    The Innocent Man - Netflix

    New series about potential wrongful convictions in murder cases. Really enjoyed it, though the first episode does tend to dick you about about in not revealing what the wrongful evidence actually is. Once you get past that though I would say it's quite compelling viewing. Six episodes, two...

    Abuse of players by fans

    I've never ever really got it and I could never behave in such a fashion, but you do see it every week. The player doesn't even have had to do anything. Sort of get it when a player has been giving it the big un to the crowd, but still don't think it's right and most of the time a player has...

    Traffic and speed cameras - For or against?

    I am 100% for, as long as the system works properly and is administered correctly. I see moments of absolute lunacy every single day (4 cases in just the last 3 days). Latest one today was someone deliberately going round a roundabout the wrong way to save time. Crazy!!

    Penny for the Guy

    Anyone know when it stopped exactly? One minute it seemed to be there and then all of a sudden it was gone. I remember as a kid going door to door and doing it and pretty much every other kid I knew used to do it too. I then remember being grown up and kids comings me knocking on the door for...

    A really feisty Edinburgh derby last night apparently and at 1-1 Hearts thought they had scored a late winner, only to then have it disallowed. Lennon then deliberately turns to the Hearts fans and goads them and someone throws a coin that hits him in the face. Can never condone anyone...

    Preference for foods not in their purest form

    Had so many of my daughter's friends come round and say they don't like tomatoes, yet they love the tomato sauce on a pizza. Thought about it and think I am the same in many ways in having a preference for foodstuffs that have been modified in some way. I don't mind tomatoes, but much prefer...

    Scummy online trolls

    Rape and death threats? All becoming far too common. Would love to see these people being sent to prison for a week or two. Let them lose their jobs and credibility. They just think they are immune and can say anything they want, the scummy little barstewards. - Karen Carney: Football...
