I think that the term "under age" was thrown about by the media because she was 15 when first recruited by Epstein,

Not sure if marching was involved, unless it was a euphemism.

He also pleaded guilty. He was clearly out of order drink driving but also clearly did not set out to purposely kill anyone. Tragic case but very different circumstances.

At least

Didn't he also put in a good word for Epstein after his conviction?

Nostalgia time - does anyone remember Michael Palin's Ripping Yarns?

Saw this on the Americans thread. Very, very funny!

The reason we are doing so well is that for the most part we are playing well as a team. RK and the backroom staff should take a lot of credit for the job they have done this season. The fact that it is so hard to single one player out says it all. Great team effort!

The police made some enquiries and found who she had been with. When interviewed they both said that they had had sex with her and that it had been consensual. The guys trying to film the action through the window did not succeed apparently.

A big shout for another defector, honest 'Arry Redknapp - great result at home to Sheffield United!

Me too, Saturday afternoons weren't they? Karl Pilkington would do better to go off on his own. The premise that he is the idiot abroad doesn't really work when there are two bigger idiots sitting up home trying to make their mate look stupid. Sat through the Merchant American sitcom which was painful.

I was being careful with my wording Duncan but the partying I heard was of the more extreme kind!

I think Gervais was playing himself in the Office. His sidekick, Karl Pilkington is much funnier.

Not a great Cordon fan either. For some reason me and Mrs SOG sat through Vampire Lesbian film for a second time ( we didn't think much of it first time round) and sure enough, it was still rubbish.

LOL, they have already given consent haven't they?

I see that he said that he never meet this girl yet there is a picture on the front pages of several newspapers with his arm around her? Used to be loads of rumours of him hanging out and partying big time with both genders in Brighton back in the 80s but this is the first I have heard of underage sex though. Chip off the old block I expect - Phil the Greek and Mountbatten were supposedly party animals too.

How much of that was down to travelling against the wrong attitude though? We do seem to raise our game against the better teams and switch off in matches we think we will walk through.

It was the Rik Mayall programme that prompted me to start this thread. I was laughing so much through the tribute that I suddenly realised that I don't laugh much during comedy programmes nowadays. His occasional appearances in Blackadder still crack me up. Sadly missed.

Meant to mention Miranda too - all those looks to camera - pah. Glad to see I am not alone with Mrs Brown's Boys - utter carp.

Both.

Maybe I am just get old and grumpy but I find that many comedians just aren't that funny these days. How Keith Lemon gets work is beyond me. I love a bit of surreal comedy but Noel Fielding doesn't make me laugh. Mrs Brown could have been written by a 14 year old boy with Tourette's. Decent comedy shows on TV are few and far between. Am I missing something? I remember the new wave of comedians coming through in the 80s (Comic Strip, ben Elton etc) and blowing away the bloated golf chums (Tarbuck etc) away. After watching the self satisfied bunch on Big Fat Quiz the other night this lot could also do with being blown away.

Don't you recall how many matches we had to play in the Championship? Maybe not 3 away in a row but often 3 a week. I expect the team will stay away so not too much travelling.

She said she woke up alone and had no recollection of what had happened to her. If she had woken and had consented I assume she would have remembered that.
