So do i :D A lot of United fans must now be cursing the first 3 years of failure that was such a part of the Fergie legend. Makes it harder for the board to excuse an abrupt sacking this time. But even Moyes' achievements at Everton (and given the budgets, there's no doubt he overachieved, at...

So did anyone not have Suarez as captain yesterday? Was expecting to shoot up the table: instead I seem to have scored below average.

I've always found JBs a bit fey. I liked this Lanza album, at least enough to still have the promo lying around, but obviously nothing like as much as you did. Not sure what my favourites are: Disclosure is the one I played most for a month or so when it came out. Also the Steve Mason and...

Really? I need to give that another listen.

You don't intend to set the ball rolling?

William Boyd is an upper-middle-class ex-public school white guy in his early 60s. If he can't be left in peace to enjoy Keane it's a bit of a rum do.

Why are people getting so excited about this? I've got a Facebook mate who's active in SSP or some such and he's posted on this at least 10 times in the last few weeks. Hasn't Vermont had an avowedly socialist senator for years? Edit: sorry if that sounded dismissive - wasn't meant to, I'm just...

Ta. Do I need to read TTSS & SP in order? The second follows the first iirc.

Panama is the only Le Carre I've read. I didn't enjoy it at all, either because or in spite of it being Greene's Our Man in Havana redux, I'm not sure which. Is Tinker Tailor the best?

I guess it's not influence but plagiarism that needs proving for a lawsuit to be successful. That quote won't help him any, though.

OMFG, RESPONDS TO CROWLEYHEAD IN BIG SHOUTY CAPS WITH STICKY-OUT TONGUE.

And I like this more than the quietus piece, probably for the opposite reason sited by mistersloane.

It's a pretty clear of rip of Got to Give it Up, no? edit: Sorry, a point already made, I see. Yeah, I think it is, Rich, more in the rhythm than the melody line. Thicke and Pharrell have launched a pre-emptive legal suit to stop Marv's family suing. Fuck knows how that works.

Barbara Castle was a star and if Labour had listened to her history could've been very different. In Place of Strife = no Winter of Discontent = no Thatcher. Greatest leader we never had.

Then you can't have been looking very far. Tom Chivers and the Robert Webb (posted upthread) should do for starters, but there's plenty more.

Sing it, brother. Wasn't he also recently quizzed on WWI – a subject on which he's just written a book/made a TV series, yet apparently knows fuck all. There was a point to Paxman once. Now he's as much a product of celebrity culture as Robbie Savage, TV pundit.

I don't think you'd like the new one, then, unless the new CIA chief turns out to be even more of an arsehole than he already seems.

No, it's based on whether or not the CIA know he is. Later it's based on.... OK, won't give anything away.

Well at least some good's come of it – we've got a new member.

Of the ones I've seen, none of those shows you mentioned can hold a candle to BB (apart from the Wire, again). While I like, Boardwalk Empire it's essentially an upscale American costume drama (although this series is shaping up promisingly after a shaky last) and Peaky Blinders is, as you say...
