I have similar qualms over His Dark Materials, where they have set it in the present day, and have added in large portions of storyline that never existed in the original trilogy ( other than as events referred to as having happened in the past ). ( eg Lord Boreal's storyline - who should be a sixty-something white man ). And when they did the recent version of the ABC Murders, they mucked about unecessarily with Poirot's back story, and killed off Inspector Japp before it even got going. Why do they have to reinvent established stories just to show how clever they are, or to impose modern social sensibilities on material written well before they emerged. If they want to show how smart and 'aware' they are, they should try creating something original.

If somebody at the start of the season had offered us to be 6 points behind Man Utd after 14 matches, who would have taken it ?

Could you have done the same with Anders Breivik ? Is your assertion that the terrorist had to be the one that looked like a muslim ? Good job there weren't any Brazilian plumbers around, considering Cressida D1ck is in charge of the Met.

Which, as Batman would tell you, perfectly qualifies her to be an MP. After all, it's worked wonders for Boris.

Adams has started far more games than Long this season.

The BBC match report includes the following; "The hosts appeared set for a damaging defeat until Ings bundled home Sofiane Boufal's cross with 12 minutes remaining." "Ings eventually restored parity after fine work by Boufal on the right as he worked his way into the box with some excellent footwork" It's a shame Djenepo wasn't playing.

The TV channel Yesterday are showing an old Top Of The Pops program and have just played "The Saints are Coming" by The Skids.

Not so much a Red Bull team, more Toro Rosso.

The Poles are famous for their lancers;

Specifically, she is amused by the argument that men in the HoC and HoL don't get the opportunity to ask questions, emphasising that she is the only female member of that specific committee. She agrees that issues such as prostate and testicular cancer ahould be more openly discussed, as men tend to be reticent to do so, but she certainly doesn't come anywhere near to doing what was alleged.

Fiscal

If you look at the party leaders as a group, is this election the best argument possible against compulsory voting ?

When you hear a dolphin sqawking "So long and thanks for all the fish", start to worry.

I will probably vote Labour, simply because we have a sitting Labour MP, and I would prefer to try to keep the Tories' final majority as small as possible. This is in no way an endorsement of the nutters leading the party, it is purely tactical. If we had an effective proportional voting system I might have swayed towards the Greens. 3 things against Labour; The front bench, the ludicrous position on Brexit, and some of their fiscal proposals. For balance, 3 negatives for the Tories; Johnson, getting Brexit done ( as a remainiac ), and their position on funding public services ( just don't trust them ). As for the LDs; Swinson is a weak leader, there is still the hangover from the coalition, and their policies seem scattershot.

Define Brexit and distinguish it from bullsh_it.
