I like Chiswick. The high street is ok and the area around Gunnersbury and Strand on the Green is very nice. Don't think it's soulless, it's pretty quiet and residential.

Absolutely love that there is someone in Istanbul watching a video of an aqua camper van from 1960s Surrey.

Wonderful film and inspiration for a great scene in Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey. Wouldn't say it's little known though. One of the most famous British films ever.

Becoming one of my least favourite players of recent years. Just quite irritating off the pitch and unreliable on it.

It's like the sequel to Big. Phenomenally successful football manager wakes up one day as Russell Martin.

I'm so glad I'm too bourgeois to know who Greg Wallace is.

Tamworth through

Aha we have a winner. Got to Rd 2 a couple of times, lost 7-2 to QPR in 1963.

Looking through the football club history database it seems that none of those have gone past round 1.

Probably been asked before but has any other Leicestershire side after us gone this far?

Keep reminding yourself that it will get better, because it will. I've been through difficult spells, nothing extremely serious but still unpleasant times, and things do get better. Keep yourself busy and do physical exercise.

Bloody hell

That's a great save, ball coming through a crowd.

Would be a fascinating experiment seeing Man City playing at this ground.

As always, an eminently winnable game. The aim is the same as every season which is to get as far as possible.

Thanks for putting the extra info in brackets because for a moment I thought you meant the newspaper, or the star.

Not sure I want to see us play on that pitch

Donny looking beat already

I went to the game. He didn't initially go up and the crowd were screaming for him to get in the box. I think that slight delay meant the Oldham defenders didn't pick him up. Funniest thing was seeing all the old boys who had left come sheepishly walking up the steps again back to their seats.

Fair points and I agree with some of what you say. My opposition to the law change is along the lines of what Clapham Fox posted above about the system being open to abuse or people being coerced into choosing assisted dying. 21st century Britain is a country where the poor and vulnerable are frequently seen - and sometimes see themselves - as a burden on society and on the state, and where the National Health Service is increasingly viewed not just as something to protect sick people but as something that needs to be protected from sick people. So yes I could see "have you simply considered dying?" becoming a frequently asked question. This sounds like worst case scenario but imo worst case scenario is a very good reason not to do something. I also fear the law being extended as it has been in other countries. Again people will say this is scaremongering and the slippery slope doesn't exist, but there is evidence to the contrary. In Canada the slippery slope looks more like a waterslide. If there was a guarantee that this was just going to be the terminally ill supping the hemlock I wouldn't be against it. Although I do have a religious background that doesn't really influence my judgement here and in the not so distant past I was probably mostly in the 'Yes' camp. I just don't see how you can safeguard this adequately and I am surprised after the last decade or so how much trust some people have in our lawmakers to enact such a huge change without totally ****ing stuff up. To paraphrase something I saw on twitter yesterday, "I wonder who will chair the first assisted suicide scandal inquest?".

If I understand you correctly you are saying assisted dying is a better option for people who can't afford excellent end of life care? Because this seems quite similar to arguments those against the bill are making.

I am biased because I am not in favour of assisted dying, but I think there has been an attempt from many (not all) on the Yes side to portray almost everyone against as being motivated by religious beliefs.
