^^This^^ We're fast enterign the realm of something-must-be-doneism. But what? No-fly zone? Arms to whom? Suspect ideal option for the West is for Assad to stop killing people but remain in charge, but that's looking about as likely as a win for Good Opposition (and we don't even want to think...

PL 1 City (head says Chelsea, but I had to adopt one team during all those years in Mcr and it wasn't gonna be those other cunts) 2 Chelsea 3 Those other cunts 4 Spurs 5 Liverpool (tho this may depend on a new defender almost as much as bad boy Luis) 6 The Arse 7 Villa down, down, down Norwich...

From Guardian's description looks like this is a civil suit rather than a prosecution. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/aug/20/mohamed-elbaradei-facing-court-case?CMP=twt_gu But yeah, 'You had your fun, now back to business as usual'? looks pretty accurate regardless.

As do a loud, large and frequently poisonous number of western critics from whom Hasan is defending Islam. But I agree, it's a daft title for the debate.

Hasan is a brilliant speaker and panelist and a very good writer. He could do with being less of a dick on Twitter, though.

Carly's Why was much earlier, though it was big on the balearic and mainstream dance scene round 89/90. That was probably my favourite period for Jamaican music since the 70s – all that Gussie Clarke, 2 Friends stuff. Hard to see where it fits into what was happening in UK clubs though - at...

All true, but it's particularly notable in Mandela's case. Witness how Thatcher and the more extreme 80s Tories (such as the FCS) were vilified for calling him a terrorist (simplistic but objectively true) when their real crime was siding with apartheid against the ANC and the liberation struggle.

I forget how we join. Don't we need a code or something?

Well, if we're lucky that test will give England's batsmen (Bell excl) a much-needed kick up the arse. If not, they'll just think 'series won, job done' and continue to show the complacency that's made most of them look very droppable on current form.

Elijah's mum wins.

Brille is the UK label that licenses them here and in the US. The whole album has a pretty strong feminist angle, which was played out to some extent in the show. But the most striking thing was they spent a good chunk of the time not even pretending to be playing or singing (with part of their...

Roundhouse gig was great too, but very different. Getting tickets was a nightmare but (declares interest) luckily I have a mate at Brille...

I'd like to see that case made, not just as albums, but as major musical works. Go on, we know you've got nothing better to do.

Since I was about 20, whenever anyone's asked me about favourite album, I've always said Sly's Greatest Hits (or a Motown box set) or Riot depending on whether I was generally in a good or bad mood. But I've heard all those to death now. Silent Shout is the album I've played more than any...

Sorry, I'd assumed that was just a box of 50p CDs you'd found outside the local charity shop.

Can see this in the US, obviously, and also the idea that there's a black president now, so racism is dead so STFU going on about racist cops/judges etc etc. But the same thing is happening here. I know comments boxes aren't exactly an infallible sample, but it's now entirely mainstream there -...

I think racism is generally being re-legitimised in a way that would've been unthinkable 10-15 years ago. And yes, I blame the internet.

Beer up to a point (generally about 2 pts), V&T for anything beyond that. Ice & a slice too, please.

Is this so easy that everyone's losing interest? 4-0 prediction looking quite good at the moment, but I hope they put up some sort of fight - or failing that just start fighting each other. Either way they can't be that bad again.

I see Chelsea now denying offering either player.
