Tiote's exactly the sort of player we need in our situation. He's not top 6 but he could be the difference in a relegation scrap.

None of which necessarily precludes a person from being a good politician, FWIW. Unfortunately, as in Boris's case, it doesn't guarantee it either.

It's called a hint. You might consider taking it.

I spotted the deranged fucker on his bike last week heading into Liverpool St station - first "celeb" I've seen in London for ages. Surely most people love Boris? He is after all one of the true characters in Polotics. There we go.

Davies getting called up is fine, but it's years too late and you know he'll get a 10-minute run-out if anything at all, so what's the point?

Amir Khan's brother is boxing for Pakistan in the Commonwealth Games. Good to see him sticking up for the community he believes he belongs to.

Next one he opens (and he will) gets changed to "Chicken Foetus".

Call it a hunch, but I bet you think Jeremy Clarkson is a visionary and a people's man too.

No

A man who could eke more humour out of tripping himself up in a single scene than the likes of Corden or Whitehall will manage in their entire career. RIP Norm.

Brilliant

He'll have 6 months of "playing with the big boys" soon His rearguard action is already pretty good, but I suppose it might make him stronger in the tackle.

Aye, but what about the 25th? sorry.

I reckon you could just about manage a nostril.

My folks have got into the habit of going somewhere sunny for Christmas so I've celebrated it with the fella's family instead recently. Before that the only thing we did that was a bit out of the ordinary was a token nod to my mother's side of the family, i.e. a Swedish meal on Christmas Eve (and maybe opening a present or two). Other than that, your standard-issue forced family jollity and getting slowly sozzled in front of the telly.

This series was interesting. RealAudio (d'oh) files were playing up a bit the last time I tried, but still: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/science/5numbers.shtml http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/science/another5.shtml http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/science/further5.shtml

If they stack 'em even half as full...

I'm still getting shit off a mate for not going to Katz's Deli when I was in New York.

Yep. With difficulty, sometimes.

All the girls think he's a spy, he's got... Ed Miliband eyes

Besides, that only makes sense if they were planning to call it the "Jesus H. Christ On A Bike Muslim Community Centre" or something. Or if you happen to inherently equate "Muslim" with "anti-Christian", funnily enough...

Not if you're a Tyneside pub bore in the real world.

*pulls the plug out of the internet* It's for the best.
