Ahh, Twickenham. Home of Rugby Union, the greatest game on earth bar none. Thanks for posting, Claret. Good piccy. I believe this shop is on Whitton Road between Twickenham Station and the stadium... on the left side of the road as you go towards HQ. If I recall it accurately, it's next...

And I greatly appreciate your points which I quite agree are valid and well made. But I do like a good debate and to argue my corner. Please don't take anything personally and please don't be put off from commenting. It's all good, vigorous discussion. I look forward to hearing more from...

I can see the point that's being made regarding the winter break, but here it's more a question of culture than practicality. We play football at Christmas. End of. Even our monumentally crass and stupid FA have managed to avoid making the blunder of imposing a winter break here. They've...

Thank you Dirk, for those kind words, you old flatterer you..!! :bg: I very much enjoy putting my thoughts out there for all to read. I might ramble on a bit, but that's just me. I love to read your insights into how football is played in Germany. Learning how things are done elsewhere...

How utterly ridiculous. The FA have once again showed how totally out of touch they are with the game. I cannot for the life of me see how a club that plays in front of 50 people in average home games could possibly be any sort of threat to the vast, monolithic edifice which is the Football...

In England, there is something rather special about football at Christmas time. OK, so for a number of years there has been talk of a winter break, perhaps even over the holiday, but I believe this would be a disaster for the English game, which is wedded to the deeper rhythms of our winter...

I don't quite understand the point you're trying to make there. Are you suggesting the physically disabled shouldn't participate in sport because of their disabilities..? I suggest you check out the Paralympic Games which originated from the practice of Stoke Mandeville hospital using...

To any colleagues out there........... To fellow Lab Rats everywhere. May your LN ice cream never stick to the top of your mouth and may your own Batcave, Evil Lair, Holodeck or Dharma Initiative be the haven of discovery / escape from non-science Muggles everywhere that you want it to be...

That's rather bucking the issue in my opinion. Come on, I think we canThis do better than that. The advance of human social evolution requires a progressive attitude in sport which, after all, is greatly concerned with human aspiration. If we dismiss the aspiration of a group of humans or...

You two........... Come on now.... shake hands and be friends. :2thumb:

It's a shame that Dele Alli has this nasty streak in him. He's a good player who should stick to concentrating on his play. He'd be even better then. His foul on de Bruyne was not only unnecessary and potentially injurious, it was a cheap shot. Dirty, cheap and nasty. It's unworthy of...

Gotta love dem blooz..!! This is the stuff me and my guitar buddies would (try to) play when we used to have our jam sessions at uni..... well, this and other stuff too. I missed her gig at The Royal Albert Hall when she appeared with BB King and (husband) Derek Trucks, but I've seen the...

There is a rule in American politics called "The Goldwater Rule." This prevents American psychiatrists commenting on the mental stability (or lack of it in the case of Trump) of public figures. It's so-called because a poll of psychiatrists conducted by a magazine in 1964 concluded that the...

Palace look like they've got their act together. Leicester haven't really been in this. Good calls by the ref to disallow Leicester a goal and shortly afterwards, send Ndidi off (2nd yellow) for diving. As attempts at conning the ref go, it was one of the poorer efforts that we've seen around...

No,seriously..... where DID he get that handbag...?
