  1. Looking good. A sign that things are slowly getting back to normal. ????
  2. All rather tedious at the moment. Lewis needs a competitive car!
  3. It is certainly ironic that he used to encourage the "lock her up" chants at his rallies in 2016. Can't wait to see his mugshot.
  4. Anyway, back on topic, it will be good to see Gary and the gang back in the MOTD studio this weekend.
  5. Surely it's not the case that if you're taking meds for blood pressure and cholesterol (and have been for years), that you won't be covered for a heart attack or stroke?
  6. If you live permanently in Thailand, is the first 25% of your Defined Benefits/Final Salary pension still tax free?
  7. I'm inclined to agree. The Caitlin Jenner documentary on Netflix is well worth watching. https://www.netflix.com/th-en/title/81026436
  8. I guess it would depend on whether the language being used in 2020s Germany was not dissimilar to the language used in 1930s Germany.
  9. Yawn. How many times is Lineker going to be misquoted? I guess it's understandable if people only get their news from The Sun and the Daily Mail.
  10. The viewing figures went up compared to the week before (but were still lower than the average MOTD audience) as many just tuned in to see how it would be done. I doubt there would be as many next week, if it had continued in that format, but fortunately we'll never know!
  11. As has repeatedly been pointed out, he didn't make that comparison.
  12. Too late for that now. He didn't have to resign and can continue to 'tweet' his thoughts. It's called freedom of speech.
  13. Yes, I have BT Sport and Sky for live games, plus the 3pm kick-offs on South African and Australian channels, but it's impossible to watch all of them over a weekend! For me, catching up on all the games on Match of the Day on Sunday/Monday morning is essential viewing. Even if you dislike Lineker's politics, there's no denying he's a superlative sports presenter and MOTD is a brilliantly put together 80 minutes of viewing.
  14. Still, at least Match of the Day is back to normal.
  15. A good outcome. Well played Gary and the rest of the BBC sports pundits, presenters and commentators. A victory for free speech and decency. ????⚽
  16. I'd always assumed that Attenborough was being serious? ????
  17. Lineker was publicly critical (on Twitter!) of Jeremy Corbyn when he was Labour leader, and about the only genuinely socialist leader labour has had since Michael Foot.
  18. Not at all. But it's a Tory led organisation and that reflects its so-called "impartiality"!
  19. They only showed about 3 minutes from each game (which can be seen on YouTube anyway!). Perhaps you, and the people you speak to, are not really into football? ????. Anyway, it seems it won't need to be repeated and we can get back to normal next weekend.
  20. It means they are Conservatives which makes a mockery of your claim that somehow the BBC is left-wing!
  21. Most people (including me) tuned in to see what it would be like. Most people will not be bothering again, if it stays as 20 minutes of goal highlights with fake crowd noise! Fortunately, it's looking likely that a compromise has been reached and it will be back to normal for the BBC's FA Cup quarter-final coverage. Welcome back Gary and friends! ????????
