I have to agree the Ashes can give good entertainment, I remember botham single handedly beating the Aussies many years ago, although I think my favourite moment was Gatting being bowled round his legs by Shane Warne(best captain Australia never had). I also have fond memories of test Match Special ...

OK I know this will anoy some purists but why bother with boring 5 day stuff when the IPL gives fantastic entertainment twice a day for a few weeks every year. In between the ICC could organise a T20 world cup every year and any time left could be speant playing the 50 over game. Not only would this...

And as I said to my parents yesterday "that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I have a theory that as port is fortified before fermentation is complete(and therefore retains much of the natural grape juice) that it counts towards 5 a day fruit and veg!!!

Have not come accross fortified wine in Greece, and always visit in spring or autaumn and avoid insane heat(and insane number of tourists). I have enjoyed some whites from Limnos but have to confess to a dislike for retsina!!!

I will take some bottles with me in October to educate them.

I have noticed that none of my Greek friends havwe ever "Liked" any of my Port related posts on Facebook. I Hold myself entirely responsible for not introducing them to the pleasure of the drink. While on subject of Greece I would recomend Metaxa Private Peserve as a decent "brandy&qu...

A few observations, firstly as a Celtic fan I am still p1ssing myself. More seriously I find it difficult to believe that Craig Whyte passed SFA fit and proper person test when plenty information about him was available http://rangerstaxcase.com/2011/03/ to them before the takeover took place. Why w...

Two thoughts : 1 yeuch
2 Artificial hamburgers have been around for years- they're called veggie(although one or two I've had have been quite nice)

Am definately in the mildly p1ssing camp but Old firm games win or lose have always been hiinghlights of season. Scottish football would not be the same without them.

Thanks for tip have been considering a Liebherr but looking online Climadiff does seem to give more storage for the money.

I missed the whole thing due to work stuff going mad this week. What a disgraceful mess. I had hoped we had seen the last of that sort of thing in this country but it seems not. Proud? No. Derek Sure that Rangers fans will not be doing that sort of thing on European nights for a few years! I'm cons...
