Why not take the prick off the end of the darts and have a robot throw them instead?

Saw a trailer for the new series which has won awards in the past. Never watched it but keep meaning to, now I will as the trailer indicates that one of the characters (Moss) goes on Countdown . Now whether that is this Friday at 10pm or not I don't know for the real Countdown plot airs in Episode 2...

No body's born homosexual, in spite of the current slant often given in the media. Like all forms of sexuality, homosexuality is a choice. You choose who to have sex with, or dream about, or lech at, or do whatever it takes to become homosexual, and I dare say you may have from birth is a genetic t...

As others have said, absolutely fantastic day Michael. Thanks for everything.

Quite agree. She ruins Newsnight as well when she presents it.

I don't see why he shouldn't talk to both sides, and they're under no obligation to give him anything. As for the manifestos, they were pretty damn vacuous anyway, and I really don't see why there's all this claptrap about armageddon in the markets.

I'm pretty happy with the situation. This is proper politics! Interesting knife-edge decisions to be made, will it be one-issue decision-making, utilitarianism or two-fingered bravado?

OK.

It's 9.45pm on 10th May 2010.

To most of you, welcome to your first taste of coalition government.

Great, eh?

Chris Corby

First past the post has produced strong government in this country for nearly a hundred years. It is amazing in all this time that there have only been around three elections where the result was a hung parliament. At most elections therefore, if there is a change of government the whole of the reje...

Just to come back to my original point about several people in a hundred knowing that Al Hibbler had a hit in 1955 with 'Unchained Melody' it occurs to me that the only people on this forum who would have had a chance of knowing this are myself, Howard Somerset and George Jenkins - and even then I w...

I like the show but "before the show we asked 100 people to name... in 100 seconds" I find totally unbelievable. A few recent examples "Name countries where they drive on the left" and the top answer was Australia - not even the UK, that had about 58 or something. But a couple of...

Surely for one game only, both ODE2 and ODE3 could be used with Susie saying something like "We are using the new version of the dictionary from today but to be fair to both these players, for this day only, words will be accepted if they are in the previous version." But to be honest, the...

She kept it mathematical anyway since she was all about the lowest common denominator. :D :D :D Having watched QT since the days when Robin Day was in the chair, I think the programme only works well when the panel consists of politicians.
