    Incident outside parliament in london - developing now

    You clearly don't know very much about the NI conflict if you think the IRA's main aims were solely to set up some sort of theocratic catholic state. The troubles in NI had very little to do with actual religion.

    It's too hot :(

    I live in NI, the weather has been crap here all summer, think we've only had a handful of days above 20C. Miserable stuff.

    Tiger will be a real threat at the majors next year if he stays healthy, his iron play today was sensational, like the Woods of old, driving was a bit **** though. Woods big problem also was first round when finished on level par allowing the others to pull 3-5 shots away from him and then from...

    US Open 2018

    Nadal wins a record 33rd Masters 1000. 40-3 overall match record this year, one of those 3 defeats was to Cilic in the Aus Open when he was injured, another was Thiem when he was knackered, and to Djokovic indoors which he very nearly won. Really is in the form of his life right now. The only...

    NY Times and Sarah Jeong racism row

    There appears to be an argument from people supporting her that ethnic minorities can't truly be racist due to the systematic bias that acts against non whites in a western society, racism from white's is "punching down" racism from non whites is "punching up". There's some truth to that but...

    Boris and the burka

    Wonder what catchy slogans he'll have come the next election when he's the party leader, wall meme's, muslim ban's, at least it will make for entertaining TV.

    Paid the whole £49.99 up front (yeah I know I'm a mug), I actually quite like the coverage so far, I heard Kevin Keatings is being hired for La Liga coverage (the bloke who did it on Sky for 17 years). Anyway, Tiger was having a mare today and managed to claw it back to level par. Scrambled...

    US Open 2018

    Superb win for Murray yesterday against Edmund. Fancy him to go deep into this competition.

    It's too hot :(

    London forecast for the next 6 days: 20C 24C 24C 25C 27C 28C Of course the further out the less likely the predictions are accurate, but it looks like come august we're heading for mid 20s at least.

    How often do you go to the Dentist?

    That's amazing, I think I've got something like 15-20 of them lol. That's what a diet of crisps and fizzy drinks till the age of 30 will do to you. My teeth look good though, just endless number of fillings (most of which are white now).

    How often do you go to the Dentist?

    Not been since late 2016, think I'll arrange one shortly as I think I've gotten a crack developing in one of my teeth.

    US Open 2018

    Unlikely, I mean who? Zverev? Kyrgios? Thiem? Shapavalov? They're good players but their levels are absolutely nowhere near (certainly not on a consistent basis) of those of the big 3, arguably the 3 greatest players of all time. Nadal and Djokovic are both in exceptional form right now, one...

    Wimbledon 2018

    Federer's not playing Toronto, opting to play Cincinnati as his only pre US Open tournament instead. He got injured last year in Canada and ****** up his chances for the US Open so its a precautionary move. *** Do not circumvent the swear filter ***

    Tiger's got a 3-5 year window max to potentially win another major (or two), if he stays injury free and plays the way he's been playing in 2018 so far he has a realistic chance of breaking Sam Snead's total PGA wins record. Its a small window, very unlikely he'll surpass Nicklaus (5 majors is...

    Wimbledon 2018

    50 slams for Fedalovic Federer 20 Nadal 17 Djokovic 13 That's 12.5 years worth of consecutive slams. They've also won 46 out of the past 54 slams (85%).

    Tiger Woods in within a chance on final sunday, when's the last time you said that? Mind you loads of other people are to. 20 players are within 5 shots of the lead.

    FIFA World Cup 2018 - Final [15 July] **spoilers**

    France have only beaten one team in this WC by more than one goal, that was against Uruguay even then Muslera had to help them out. A lot of this is down to Deschamps's very cautious tactics, arguably a little too cautious given the talent he has at his disposal. As soon as France go 1-0 up...
