Yeah, fair play, I'll accept that.

A fitting punishment for the ongoing existence of Scarlets, whilst top-flight Rugby remains absent from Sardis Road.

Unfortunately the only credible way to provide such a deterrent probably involves recruiting several thousand RAF Police. Nobody sensible wants that, never mind the practical and financial issues, so they reached for something that looks tough, but is counterproductive and has no easy off-ramp.

The government's goals clearly include deterring people from damaging military aircraft on the ground. Someone might decide to do that to a country materially supporting Israel, and if they had tried what they did at Brize at Lakenheath, there would be an even more difficult conversation going on.

It's a clear conflict of interest situation, quite apart from the politics. Can't have a homelessness minister with a financial interest in making people homeless.

Parks and Rec also invented a pet Right-winger (Ron) that liberals could politely disagree with, but still respect. He believes in self-reliance and small government! He isn't, in practice, racist, misogynistic or nuts!

This, surely, was Number 1? (Closed for refurbishment).

Deleting the apps so I can meet someone the old fashioned way (selling my wife to a passing sailor after too many bowls of rum-laced porridge, only to remarry 20 years later, when I'm the mayor of a Dorset market town).

They will probably win the appeal. All this does is disrupt pre-season, for both Palace and Forest

UEFA is just a shadowy front organisation, secretly controlled by Su Pollard, Nottingham City Council and the ghost of Xylophone Man.

The implication that the decision favours the 'big boys', when the most direct beneficiary is a club of roughly similar stature to Palace.

Anyway, this could still get overturned on appeal, so the main effect is disrupting both clubs pre-season preparations.

No argument that Palace have earned their place. Forest are hardly a vastly more influential club than Palace, though.

Genuinely sorry for Palace, who deserved their place on sporting merit.

In my experience, miltary service in NI tends to be negatively correlated with respect for this brand of 'loyalism'.

Formally, in a border poll, no. But there are very few, if any, votes for GB politicians in supportting NI loyalists perceived interests in that scenario.

Whilst making a continuation of the United Kngdom in its current form less palatable to the voters of GB, which may be a less smart move.

Was fairly philosophical about the MGW transfer, and no more against Spurs than the other Sky 6 clubs, but, come on, that would be hilarious.

Talented player, with imperfections, going to a perenially unerachieving club, in transition, with an unrealistically demanding fanbase. What could possibly go wrong?

I'm sure - similarly, I think North Notts often feels like a far away country, of which we know little from a Nottingham perspective. (See also; Cardiff/The Valleys).
