Yeah. My wife and I visited Mycenae and Epidavros in 1986. Memorable experiences. We also visited several impressive historical sites along the Aegean coast of Turkey: Troy, Pergamon, and Ephesus.

I hiked the Coast-to-Coast Walk (west to east) in 2015 with two of my best friends from school. We took 14 days. Incredible experience. Highly recommended.

My wife and I did a three-week holiday (in April, last year) touring around Provence, in the south of France. Fantastic place. Some other favourite destinations: Paris, Venice, Florence, Patmos, Mykonos and Crete. I suppose I take London for granted. I've been there many times. It's a wonderful city to explore.

I've been to Annecy. Beautiful place. We were there for several days. A highlight of our stay was renting bicycles and riding a long way down the western side of Lac d'Annecy.

Hard to argue with this. Too bad, however, that there's no room for Terry Paine.

Psychological pressure, perhaps, because of the constant public scrutiny; but, come on! Try working 40+ hours a week on minimum wage to feed you and your kids and to keep a roof over your head. Then talk about pressure.

This is a tad confusing. Why would you want to have "a good chance of bouncing back up to the Premiership", when you've lost interest in it?

I sense that there's no leadership on or off the field. And not much team spirit. No dominant characters that inspire or push other players to do their best. Too many self-centred players who put in inconsistent effort and wilt under pressure.

Mr. Gao: "Explain me again, Mr. Krueger, how relegation will 'take our business to the next level'."

Lemina is ill. He puked on the side of the pitch earlier.

Nice one!

Thanks. I won't start a long process of troubleshooting, then! Not yet, at least. What's their problem? It's a home game, FFS!

Anyone else not getting sound from St Mary's? Commentary with AB and DM, I mean.

Tell me, would chants and songs from the Northam end not be heard at all in the family section?

It's a matter of social convention and historical change, I would think. Football supporters will chant the words that they know are likely to give the most offence.

It baffles you? Really? If it didn't cause offence, then it wouldn't be chanted—n'est-ce pas?

"It's just a word ... the more it is used the less of an impact it has." Would this argument fly when applied to racist language, or homophobic language? Are there distinctions to be drawn between utterances made in private, or semi-private, situations and those spoken (or yelled) out in the general public? Should behaviour and speech be moderated when children are present?

Wouldn't that be sweet!

I found this quite by accident the other day. Two pianists take turns playing OWTSGMI in different styles (mostly classical and jazz). Brilliant!

Did a google search. Found this.

Might be. I'm having trouble getting to the "live" commentary.

Yes; 1-1 draw on Feb 14th. Saints won the replay 4-0 on the 17th.

Ha! ha!

"Yes, I may be blind, but you are deaf."
