Surely Murray can be talked about as one of our greatest ever sports persons. Another brilliant achievement.

Welcome back. Did you ever get your hole?

I thought Spectre was pretty decent. It seemed a bit slow in the middle but livened up when Waltz appeared, and he was excellent. Andrew Scott also very good. I do like Mendes's nods to the Connery films - clearly there were nods to From Russia With Love and You Only Live Twice in Spectre.

I think the talk has been nipped in the bud. It's getting boring seeing bands comeback so quickly. Look at Faithless, they've come back and decided to get some of their classics remixed by the likes of Avicii. What a pile of horse shit. Speaking of horse shit. Agree with rocket re: U2.

Spectre any good?

A common misconception from yes supporters.

Even if Platini is absolved of any blame, he cannot surely be considered as a credible candidate anymore. FIFA needs to be disbanded and a completely new organisation put in place.

Outstanding run of form at the moment, a joy to behold. It's probably going to come crashing down as I jinx it by going to the ICT game on Saturday!

Phoenix Nights was brilliant.

Castle Grayskull being where the good guys lived! With regard to the charges brought, I really hope David Murray gets hung out to dry.

Been twice, awesome experience. Presume you visited the late night areas? They're quite something!

No.

I've finished Martin Fletcher's book about the Bradford fire, really interesting and compelling stuff. Clearly the initial inquiry was far too hasty and narrow in it's scope. I had no idea Fletcher was also present at Hillsborough. That's mental that he witnessed both!

T in the Park, many years ago!

I've seen Coldplay live! They were utter mince!

New "BT Europe" channel due to be announced tomorrow, for all Chumps League and Europa League games, with Lineker joining them (still staying with BBC also). Sounds like it might be a £5 a month for the new channel.

They won't disappoint, I thought they were oustanding at Rockness a few years ago.

And also spot on about the Iraq war. Sad news. I've sat next to him at a charity dinner in Inverness once. Thoroughly engaging chap.

BT or Sky?

Anyone got any experience with BT TV/Youview? Moving house in a couple of weeks, we have ditched Sky which was a very pleasurable experience, and have no intention of returning. Looking at BT TV as an alternative - we'll be getting "fibre to the door" in the new house. You don't get as many channels but looks like a decent service and the TV/Broadband/Phone would be half the price I was paying for current Sky + BT phone/broadband. As an aside, I wonder if Sky's days are numbered, the latest price rise was a joke - upping the family package just to pay for the premiership rights? Surprised more folk are not ditching it.

Hot Chip - decent but far from being one of their best albums Django Django - loving this, a far more consistent album than their debut
