Standing at the bar in the theatre tonight, I found myself standing next to David Mellor (wish I'd been wearing my Kick David Mellor out of Football t-shirt) on one side and Ross Kemp on the other - both in separate groups I hasten to add.
Has anyone seen a more unlikely pair than that in any...
While cycling through Balham this morning I saw a bloke wearing what looked to be a Brighton scarf.
I know Wozza and it wasn't him, so does anyone know if there's another Seagulls fan in SW12?
We're working on a story about hackers targeting betting sites. Has anyone here noticed a site being unavailable some time in the past couple of weeks. We know that Paddy Power is one - any others?
PM if you have any info
Cheers
The two managers in the League Cup final are both English. When was the last time a major English cup final was contested by two English-managed teams?
Those people who remember Southern TV will remember presenter James Montgomery. We're having a discussion in the office about Southern and I recall that JM was married to a porno star or similar.
Can anyone remember whom he was hitched to?
This has just been posted on the Sussex site:

South African Test batsman Gary Kirsten last night ruled out a move to county champions Sussex. "I've had a couple of very attractive business offers outside the game," he said. "I was very flattered and seriously...
Men's Fitness magazine runs a survey of our unhealthiest cities based on a variety of factors (drinking, fattiness, life expectancy, fast food outlets etc). It's produced this year's list of the unhealthiest cities in the country...pleased to see Brighton's not there.

Our hot debate at work today is about corporal punishment. Who went to a school where they had it? Who actually got caned or strapped? And what was the attitude of the pupils? At my school, it was almost seen as a badge of honour cos it was quite rare, but at my colleague's school the strap was...
Thanks for everyone's suggestions of a couple of weeks ago. They didn't have Julio Iglesias (they didn't have too many people actuallu) so in the end I went as David Bowie (and I still can't get the make-up off - I can't believe that women go through that palaver every day).
Anyway, my rousing...
I'm taking part in a Stars in their Eyes event for journalists (not a televised one, I hasten to add). We're being made up by professional make-up people so we can be who we want.
Who should I opt for? I fancy going as Bowie, but as i'm a dark-skinned, overweight welshman, it might be hard to...
The hot debate in our office today is whether 'septic' is an offensive term for an American. Would you use it to a American's face (assuming he or she's not a southerner of course).
Would you be offended if someone called you a Limey? Do you think that Mick, Jock and Taff are offensive terms...
From the BBC. Good to see Scottish football moves with the times (although the sub can't seem to tell the difference between a ref and a lino).

After nine days in the US (and boy, it's great to be back in Blighty) I'm frantically trying to catch up with what's been happening.
Obviously, I know the main things: the Stockport and Peterborough results, that we've drawn Lincoln, and that the fat Scot is the new manager, but have I missed...
