaining point of interest in this game is whether the run of players scoring double figures continues.

FIFA have essentially politicised football. Unequivocably. Therefore, they have completely lost all rights to sanction any individual player for political protest or display of allegiance on the pitch.

You'd think they looked at Joe Root and conclude 'Hmm, that works. I'll copy him.' Wouldn't you?

With the anniversary of Gary Speed’s death this week, I’m reminded of the ball boy at Sheffield Utd who said he was the only player who always said “thank you” when they threw him the ball. I know it’s a little, simple thing, but it does speak volumes about who he was.

What we're seeing is exactly what we saw in the late 1940s, the late 1960s and the mid- to late 1970s: a concerted and hysterical campaign to delegitimise a Labour government, and indeed the very idea of Labour governments at all.

Incredible sentence in this article: "I remain open to vigorous discussions and debate,” Prasad wrote, reportedly adding that staff who did not agree with the core principles of his new approach should submit their resignations.

The value of my property has only increased by 99,900% to £4m since I bought it for £4,000 in 1970 and now I have to find an extra £5,000 per year. Oh woe is me, what can I possibly do? FFS.

England lost a wicket every 20.25 balls across their two innings. With Australia missing two of their first-choice pace bowlers. Frankly pathetic.

When Stokes says "we'll go away and put in the graft", I assume he's talking about playing golf.

Completely embarrassed on England's behalf. Interested to see if they will share that sentiment or come out with the usual way we play stuff.

Not the first to make this point. But there is a tyrant in charge of another country who is accused of being heavily linked to a paedophile sex ring - and supposed ‘patriots’ in this country are passionately willing him to take down our national broadcaster. Madness.

I think this is a key point re. BBC coverage of Trump - the expectation from some on the Right that the BBC should shift the goalposts towards a Trumpian pov regardless of democratic norms.
