I quite like Vegemite... - milder taste, - friendly matt-brown instead of frighteningly shiny, goth-black, - easier to deal with - no treacly trails all over kitchen, - won't seal lid shut so it needs 30 secs under hot tap to free it, - doesn't really need a film of butter under it in order to fill a slice of toast. ...it's like a training-Marmite.

Been a lot of talk on here about stats'... I dont think there'll be any Irish fans who want to talk about them today. No killer instinct. Great come back by the Scots.

Marmite has a 'best before' date but not a 'use by' date - I think it's fine for a few years yet.

True but you haven't invented some tortuous Duckworth-lewis system for points either RD - just imagine the cursing and screaming coming from AM's house as he sweats over another Excel sheet.... "Right, well you got the result right but estimated too many points for A and not enough for B and there's no draw bonus and your name begins with an R and it's after 3 o'clock..."

Ohhh, the blonde who writes for the telegraph. A cheap crack prompted by a quick visit to AP's Telegraph column... seriously - while we're talking about celeb culture etc. - when did it become compulsory for journos to have glam head-shots* at the top of their articles? Is it at all relevant to the piece I'm going to read? Nope. *yes, yes, I now, this has probaby been debated on the forum before and yes its been going on for ages, and yes it's men as well as women all trying to look intellectual or wise or sensitive or some bollocks as though that will influence our views on the stuff they grind out, and yes I should probably just put this in the 'little things that cause rage' thread.

I'm also presuming it's 40 points per round missed so you wouldn't go top - but two more rounds continuing with your current success rate and you will end up on top. :) Now, how many points for a basket outside the 'D'? Italy 22 - 16 Wales England 38 - 20 France Scotland 34 - 17 Ireland

Okay - residences aside - you only have to go two to the right of Crown House (on the view you linked to) to see the spirit-draining numbness that houses the young offenders programme atm. A truly hideous 'unit 3 on the Gravesend Industrial Estate' kind of a building. For residences I'm surprised no one has mentioned the whole Ladlands devpt - but I quite like that too .

Right ear, right now.

I recently had door-to-door 'Love Film' will-you-please-sign-up desperate type knocking in the freezing early evening. I listened patiently to everything he had to say, nodding and mm-hmming to all the excellent advantages and features he detailed; right up until he spelled out how reasonably priced all the available tariffs were and how one could access them. Then I told him I already had it.

I think the initial headline "Oscar Pistorius Shoots Girlfriend Dead" was akin to a newsboy yelling headlines to get passersby to stop him and buy one. A shout like that would stop a lot of people in their tracks but "South African Woman Shot Dead" would be unlikely to merit even a head-turn (except perhaps to make the passerby wonder what makes this death so special that it is a headline), ditto "Reeva Steenkamp Shot Dead" - it would only be likely to have people wonder whether they've heard that name somewhere. Headlines since have all named her prominently (some even calling it the Steencamp Killing rather then the Oscar P Shooting) and there have been countless articles delving into her past and seeking controversy and sensation to add fuel to the fire by, for example, questioning her family's motives for allowing a reality tv show to air after her death. This muck-raking will probably increase now as the Pro-Pistorius press's yang to the anti's 'gun-obsessed-nutter' ying; with every aspect of her life being turned over and examined and/or criticised by the meeja and far from being 'Reeva who?' she'll become someone whose past and behaviour everyone has an opinion on. I think woody is on the right lines - especialy as the SA police have had to admit they've already cocked things up...

I can be pedantic enough to point out that when Woody made his comment about loving jesus and AM his comment about loving someone you've never met (which woody was responding to when he mentioned the holy spirit) no one had mentioned JWs - just believers. :)

I think it has that designed-in-the-60s-and-looked-good-as-a-model look that used to be everywhere but is fast disappearing from our cities; a kind of Primark-Bauhaus. It's grubby and neglected and the railings don't help but I quite like it, and I think the plain, small-windowed red brick slab (on the left of Crown House as you look at it) is uglier - as are the lego-built-look-we've-got-balconies flats next along on the corner of CP rd.

BFS's contract only runs to the end of the season - now we know why Gold/Sullivan haven't been too keen to offer a new one. I don't care if it means missing out on Carroll - even if PDC isn't next in the chair I hope Sam goes.

Don't fall for it RD - an unripe avocado can do a lot of damage son. Just walk away...
