I'm enjoying the Gallagher much more than the Pro14 this season, though I suspect some of that is just because there are more games available to me to watch given the TV services we use :) Some of it is also no doubt due to the Scarlets struggling a bit this season. Anyway, both my wife and I...

We went to a local cafe yesterday. They don't advertise 'all the trimmings', but they do list what you're going to get. The trimmings we had were cranberry sauce, and 5 pigs in blankets, along with 9 sprouts and what seemed to be a serving dish of carrots. Then there were 5 roasties and a big...

I think it might have something to do with my film and theatre degree, which was very much based in critical analysis! The thing is, after the previous week when the cowardly Brisih officer made a sacrifice which mean that both sides coulkd work together, I sort of expected the same thing to...

The themes were very similar - foes having to work together in the end. Both episodes featured historical warriors, in the first one it was the Birtish Army of the Victorian era, in the second the Picts and the Romans. The episodes would have worked better if they hadn't followed on from each...

I can't sorry. I fail to see what all the fuss is about myself.

Both Mrs Greenback and myself have enjoyed the series overall, though we thought last week's was too similar to the Ice Warriors episode. It's a shame that Peter Capaldi is leaving at this point,but wiht a new script editor and a new lead, it seems like there could be a total refresh coming.

The intiial squad flew out and arrived in New Zealand on the Wednesday before playing on the Saturday. I am sorry, but Cory Hill is not a British Lion. These call up's don't do anything to enhance the Lions. In fact, they completely undemrine them, so I should be pleased, but I'm not!

I'm not interested in the Lions, but I have to agree with Eddie Jones. Call up's should be on merit.

Please stay on topic, whihc is the aftermath of the General Election. That means no discussions about age, maturity, Tony Blair, or anything else, thank you. I don't mind admitting that after having had to take my axe to almost 100 posts in this thread, I'm getting a little fed up with the...

The manifesto was poor, I don't think there can be much of an argument about that. It seems likely that we'll have to go through all this again at some point in the coming months. How much of a swing will there be to Labour and the COnservaties from the other parties, or will ther ebe mor...

I cna't really see May's position being tenable, at least not in the emdium to long term. It's allv ery well for the Tory hierachy to rally around her in the enxt few days, but she has messed up big style. If the DUP are happy for her to continue as PM, which isn't a given, then the knives will...

Welcome to the forum, cheerfreighter, and a belated welcome to you, too, davejc64.

I don't usually want a 'Like' button on this site, DynamicSpirit, but your post has made me wish we had one. Well said, sir.

The more I think about, the more I want the monks to be the forerunners of the Cybermen. Yet I'm also perturbed byt he continuity porblems and some of the dialogue in the last two episodes. I think that there may be a few twists and turns yet.

As I watched last night's episode (on Iplayer after enjoying the Pro12 rugby union final live) I couldn't help feeling there was a link to the Cybermen somewhere, but I just couldn't think where! On the face of it, the appearanc eof the monks being decaying organic beings could point to them...

I deifnitely think that part of education should be learning to think for yourself, challenge what you are told or what you read, and understanding why people spread fake news and put forward conspiracy theories.

The debate on media coverage of atrocities like this is an interesting one. My feeling is that these awful incidents need to be reported by mainstream media, but that the reports need to be playe ddown a bit. I don't think it's going to happen though, as there is too much in the way of rolling...

Sir Roger was not my choice as the best Bond, but by all accounts he was a very good humoured man who knew his own limitations as an actor and poked fun at himself as much as anyone did. He will be missed.

I'm very pleased that the Chiefs are in the final. Naturally, I'm also very pleased with the Scarlets' fantastic display in beating Leinster to reach the Pro12 final.

There really isn; much of a link at all between speaking Welsh and being Welsh. I can understand the view form those outside the country, but there is no shame to be felt in not being a fluent Welsh speaker here. I feel more like a victim, to be honest. The reason my families didn't speak...
