Ornament / The Last Wrongs by Oceansize and Quiet by This Will Destroy You are also stunning.

Before its tragic demise, the London Astoria was my favourite venue by miles. My top Astoria moments: Porcupine Tree (November 2006) My Life Story (December 2006) Eels (May 2006) However, all my overall top 5 are from other venues: 1. Belle and Sebastian (Barbican, 2005) 2.

I just thought I would say, bad Apterous etiquette is not what we need just before Christmas. I was under the impression Christmas was all about random drunken sniping and massive falling-outs. Every year my family estrange a cousin and/or a neighbour. I'm tempted to try for an aunt this time round.

I've had money on Button since March (got in at 8/1 - he's now 4/6 at best) so I hope he wins. However, I wouldn't be at all surprised if Giggs takes it down.

Loving the inclusion of Kinkladze. Not loving the exclusion of Daley Thompson and Miguel Indurain. But I'll always go for Michael Johnson, primarily for this .

There was a certain nostalgic element to it, but I still think that there were bits that will live on as 'classic' Izzard. A 2½ hour show is either better value for money than most, or a lengthy bore. I'm going to side with the former statement, I enjoyed it. It's also worth bearing in mind that Wem...

I might just go for the show too. To be fair, I was discussing this possibility with someone (who'd be my partner in awesome) on Saturday over a few beverages.

- Formula 1 World Champions came up. Jody Scheckter and Denny Hulme were definitely pointless and Emerson Fittipaldi may have been. Surprisingly, Phil Hill wasn't.
- Queen Top 40 singles.
- Winners of the Open championship (golf). Ian Baker-Finch won the game as a pointless answer.

Hi Arnold, welcome to the forum. I lived in Wem for a couple of years until June this year and I used to go running through Whixall.

Matt, I did the same as you last year insofar as chin not lip. This year's efforts aren't going so well, mainly because I'm a tit and forgot.

There was a brilliant one I heard in a taxi the other week from Woman's Hour. Basically, the topic was female headteachers and how easy it is to break into the perceived patriarchy.

The University of London has blocked the link to Jason's novella. Is it particularly graphic, or does THE MAN just hate outpourings of emotion towards a TV show? I bet Jason's published the 'I love Lara Searle' tattoo across his tits though.
