I agree with you, I’ve never really seen the point of Lent and giving up chocolate or sweets or whatever. I didn’t know you can have Sundays off, which makes it seem even more pointless. But agree with...

I’m a bit surprised to see you using “The IQ Argument” as a reason to vote against AV. As far as I can tell, it’s the No campaign who have been understating our intelligence, implying we’re all too...

Let’s be honest if there is a country that can under perform it is the good old UK. I’m also disappointed not to see the Ukraine on the list! We have a sand painter!!!! a SAND PAINTER!

Hi, Noel! Great overview of the show! Not that funny, but very professional. You should bring this to some newspaper! It would be very good to reed it in Ryanair’s magazine, for example!Haven’t you...

A couple of your comparisons with iOS are a little short-sighted – you mention in Birdsong about ‘live tiles’, but iOS doesn’t really have anything like that to compare with. A better comparison would...

I was about to say we don’t have this problem, but that may be because I ride a bike in our town centre and therefore people think I’m too fast or broke to bother with.

Financial history is bollocks too – what about the end result? I substantially don’t watch TV but I do watch F1 which would cost me £36 a race
View ArticleComment on Calm Down Everyone: F1 On TV by Noelinho
To be honest, I’m not sure what you’re getting at with the “financial history”, but we can’t hold broadcasters responsible if all we choose to watch is one thing. That’s our choice. Someone has to pay...

Very interesting table, and one which I would generally agree with. It would be interesting to maybe factor in differing home and away strengths, as well as offensive vs defensive strengths, to...

I definitely think the Seattle – Washington game could be the pick of the bunch. Hard to pick between them, but I think the Seattle defense will win out against the Washington offense. With the Vikings...
