He has just made the announcement at his press conference, according to euro sport.

I remember when I walked into O'Sheas for the first time. I had always thought that the most dangerous thing you could have in a place that has a 24-hour Happy Hour is a casino. But then I saw Vince Neil Ink...

Moving on to charity "chuggers" - the guys who stop you in the street trying to sign you up for the RSPCA or similar. As they approach you, saying "Goodmorning" or whatever opening line they are working with, simply put your hand up and say "Can I just stop you there?" They always say of course,  then you just keep walking past. Never fails.

That is very good. My own one is:

"Excuse me, sir. Are you free to stop and talk to me, please?"
"I'd love to but a court order says I mustn't"

Blind-sides them every time. There's one woman who actually moves away when she recognises me.

Admittedly, that does make me feel a bit like some form of predator, but as long as it's just one chugger and not the entire High Street, I can still find it funny!

Loving the PPI call advice. Will def look into getting the calls blocked.

We made a number of good picks last year in both the draft and free agency and found ourselves doing comically well against some highly astute offences (winning at Gillette a particular highlight!). But like you say it's about offering an alternative and we looked weak out wide last year.

The AL East is a pretty unforgiving place!

As a bills fan, it's hard to get excited about the draft. I really hope we get some more options in the offence, where we looked so limited in the second half of last season. It didn't take the opposition long to work out where it was going! Seems like we're prob keeping faith with our Harvard QB but I'm not convinced beefing up the OL will make much of a difference.

Any views on this?

Compulsive viewing every year for me - this one especially so.

Having spent some time around some of the Blue Boat rowers back in the day, they are among the fittest group of athletes I can imagine.  The preparation leading upto the race is just ridiculous and they still have to study around this.

The biggest surprise yesterday was that only one of the Cambridge crew was studying Land Economy (answering this to 'what are you studying?' usually results in 'what sport do you play?' as a follow up).

Bit harsh! The blue boat are normally grad students, so they're doing MPhils in International Relations They are seriously big blokes, tho. I remember seeing Kieren West close up. He looked like a giant inverted triangle on top of two tree trunks!
