Re: Corbyn....should he resign immediately?

The obsession with Israel and identifying or stigmatising it as an "apartheid state", when it really isn't, is truly odd.* When I was at university in the early 80s, all the mad Lefties wore German army surplus combat jackets and keffiyehs, and the same people always turned up on the pro-Republican/...

Re: Colonoscopy

The worst part about it is the "Moviprep" laxative. It says on the packet "Warning: consumption of this product may cause extremely loose and watery bowel movements". "May"? That's like saying "If you stand on an upstairs windowsill and jump off you may hit the ground". There is no "may", believe me...

Re: 2009 Play Off Reunion Meal

On the finance side and this is not a criticism of the Board but I think quite a tranche of the Premier league money went to those who had loaned money to the club and had that repayment been delayed then we may have been able to put out a better team in 2009-10 and stayed up. On the other hand des...

Nah.

The crown belongs jointly to Zig Modeliste of The Meters and Al Jackson, Jr. of Booker T and the M.G.s.

Bonham was mighty- if “Kashmir” doesn’t thrill you, you may already be dead- but not the best.

Re: Match of the Day

Barry gets a pass for being Barry. Also, the directors' box seats are east-facing and in the the teeth of the winter gale that comes from Yorkshire, which is why Clive Holt dresses like a navigator in a Halifax bomber over Dusseldorf.

Re: Things we hear or say without actually understanding it

"Play it by ear" is derived from music- most songs in popular music follow the same rules of harmony, so when a musician is sufficiently proficient on an instrument he can recognise (through developing an "ear") what key a given song is in and work out the chord changes as he goes along without any ...

Re: OT: Best Spy / Cold War Films

What, no mention for "The Ipcress File"?

In the Len Deighton novel, the first in the series which includes "Funeral In Berlin", the hero remains anonymous and is a cynical and insubordinate former NCO from- wait for it- Burnley.

"Harry Palmer" was invented for the cinema.

Re: Trump and Jerusalem...Insane

My two penn'orth. There is much more to this than meets the eye. The background- in 1995, when Bill Clinton was in the White House, Congress passed the Jerusalem Embassy Act which (a) recognised Jerusalem as the Israeli capital and enabled the shifting of the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv but (b) gave ...
