Cheers for that Pugwash. I'll search for those when I have time.

I believe her mum is from Southampton, but she isn't really a fan. We'll claim that one though I reckon

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-21973505 Sad news - "Monty you terrible c**t!" I was surprised to read he was 65 when he died. That means he would still have been in his thirties when Withnail & I was made, and he looked a lot older in it.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/21967790 Webber and Vettel row has been 'settled'. In other news, Pope admits to being Jewish and pigs to be given formal air traffic control training.

Right, I've had enough of my DVD collection taking up space and looking untidy, so I want to rip them all and store them on my USB drive so I can get rid of the discs. Can anybody recommend a good ripping application that will allow this? I've searched online and can't seem to find any that don't charge an absolute fortune for the licence to rip protected DVDs.

John Inverdale, when not watching or commentating on the the egg-chasing, is a Saints fan. I heard him recounting his memories of the 76 cup final in a radio show once.

Just got this on an email alert... http://www.gigsandtours.com/tour/sigur-ros/?src=gtemail

Lastnight's documentary showed him up for what I have long suspected about him: a devious, conniving s***bag who will say and do anything to perpetuate his cheeky-chappy, lovable buffoon image, while being anything but. Millions of people seem to have been taken in by his apparent charm, but not me. If he ever gets to be PM, I'm emigrating.

Webber: "Seb made his own decisions today, and he'll be protected as usual." Ouch.

Oh wow - another Red Bull 1-2. Didn't see that coming Rosberg is gonna be ****ed!

Dodgy wheel nut problem. It's interesting to see he's clinging on to the back of the front runners though, despite being a lap down.

Simply awesome intro.

Not to p155 on your bonfire Pap, but there isn't really much of a climax to that track - it just kind of peters out at the end.

This. We can only hope it rains again at some point tomorrow to mix things up a bit.

Rain coming down now, half way through Q2. Looks like Paul Di Resta is going to miss out on Q3 as a result - everyone else got a lap time in beforehand.

The new Bonobo album - released yesterday. I was eagerly anticipating this release but having listened to it all the way through twice now, I'm sorry to say it is very disappointing compared to his previous work.

Owen retiring? Makes me feel old! It doesn't seem like that long ago he was being hyped as the future of English football. Was 'that' goal really 15 years ago!?!?

Guly is not, and never will be, a PL standard player. Sometimes he tries hard; sometimes he can't be ar$ed. His first touch is lacking and his passing is often wayward and ineffective. I will not be the least bit surprised or disappointed if he is offloaded in the summer. Given Cortese's obvious ambition, it's clear he has no future in our first team and we already have better options for the bench.

Yeah because Iraq is a much safer place for all of its citizens now isn't it. Oh, hang on... no it isn't. He may have been a deluded nutter who loved to antagonise the west, but given the sectarian war that has claimed so many lives since his removal, it's hard to argue against his claim that "The only way to rule Iraq is with an iron fist." Saddam was no threat to us. He was, however, a threat to America's economic strategy of printing worthless dollars to buy oil from the middle east, because he decided he wanted to be paid in Euros instead.

From page 50/51 of that document.... Exactly one year later, after Bush and his band of neo-cons had taken power, they got their new Pearl Harbor. Coincidence???

He's got a very valid point. It was a terribly sloppy goal to concede. two or three times it should have been dealt with before it landed at Coutinho's feet, and when it did we had 4 or 5 players in the box ball-watching and not picking him up.

How about a system such as in Tennis, where each player has a set amount of challenges. Lets say each team is given three challenges, and if a player/team thinks the ref has got something wrong or missed something completely, the captain can approach the ref and use one of their allotted challenges. 20-second break while the fourth official checks the TV replays and on we go. It would be a much shorter stoppage than if the whole team goes mental and surrounds the ref, resulting in him dishing out some yellow cards. Although I guess that's part of the drama isn't it.
