Trav Le Bleu

It's not a trend, it's a surf culture thing that's been going on for decades and you've only just noticed it. Weird Fish t-shirts have been around since the early 90s and personally I love them - good quality, comfortable, last for years - though they're far from the only company that do that. Quiksilver, Rip Curl and others do.

So they won't let Somali referee Omar Artan into the country, but will allow RVN, despite his terror crimes.

I didn't say it had to be a big bomb. Maybe just blow glitter all over the place. A big gay bomb.

He's not as good as Sergio Hellings.

Some terrorist organisation should put a bomb in the starting match ball.

Backing Japan due to our Shinji and Yuki links, as opposed to our Dutch links of Mark de Vries and RVN.

The name Wales comes from an Old English word meaning, "foreigner."

Never had one I like.

I think because they can drink it quickly and more of it (because usually less flavour (especially the chilled stuff) and lower alcohol content, people think they're getting more drunk and can brag about how many pints they've had. So they go for Dishwater Black Label or ice cold cerveza. Most of those people have never tried anything else You'd rarely down a really nice ale in one or two goes. Needs to be savoured. Don't get me started in Strongbow. I like cider, which is why I don't like Strongbow.

I think that's an astute summary. It's a system where everyone needs to fit, or it doesn't work. Which unfortunately is probably more difficult to find at a lower level.

ROGER FEDERER, CARL JUNG, HENRI NESTLÉ, URSULA ANDRESS, BRUNO BERNER, WILLIAM TELL... YOUR BOYS TOOK ONE HELL OF A BEATING!

Qatar deserve a point for their dogged defending.

I guess it depends on whether you want a defensive force to defend the UK, or do you also want to defend the Falklands, St Helena, Bermuda, Gibraltar, etc. Because if it's the former, then UK armed forces as they stand should be adequate. Our island nation is geographically very defencible, it would take an enormous effort to create any meaningful beachhead. If it's the later then that involves a much higher level of logistics, maintaining a significant presence around the globe in order to react swiftly to any threat, which the UK forces are probably not able to do as effectively as would be liked.

The kick-off countdown at the World Cup matches. I really hope a player has the balls to pull up short and fake the kick off so that it doesn't work.

Can't work out how Joanna Page won. I just remembered her being bad at tasks and not funny. Kumail was the highlight of last series, very down to earth for someone who has been in Hollywood blockbusters. Interesting line up next in as much as I am familiar with all the contestants. Not sure how funny Conti will be without a dummy, but might be able to use her skills to food effect and I don't think Petts is particularly funny. Ayoade rarely disappoints though, but there's always one person who either you don't know or don't like who you end up rooting for.
