    C'mon Frenchie, smile.

    It's called banter.


    Sean K now doing the anchor commentator role for ES - sounds good. Carlton must have been caught short in the loo.

    You stop posting about fashion, we'll stop posting about sex, deal?

    Whenever I have the beginnings of the vaguest feelings of warmth towards you and your contributions here, you crush them immediately.

    Girls don't cry. Girls are stoic. As impassive as Quintana.

    So I happened to be looking at my home town's local paper's website last night, and discovered something amazing. Dan Martin isn't from Birmingham, he's from Tamworth! He would have been at the primary school that shared a school field with my secondary school while I was there!

    The Tamworth Herald have hysterically claimed him as their own. He was apparently the Tamworth Herald's 2012 sportsman of the year. Apparently it was a close run thing between Dan and Dave who had to run to the chip shop last March.

    Lol! I'm originally from Taworth as well, Glacote Heath to be more specific. I'll have to start shouting for Martin, I thought he was a proper 021'er

    My stream died :( Anyone know where I can watch it? I'm UK based but IP address goes through Germany so no ITV4 or Virgin TV Anywhere... stopstream ones have been 'banned' (which I was watching earlier) and I can't find one anywhere else :(:(:(
