Last night, after I had put the dinner in the oven, I sat down, put the Man U / Real match on mute and switched on the radio to listen to the commentary for our match. I then picked up my ipad and started casually reading through the commentary thread. And it was a good fucking job I did...

In a way, the new Muse album is better than I expected. I think that some of the songs are as good as they have produced in a fair few years - even though they're not as heavy as I would ideally like. On the other hand, some of the songs are the sort of rock opera shite that has done so much...

I agree with that. I just don't like the way that Muse have developed.

Agreed. I saw them twice in the good old days. They've since become a parody of themselves. I've ordered the new album though, so am interested to hear if they've continued the downward spiral. I thought their Olympics song was shockingly bad, so I don't hold out much hope. They need to fuck...

Just another way to rip you off! I've bought "print at home" tickets before on Ticketmaster, but, if you use Midlands Box Office, you can at least avoid a postage fee by picking the tickets up yourself. As lemonjelly says, the only way to avoid all the add-ons is to do it the old fashioned way...

It certainly is a rip off. For this gig, you're already paying £27.50 for the ticket! When you and I started going to (the same) gigs, it was about a fiver! Unfortunately though, I'm always at work when tickets go on sale, so have little option other than to book online. I always pick up the...

£6.80 for 2 tickets! Anyway, the tickets are booked. Looking forward to it.

If a Labour PM had written that memo, I would be just as keen to know why he / she was seemingly more concerned with protecting the reputation of the police than delivering justice. FWIW, I agree that Straw (along with a generation of other politicians - including the Blair government) hasn't...

He's right though, isn't he? At the very least, there must surely be some suspicion of the Thatcher government's role in all this. In the panel's report, they released an internal cabinet memo on which Thatcher had handwritten the following against a bit in which it was stated that Douglas...

I agree with him, there needs to be accountability. But on suspicion of what charge would arrests be made? Perverting the course of justice?

The evidence presented in the report shows "conclusively" that the fans "neither caused nor contributed to the deaths". Seems pretty clear cut to me. What makes you disagree with this?

You lucky sod! I was in Lefkada a few weeks ago. Beautiful place.

Indeed. There's less of the eggy aroma in the Enville White though. Which is why it's my favourite of the Enville Ales. For those who may be interested, there's an Enville Brewery beer festival at the Summerhouse on the Newhampton Rd. next weekend. http://www.summerhousewolves.com/index-4.html
