Agree with PGC and 'bout now....although we would have lost. Garrrr.

Oh god do I know 0500 starts...

Is Calvin's Dad moving to County Bumblef*ck in Ireland too? ;-)

Guilty on charge 9 m'lud. Otherwise I'm clean.

I have the laughable issue of being able to watch the game on tv during the week since my office has a Sky Sports feed on what are meant to be our "rolling news" tvs. Tour De France can be watched on our desktops. Parliament goes into recess next week. It's going to be a good few weeks.

Surely a man of your technical proficiencies has a Sky-Go account *Bob*?

Suddenly 215 looks a very good score.

A large number of white/silver birch trees on Nutbrook Street in SE15 are all labelled for works. Again, this is a crazy time of year to be doing this when the tree is in full foliage. If nothing else, they provide shade along the pavement for young and old alike from the heat of the sun. Could one of the cllrs please check whether these works are really necessary now? As part of the redevelopment area in and around Bellenden I would have thought encouraging a greener urban environment would be a priority.

If it's just labelled "vegetable oil" it's most likely to be soy-bean derived.

Spot on Jeremy. It's hard to debate issues like immigration because positions are so entrenched on both sides. And neither like to give ground. So whilst SJ is correct in saying that these statistics show that there isn't nearly as big a "problem" as most critics of immigration would like to suggest, ???? and *Bob* rightly point out that in localised areas there can be increased pressures on services and resources that need addressing by national and local politicians and media. But unfortunately there seems little appetite amongst either of those groups for rational debate since both are equally entrenched for different reasons in their own positions. Interesting, this is a nettle the Labour left have failed to grasp over successive generations and it has contributed to the erosion of their white, working-class support. Quixotically, these areas are actually ones that have seen little immigration but are the most fearful of it. I think it would be a fool who didn't recognise the huge benefits that immigrants can bring to this country and have done for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. And with every new influx the same concerns (or similar) have been raised. But this doesn't mean we shouldn't be capable of discussing the matter sensibly and without cheap jibes being thrown by either side or having to resort to factually innaccurate rhetoric.

Tails up. "You're not singing any more..."

Naughty Snorky.

Just make sure that piss doesn't have TB in our we're all in trouble.

Those LibDems and their raw milk, eh *Bob*. I'll keep my eyes open. No, wait, closed.

Either I'm having a massive irony bypass or that's the singularly dumbest thing I've ever read. I shit out bacteria and that's passed to others how exactly?

How does it do that? Considering TB infected meat has been sold into the food chain by DEFRA, you'll forgive me if I don't give two shits about you moaning about my milk.

Why is it listed as 236 and 240 Lordship Lane? Presumably the other bungalow is 238? So there is something being built either side of it? Reminds me of the scenes from Up.

Well your man Golovkin won inside 3 rounds. No wonder no one wants to fight him.

It's delicious, as is their cream and butter.

Who's broadcasting this in the UK?

It is if you're on foot and running after the bugger.

It was a race with unique prizes. Highly professional athletes would compete alongside seasoned amateurs for honours. Many trained year round for some elements of the challenge. Young and old, two legged and four. A battle against the elements. To call it "just a general piss up" would insult the memories of all those who have graced the paved streets of SE22 over five years. There may have been a celebratory tipple or two consumed over the years, however.

Tastes a lot like badger.

You can try to borrow a "plumbers snake" and do the job yourself?
