  • FA Cup Ground Switching

    It seems that Yealding have decided that they should try to hold their FA Cup tie against Newcastle at their home ground after all. A couple of years ago there was the farcical situation where Farnborough decided that they’d prefer to play their tie against Arssenal at Highbury instead of at home. Of course they…

  • Olympic Fox Hunting Chaos

    The sordid small-minded Countryside Alliance feel that disrupting the visit of International Olympic Committee members to London is the way to go according to a report in The Observer.

  • Mimas

    Go to the NASA site to see this picture of one of Saturn’s moons as seen by the Cassini probe. Actually Mimas looks quite a lot like the Death Star… (Obviously, I’m not the first to notice this resemblence)

  • Apple & Band Aid

    Someone more cynical than me might think that Apple agreeing to carry the new Band Aid single for its standard 79p price, but donating an additional 70p for each sale they make, is something of a marketing gimmick. It’s worth noting that the official site sells it for £1.99 rather than the £1.49 Band Aid…
