The decision for Hitler would have been easy as he was a bit of a cnut.

I'd like to think Truman and Churchill would have found the decision to use the A-Bomb harder to make.

One of the things I've always admired about the Pakistan and Indian cricket teams is the 'if they're good enough they''re old enough' approach to giving promising young players a chance.

When was the last time a 17 year old played for the senior England team?

Holy crap! Just watched the Axios/HBO interview in full, can't believe what I've just seen/heard. Just a sample.. Trump on over 150,000 USA Coronavirus deaths - "It is what it is" Trump on John Lewis - "I don't really know him, he chose not to come to my inauguration" Trump on postal voting "It's a ...

We did briefly consider maybe booking something for October but sadly it just seems to much of a risk so we'll just wait and see what happens next year. I do feel for the travel industry, and all the employees affected and the knock on effect it has for so many other businesses and their workers not...

I once went out with an English teacher.

She was very good at spelling and grammar and her pet hate was any improper use of the colon.

Any game watched in a pub when Burnley have won is my favourite

It is somehow even more satisfying watching a win in a bar on holiday somewhere sunny with a load of neutrals or better still an opposition fan or 2

Won't be enjoying that experience again for a while though sadly

Another vote for Startrescue.

Around £50 a year for comprehensive cover

Had to call on their services twice in the last 2 years and both times service was good (they use McAdams in Colne)

Honestly, does it really matter if we're on 1st or last on a crappy BBC highlights programme? As Burnley fans we know what a good performance the lads have put in today (as will most fair minded footy fans of any club) Let's just enjoy being the first team to achieve what no other opposing team has ...

HesGoal stream is pretty decent and no lag at the moment That's the one I'm watching.

Generally a fan of Peter Kay, a genuinely funny and talented guy but the Car Share series was a bit of a mixed bag for me. Some genuinely laugh out loud moments (Kayleighs morning after, the monkey in a seat belt etc) but a lot of it I thought was a bit average to be honest and I don't think the imp...

I'm reminded of the late great Richie Benaud's comments after the Hansie Cronje match fixing row.

Something along the lines of "it sickens me to think that during my career I spent countless hours trying to figure out how to win a match and these bastards spend hours figuring out how to lose one"

Enjoyed the 1st episode, looking forward to the next 2.

Personally I never tire of watching any documentary that reminds us of the incredible skill, bravery and dedication of 'The Few', many of whom were barely into their 20's when the battle started.

Surely you just turn up in your whites, bring your own grub and pad up from the boot of your car? As for the ball only 10 people will touch it. The umpire doesn’t need to touch it or could easily officiate whilst wearing gloves. The wicketkeeper wears two pairs of gloves and the other team uses a d...

Not entirely John as the hand sanitizer could be transferred onto the ball thus altering the condition of it , plus players would have to remember to sanitize every time they've touched the ball and to avoid touching their faces (the same issues the England and West Indies teams will face but seems ...

Think the problem with cricket is not so much the social distancing aspect but the handling of the ball as potentially every player could be touching it. I know with tennis the guidelines were that only one player should bring a set of balls to play with, balls picked up by foot and racquet and serv...

Enjoyable feel good film all the better for it being based on a true story.

Hope Lou Macari was/is a nice a guy as portrayed in the film.

Loved Neils inspirational team talk "just go out there and score more goals than the other team"

I wondered what the rocking arms gesture from Ben was about after he'd scored.

All best wishes go to little Olive Grace, her parents and family.

We're lucky to have Ben at our club, and not just because he's a brilliant defender.

While they take a drinks break and on a slightly related topic..... I think Troy is a cracking name

You must be expected to achieve with a name like that.

Well it worked for the guy in 'Stingray' and he pulled that tidy Aqua Marina bird as well

Well this fan took to him.

Tidy player and chipped in with some cracking goals (the one at home v Bournemouth being my favourite).

Sorry to see him go but wish him well.

Watched the episode 'Private Lives' from series 1 last night.

There was a scene when Oz was digressing about being in a hotel in Sheffield and he talked about the Newcastle v Burnley semi final and 2 goals from 'Supermac'

My least favourite scene of the whole series..

Coincidentally just started re watching the 1st series dvd box set I bought years ago this week. Ok, it seems slightly dated now but still a good watch because it's well written and you care about the characters.

Before the game, I'm going to erect a a gazebo in my back garden, then queue for 10 minutes for a pint of beer in a flimsy plastic glass while constantly dodging backwards and forwards by about a foot to avoid all the imaginary fans trying to squeeze past.

It does seem like likely from recent reports that the virus may well have been lurking in the UK earlier than we thought.
