Watching that puffin just over a week ago on TV weave its way through the seagulls to get the fish to the nest I was on my feet yelling "Go on, my son!" the way I do when I see an England player weave his way through the opposition to get the ball to the opposition goal. Exactly the same, only...

There are many things wrong with the BBC today, but its natural history programmes are not amongst them. The BBC's natural history programmes must be the best in the world, and I often wonder how they film such wildlife events the way they do. Sir David Attenborough may be 96, but the veteran...

That's Bolton Wanderers. They hold the dubious record for the most top flight appearances (which nowadays is the Premier League) of all the teams that have never won it. But they have won the FA Cup four times: in 1923, 1926, 1929 and 1958, with the Final of the latter being against a severely...

Right. Translate what you said in your previous post, speak English and stop trolling. I still wonder why, after nearly 20 years, I'm not a moderator here. I'd soon sort you out. You like winding me up and I've had years of it. I ain't putting up with it anymore.

What? Do you speak English? Do you want me to explain the events more simply for you? If you can't speak English then why comment? And what's the point of me messaging you because you can't understand a word.

Good point. Nowadays watching the Parliament Channel and I see the Commons or the Lords all I see is MPs or Lords and Baronesses sat there looking at their phones, and I just think they're just busy posting crap on Facebook or Twitter rather than running the country. The Prime Minister and the...

As for Queen: What a bunch of legends! Famous for their global megahits of the 1970s and for being the world's most successful band after The Beatles. And you can hardly get a better vocalist than Freddie Mercury. I quite like this song of theirs. Incredibly, the video was filmed when Freddie...

If the British monarch knights you then you ARE a knight. As far as I know nobody else has the power to confer a knighthood onto somebody, unless that power has been given to them by the monarch when the monarch is unable to do it, like if they're on a State Visit somewhere.

And I'm sorry, Caroline, you can blather about "international law" all you like but Britain is a democracy and so domestic laws trump international laws. The laws our elected representatives make should take precedence over laws made by unelected foreigners. It's just basic common sense. Happy...
