Good on Kenny Lunt - long live Sharon, Netanyahu and the state of Israel.

Sky don't have rights to the World Cup and as far as they are concerned it doesn't exist. Subscribe to that and stop moaning.

Tut tut, have you never seen 'Les Miserables'?

There was a swarm at Chesterfield train station this morning, but haven't noticed any in Sheff city centre.

If your life is so great, why aren't you outside soaking up the sun or going for a stroll in the park or out in the countryside, rather than sat inside, staring at a computer, and getting involved in petty rows on an internet chat forum? If your life is so full and exciting, how have you found time to submit 2500-odd posts? I don't get it. I hope my retirement isn't as aimless.

What time and what's he here for?

Evelyn Waugh was the master of black humour, and Martin Amis and Bret Easton Ellis are the best modern-day exponents. Catch 22 attempted to sustain one joke through an entire novel, and Joseph Heller one idea through an entire career.

Not drink driving, I hope?

Had a 3 course meal there on Sunday, very nice. Service was impressive and food excellent. Would be surprised if they had any space for May though. Good luck!

Just ordered a ticket to London for next week, 2 singles for a total of £19.50. And the outward journey is first class. Don't think you can do much better than book it through Midland Mainline website, plus if you enter the word 'photo' as the promotional code then you get a pound off! How exciting is that?

And equally as good for you...possibly.
