I have never bought a football shirt It is a two inch embroided logo on the rear of the collar. If anyone had bought the shirt would they a) have noticed it or b) considered it to be anything other that a decoration. Someone has gone looking for this an brought it to the attention of everyone and Kier Starmer has fallen into their trap. Lee Anderson said last year that the only way the Conservative stood any chance at the next election was by stoking culture wars. This is just a pawn in the game and the real scandal is probably the price and the supply chain issues.

Waiting for Spurs to win a trophy, like waiting for a train in a closed station where all the tracks have been ripped up

It is interesting there are no new photos. The 'recent' photo was the one from the dementia fundraiser last year

This is the source Wikipedia is using which is a fandom site which puts us into a similar situation with Thomas P. Stafford where the news was broke by a space fan site I am inclined to believe this is true as he was reportedly suffering from Parkinson's There are three older Hugo winners left (Larry Niven, Joe Haldeman & C J Cherryh) and Connie Willis now makes it onto the top ten earliest winners surviving (Vernor Vinge was at No.10)

A unique DDP pick for my Theme Team

There seems to be a lot of local Oklahoma based news journalists and networks carrying the story on Twitter but nothing national

Thomas P. Stafford a hit for Summer in Transylvania - New Round 1924 Jimmy Carter/Priscilla Pointer 1925 Pete Murray/Ysanne Churchman 1926 Timothy Dudley-Smith/Gudrun Ure 1927 Sandy Gall/Leontyne Price 1928 William Kennedy/Queen Ratna of Nepal 1929 John Woodvine/Vera Miles 1930 Douglas Hurd/Edna O'Brien  1931 Ken Bates/Leslie Caron 1932 Roy Hattersley/Petula Clark 1933 Tinto Brass/Kim Novak

Every name they come up with has so much baggage and is a field day for their opponents. The only way this is going to end is in a General Election and then leave it up to the rump of Conservative MPs left in parliament to decide who will lead them

How long will this run for? A set time or until a score milestone is reached (500 points?)

With the prospect of a Doctor Who double bill on TV immediately before the ESC and the second episode is the only one we have a title for The Devil's Chord which might suggest it is the one with Jinx Monsoon in could end up with Ollie Alexander representing the UK at Eurovision as being only the second campest thing on TV that day.

No it will be the night before Eurovision because the broadcast will be immediately before the contest

I saw the date of 10th Occtober quoted which will need to be called by 5th September Should make for a frenzied conference season Will we have had the next DL hit before then?

The Five Doctors was broadcast in the US two days before it was aired in the UK The television landscape is constantly changing and many series are now releasing in batches or at different times Casual viewers will probably still watch on linear broadcast If you are asleep at midnight. How different would it be if you watched it when you got up on the Saturday morning are you worried your friends are going to telepathically invade your dreams with major spoilers? The BBC will keep the situation under review. They altered the way The Traitors most recent series was released because of real risk of spoilers I think the only people who are complaining are those who want to be the first to spoiler it for other people on social media

I think we might be heading into a lull here because I think it is now too late to change your manager to make a real impact and change direction. When relegations and playoff misses become concrete we will probably see some more action

The irony about this is that he was replaced on Mic by Chris Evans who used to be a regular no-show when he had the Radio 1 Breakfast show (for possibly similar reasons)

No-one seems to be dying so I have decided to create a list Ten Earliest Winners of the Edger Allen Poe Award for Best Mystery Novel as awarded by the Mystery Writers of America 1972 Frederick Forsyth (b.1938) 1979 Ken Follett (b. 1949) 1982 William Bayer (b. 1939) 1988 Aaron Elkins (b. 1935) 1990 James Lee Burke (b.1936) 1991 Julie Smith (b.1944) 1992 Lawrence Block (b.1938) 1994 Minette Walters (b.1949) 1997 Thomas H.

Another no show on his TalkSport show this morning - Possibly been enjoying the Cheltenham Festival a little too much
