    agree but at the moment its jeans, t-shirt and a jacket at night.

    More like three course dinner.

    But don't forget that most of the people doing the poaching are poor people tempted by riches beyond their dreams - that is, the pittance paid them by the real villains.

    I'd say escaping London is anything but trivial. I left 28 years ago and still have the smile on my face anytime I go near the place (which is very rarely if I can help it).

    No - just nice people. Economic/social demographic doesn't matter really so long as they are nice and don't smell too funny.

    Does Kyle Walker being in the England squad belong in the things that annoy you thread?
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

    even better is when everybody lines up to say how mentally tough she is whilst she is being carried off sobbing uncontrollably.

    I am assuming when she became world champ it was due to everybody else falling over before she did

    Not just me then :D

    Don't really know why she got a second chance today - she fell over trying to get a fast start, the end.

    She managed scores of 30 which is amazingly high considering. The scoring really punishes a fall. It doesn't cheer me up though as I found it somewhat embarrassing.

    Discovering the Biathlon. 15,000 metres skiing and four rounds of shooting. What a great challenge.

    (Obviously I'm speaking as a spectator, not a participant)
