David Beckham - a lifetime achievement award? that is rather strange.


I have voted for Graeme McDowell and Tony McCoy. Tony McCoy probably deserves a lifetime achievement award for his long term achievements but winning the grand national was the icing in the cake for his career to date.


Graeme McDowell for me deserves a shout for having won the US Open at Pebble Beach - most golfers who have watched the US players like Tom Watson and Jack Nicklaus fight it out over that course in the 70's and 80's know what a great achievement that was. As well, Portrush has needed a champion to put it back on the world golfing map.


Coincidentally, both McDowell and Tony McCoy are from Co Antrim, so I'd be happy for either of them to win.

Oh god. Just switched this on to see Beckham dedicate an award for a third of a lifetime kicking a ball, ,to the men and women in Afghanistqn.

Hmmm, ok.


And now Ms Jenkins (phwooar) doing a painfully mawkish death list thing.


Am I in a parallel world, when did the BBC start going all....well.....ITV on us?


I'm off to bed I thnk.

    • Its a few years ago now, but I organised my end of year prom (for year 13) at Off the Cuff in Herne Hill - was on the cheaper side to rent and at that age, felt very cool and clubby. I had my own 18th at Whirled Cinema in Loughborough Junction but I'm not sure if they take event bookings like that anymore 
    • You are right . It isn't going to change him for the better. Sending such a negative message is potentially counter-productive. Trump is narcissistic, arrogant, unpredictable, spiteful, divisive, and dishonest, with a penchant for a total a disregard for democratic norms.  He is one who bears a grudge so there's a case to be made for not offending him as he could react with a bunch of  adverse actions  such as  deciding to increase import tariffs on UK exports to the US.      
    • Unless we don't fly I don't think we can be too critical of the authorities.  
    • In 2016 London City Airport began using concentrated flight paths. When there's a predominantly westerly wind, incoming aircraft approach from East London (north of the River). When there's a predominantly Easterly wind, incoming aircraft approach the airport from the West: circling through Forest Hill, Dulwich, Vauxhall, Tower Hamlets, Docklands. This latter flight path affects many of us in South East London. https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/london-city-airport-concentrated-flight-paths The planes going into City are often below 2,000 ft, so very noisy. Sometimes we have incoming Heathrow at the same time, flying higher. The early flights that I hear e.g. 04:30 are incoming to Heathrow. They are scheduled to land at 05:30 but are 'early'. Apparently the government allows a percentage of flights to arrive early and late (but these are now established as regular occurrences, informally part of the schedule). IMHO Londoners are getting very poor political representation on this issue. Incredible that if you want to complain about aircraft noise, you're supposed to contact the airport concerned! Preposterous and designed solely in favour of aviation expansion.
