Because they don't burn out of control and there's not much in a stadium that will be set light to by the fire from a flare. It's the same reason that people don't burn themselves alive in massive stadium conflagrations when lighting cigarettes (exception: Bradford City). I've been on the wrong end of a few of those…

Should be called Don Rushing amiritefolks?

I really wish I could find the 70s newspaper typo about a football match in England which included a player who "attempted a shit from 25 yards but missed badly".

There's nothing wrong with being a human wankstain either. So welcome aboard, you human wankstain you.

"You wanted to be treated as an employee? Fine."

You know, I'd never noticed before that Jack Nicholson's Joker was backed by the Pet Shop Boys.

Holy fucking shit that's incredible. John Rocker didn't say he would "of" slit your throat in basic training.

I once met Jack White in a bar in London. I asked if he followed the Tigers. He said he wasn't really interested in baseball, not since he was a kid. They say never meet your heroes, but as Jack White isn't one of my heroes I can't really vouch for the veracity of that.

I was unaware of these facts. Thank you for bringing them to my attention. I have changed my views on this subject as a result.

I'll do this again. There is no such newspaper as "The Times of London" There is a newspaper called "The Times", which is based in London.

Sorry to be a pedant, but "The Times of London" doesn't exist. It's "The Times". If you have to be precise, "The Times" of London.

Well I was in Australia when the recent NBA play offs was on and I can honestly say the coverage of Mills was, at most, a passing "oh, hey, there's an Australian guy who's just won the NBA". I'd guess that roughly 20% of the population could pick the guy out of a lineup, though TBF it would have been about 0.3% pre…

Don't take this the wrong way, but as someone who lives in Australia (not an Australian) I can tell you with all honesty that virtually no-one gives a fuck about basketball here. If there was an American who was a solid squad player on the Australian rules champions and then video bombed a camera crew outside the…

"US soccer fans' six-month wait for world cup triumph continues." Tragic.

It's good to see the US embracing soccer by being equally cuntish about it as your spiritual forefathers in the UK. Go you.

I guess the point is that he could have said something like "yeah I saw it - it was pretty funny". Or even "yeah I saw it - pretty funny, but I don't think Yadi has much to worry about". Instead of being all po faced about it.

Amused by the idea that longer segments is the product of fewer staff. That's totally how journalism works: get rid of journalists, produce more in-depth content.

If you're over 15 years old you ought to be embarrassed.

I'm not American, but is it ok if I had a wank while thinking about Ronald Reagan?

Indeed. "Comedian" in this case = "semi-professional show-off".
