Interesting, thanks. Goes back to what you were saying earlier about France being a particularly bad place for this to happen. Extreme mainstream.

Well, he could argue that those aren't religiously motivated, if that makes a difference. I don't think it makes a difference from the perspective of the victim. Anyway, the Breivik shootings were religiously motivated and are a better fit for that reason. Don't get me wrong. There's nowt but shock and sadness at these events, but expecting all Muslims to apologise for extreme crimes committed by anyone else subscribing to the faith is pushing it. No-one asked all of Christendom to apologise for Anders Breivik.

Anders Breivek would be the obvious example.

The only person making that suggestion is yourself. As you'll discover, timing of comments is all important.

Assuming you're a Christian, do you rise up and condemn fellow Christians when they commit atrocities?

I mock thee, KRG. Get it finished, skip. Maybe pittdogg will show you his garage

Used to. Start off by asking:- 1) What's my name? If you get bored, move on to stuff like:- 2) How do you sleep at night? 3) Do your kids know this is how you make your money?

Very pleased for the bloke. Chicago is going to be a bit nippy after the sun-soaked streets of Southampton

Good, but not right. The 10,000 men gag was on Newsthump, not Bearsy's image.

I played GTA Online loads over the New Years period, including a memorable all-nighter tearing up Los Santos with my baby bro. Excellent fun, particularly if you are bombing about in a group. One slight písser is the slow drip of cash. It is difficult to make money, especially as you spend a lot of time replacing all the ammo you spent. The other písser is loading times, which border on horrendous at times. On the specific issue of FP, I rarely use it although people do set up jobs where that perspective is forced. I haven't bothered mucking about with the controls and making them COD-like, but tbh, far easier to go third person and just get the auto-aim to do the work. The in-car views look great. Motorbikes are suitably terrifying.

He can fúck off.

It's about more than emotional maturity. If one person is significantly older than the other, then one is inevitably going to hit physical issues related with advancing years quicker than the other. Can change the dynamic from spouse to full-time carer and create resentment.

Not really a fan myself. Part of it is having daughters that are young women themselves. I try to conduct myself with decorum, and there are teenage girls in and out of this place all the time, so I've walk about with the blinkers on. Don't think it's the done thing to go out with women that are around the same age as your daughters. The other thing is a pure security issue. Think the difference would always be in the back of your mind, especially as one gets wrinklier, etc. Fair play to anyone that does it, but not sure I'd be comfy with anything more than 7 years in either direction.

Come to think of it, most, if not all, Batman comments are not thought through. I blame the laissez-faire parenting of Alfred Pennyworth myself. Leaving you to your own devices in the Brettcave, sans editor.

It's never anyone's first thought in the Itchen. Normally happens about 15 seconds after the goal. Yeah, alright mush. I'll order my Ched Evans mask now then, shall I?

One of my earliest memories of Lenny Henry. Never really been that great.

I'm actually ahead of the game. Running Man doesn't start until 2017, according to the blurb on the movie.

Nice followup to this:- http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jan/05/germans-march-oppose-pegida-far-right-racism-tolerance Counter-marches. Much bigger counter-marches. Plus loads of buildings turning their lights off in solidarity with those protesting against Pegida.

I thought everything "just worked" on a Mac.

Unbelievable Jeff creating the handbook for his personal Stasi right there. Papervorkz pls, as a heavily and comedically accented Bear might say.

Alexei Sayle was good, if not great in his day. His solo skit in The Young Ones "Boring" is superb. I also enjoyed his series on BBC2, which featured the talents of a young-ish Angus Deayton and Felicity Montagu, who later on became Alan Partridge's long-suffering assistant Lynn. I've heard Sayle on a couple of interviews recently and he's come across like a proper tosser. He may well be the godfather of alternative comedy in the UK, but that's really an accolade for others to bestow on him, not something that he bangs on about incessantly in Richard Herring's podcast.

Comedy is a weird beast. There are very few comedians that remain consistently fresh and relevant. As much as I loved Rik Mayall and Ade Edmondson, outside of the some of the Comic Strip films and their cameos in Blackadder, they were basically doing the same act. I saw John Fothergill compere the Comedy Store, liked him so much that I looked up some of his earlier stuff. He was telling the same jokes a decade ago. I know I said Jack Dee only had about three years worth of material, but those were some fine years. Got a couple of his DVDs which carried distinct gags, so was a little disappointed to see him recycling it on future tours. He's in the Grey Havens of Radio4 now. A happy ending. But definitely check out Live at the Apollo. Jimmy Carr does my títs in. Technically, he's a great performer. Can't fault the delivery or his general presentational skills, but he's representative of a whole class of stand-ups that seem to like the pound a bit more than the punchline. Viz rips the píss out of him for his "no corporate customer turned away" take on appearances, and I wonder myself if there anything he wouldn't do. 8 out of 10 cats does Running Man? I wouldn't rule it out.

Pah. Newsthump were rocking this in the morning.
