That's a really good analysis of an incredibly complex problem. It's not a problem that's going to go away either, immigration is such a political football and politicians are terrified of scoring an own goal through appearing soft on the issue. I'm sure that the Syrian passport that was supposedly found on one of…

Brilliant.

Turkish immigrants to Germany can vote if they take German citizenship but many choose not to. But I'm not holding Germany up as some paragon of non racism but just noting that they have been remarkably generous in the number of Syrian refugees they have agreed to take. I'm not sure that I agree with your point that…

Not sure you can generalise Europe on this issue. Germany and Sweden have been far more generous than most. Britain have been pathetic but, lets face it, the biggest failure comes from the USA who are wringing their hands over taking a measly 10, 000 refugees from the country that they're dropping bombs on.

Fuck social media sports fans who think that their national team just needs to turn up to win and should beat every other team they play and spit their dummies (pacifiers) when it doesn't happen. Looking at you fans of the England cricket team although to be fair Pakistani and Indian fans take the cake.

50% great! (the top half)

I cut down on boozing to save some money only to become addicted to ridiculously expensive coconut water.

Worms!

Just an absolute legend as a performer, songwriter and producer. Rest in peace Mr Toussaint and thanks for all of the incredible music.

In the court of funny animals the coyote wears the crown. Also, goddam I love Droopy but surely Deputy Dawg had to be in the mixer there. Dayton Allen's voice work on that show is incredible and Vincent Van Gopher makes my list as well. Heavens to murgatroid though, the biggest oversight for me would have to be…

I'm not sure why there has to be a multiple of five year anniversary to reissue a record. If you've got some extra tracks or rediscovered material to share just put it out. Prime example being The Kinks album Kinda Kinks which is fifty years old this year but was given the deluxe treatment in 2011 and I'm very glad…

Wholeheartedly seconded on Cupid & Psyche. I actually ripped every track from my vinyl copy because the cd is such awful quality. One of my favourite records of all time right there.

Very much in agreement with everybody here who praised Master Of None, only three episodes in but I am really loving it so far. Last night watched the bizarre spectacle of The Cricket All Stars first T20 game from Citi Field in New York (I hadn't realized that Shea Stadium had been knocked down). The once beautiful…

Was exactly what your sister and I thought of when we read the question. She had bug's faces after that Spongebob episode and, of course, Coraline.

Is your story called 19 Ways To Say I Love You? If so I read it and thought it was lovely.

Obabakoak by Bernardo Atxaga who, if you couldn't guess by the name, is a writer from the Basque country and indeed this book is one of only a hundred or so books originally written in the Basque language (or so the blurb tells me). Anyway none of that really matters because I'm reading it and loving it very much in…
