But you are then very quickly deflated again within seconds. Double whammy for me today. My parents are both 86 and my dad insists on buying lottery tickets for all the family, nieces, granddaughters and me. Sometimes he gives me the tickets, but usually he retains them himself for us all and...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-37453762 Unbelievable to realise that Anderlecht bribed the ref to win the game, but only got a one year ban. How severe do we think the ban would be in this current day and age?

Anyone watching? I really, really like it, but sometimes the hunters show incredible dumbness. Kind of think it is deliberate to perpetuate the action and thrill of the chase.

I'm a bit confused. I always follow any Coventry city centre developments with interest, but this one has me baffled. Here's Greyfriars Lane. Nat West bank to the left, Lloyd's to the right. Plan is to make it a gateway to the cathedral quarter. Trying to make it like Carnaby St with...

Anyone else excited about the upcoming show on Sky Atlantic? I love the film, which is actually on tonight if anyone is interested. Bit of controversy with the TV show because I believe they made all the extras sign contracts stating that they must be prepared for nudity and sexual scenes.

Agree? Anyone on here that doesn't find him funny? I haven't met anyone yet who has said so. He's certainly got a touch of Eric Morecambe about him and I think he makes Would I lie to You the best comedy programme on TV these days.

And if so, what is it? My daughter and I call my missus Two. She is unaware. Everything with her is it's 'too cold, or too loud, or too hot, or too controversial, or too far, or too late, or too much.'

Hope Solo: USA goalkeeper suspended for six months for 'cowards' comment - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37182568 Hope Solo called Sweden 'a bunch of cowards' after the US's defeat to the Swedes in the Olympics and as a result has earned herself a 6 month ban. Seems a bit excessive. It...

According to the BBC Burnley had just 19% possession! Wow! Never, ever seen it so low for a winning side.

I know it is a bit of a way ahead, but my wife's family are saying that tickets are already on sale for matches in Volgograd. My question is, do you think if they buy some up now (only £15, so very cheap) that they will be able to sell them on for a few extra quid when the WC begins? Guessing...

Asad Shah killing: 'Disrespecting Islam' murderer jailed - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-37021385 If you recall this, this is where the shopkeeper was murdered in Scotland by a man who said that the shopkeeper was disrespecting Islam. Well this isn't about the case...

Let things be I say. Paul Merton had a go with old Galton and Simpson scripts and failed. Think things are of their time and should be left alone. Hancock's Half Hour Til Death us do Part And Steptoe and Son All being remade.

Well done, Nick. Lovely to see all the threads and also getting to know what is going on. Cheers. :)

Fireman Sam episode pulled amid Koran row - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-36900310 Is this just another non story with no need for anyone to get upset, or do they have a point and is it distasteful?

Council tells family that mum is too fat to cremate. Family shocked an outraged. Bottom line is though, this woman's coffin was 33" wide and the crematorium limit was of a width of 28". http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/grieving-daughter-told-25st-mum-8497063 No story to be had, but of...

Anyone been? If so, is it any good? Been open a few months now I think. It's in Bayley Lane (obviously), next to the old cathedral ruins just across from the Establishment Had a peek in on Sunday and it looks quite busy.
