    Housing in the UK

    I'm wondering if part of the solution may be to build more high end blocks of flats in urban areas. Here's the thinking: if you build low-end tower blocks they quickly become no go areas & you cannot force the under classes to behave (NB by under-class I don't mean to poor, I mean those people...

    Housing in the UK

    If you take the land off builders who's going to build the houses? There's already a control for the type of houses that are built - it's not enough.

    Housing in the UK

    This is not a party political rant, both main parties have had a go at this issue and failed. Further I am not a racist or against people migrating per se. I read yesterday that house prices went up by nearly 10% again over the past 12 months: much faster than the rate of general inflation and...

    Who to renew?

    Ain't going to be a lot of building forwards if we spend all our money. Just my opinion but one player doesn't make a team; a successful team is more than the ability of each individual.

    Favourite Double Acts ?

    I don't remember them playing Cov - but then I'd have been just a little too young to have been allowed to go in 78. By 79/80 I was out at gigs most weekends.

    How do you bet?

    I used to play the bookie on Betfair regularly for a number of years. I'd put up offers for and against every possible outcome and wait to be lifted. It was a very nice little earner but then I lost heavily on the World Cup final and decided to close out - as my wife was fed up with the time...

    Things you like and dislike about your missus

    I'm certainly no expert on this and get it wrong continually. However I believe this is a big difference between men and women generally (although I hate generalisations and am questioning myself already about making one). When men ask for help they are seeking a solution. When women do it...

    What are you currently listening to?

    Having just watched Deutschland '83 (great TV BTW), I'm going into a Berlin-fest: Iggy; Bowie; Can; Tangerine Dream and Velvet Underground - which is not German but has the same ambience.

    Fa cup

    The FA bending over backwards again to help the four or five biggest clubs and shaft the rest of the professional game. They are destroying football.

    Dads army

    I'm 100% with Otis on this - great analysis. For comedy I also like to more absurd stuff - Mighty Boosh was the best sitcom since Fawlty Towers for me.

    If you could ask any celebrity alive or dead a question what would it be

    I'd ask Otis if he could think of a witty riposte to this post.

    Relapse Horror Puzzle Game

    May I put a plug in for a relative who is building a PC game? Relapse is a puzzle-horror game set in an abandoned Victorian Insane Asylum. They have started a Kick starter and there is a free demo that should give between 1 and 2 hours of game play that can be downloaded from the kick starter...

    Conspiracy Theories - 9/11

    It's just the same as holocaust denial IMO - it's so awful that people with some kind of emotional vested interest refuse to accept that it was real.
