I think that will be pretty cool, he's a very good orator. You might want to video it in case somebody shoots him.

I doubt that Ryan is the missing ingredient for the reason we've won no silverware for 17 years

There are reports Clattenburg called Mikel a "cheeky monkey". If Chelsea have reported the ref for saying that then you have to wonder if there are any brain cells in the club. EPL has got mad on the subject of racism. I'm all for throwing the book at racists, but christ, they (the league) are making themselves look stupid at the moment.

I think Borgen series 2 is due early next year on BBC4.

Been traipsing through all the Scandinavian Noir. Have seen The Killing 1 & 2, The Bridge and I am now on Borgen. All very good but I have to say that The Killing 1 might possibly be the best drama series of at least the last 10 years - outstanding stuff. Series 3 (the final series) starts on BBC4 on 17th November

Some comfort for those of us worried about Romney winning: http://www.businessinsider.com/nate-silver-election-odds-2012-10-b

That's a term of endearment up here though. Different matter with the soft southerners in the EPL.

If Clattenburg has used racist language then that's going to get seriously messy. FA will have grounds for firing him.

Those cunts/that cunt at Road Sense have a lot to answer for. I could be wrong but is Trump not part-funding the dualling of the A90?

Much preferred Casino Royale to Goldeneye, mainly because it was much more like Sean's Bond films. In fact, I would say Casino Royale was the best Bond film since Live and Let Die, and Daniel Craig the best Bond since Connery. Skyfall is certainly up there with Casino Royale for me.

I think they've kept it a secret.

Where do you start with this - a photo featuring a Catholic Priest and Jimmy Saville?

I thought Skyfall was great, definitely one of the better Bond films. Loved the nod to Goldfinger!

Plenty of snow falling in Aberdeen at the moment. Just putting it out there.....

Anything south of Stonehaven is the general rule of thumb

Plenty snow falling in Aberdeen just now, beginning to lie a bit.

EE story says he was allegedly driving while his licence had been revoked.

A good spot of Sally-bashing in Tomo's latest blog: http://blogs.channel4.com/alex-thomsons-view/piercing-wall-silence-surrounding-rangers-fans/2891

What a fucking clown.

Surely some folk are going to end up in jail for all this? D&P look particularly bad at the moment.

Skyfall tonight. Seems to be getting very good reviews!
