England beat the AB's last year and did so playing some pretty good looking rugby, I'd be lying if I didn't say I was intrigued by what they will offer up. I always cheer for Wales, too - my 3rd favourite team after New Zealand and France.

That's always gutting when they do that in a travelogue, especially when you have to wait forever for them to get to you (given the clockwise-ish route he's taking, I figure Ohio will be at the back end).

Yeah I lost $5 betting on him against McCain with a friend in the '08 primaries. Glad to lose though, watching what unfolded last year.

Really? Because it was Mitt Romney on the stump in the first episode, I just assumed it dated from 2012 but was this from 08?

He gets a free trip though! Kid's pretty young though yeah? He'll be in the team sooner rather than later.

Wow Sean, you've made the point I was aiming for far more articulately than I could!!

And now I'm lying here I've had too much booze
I've been shat on and spat on and raped and abused
I know that I am dying and I wish I could beg
For some money to take me from the old main drag

That Cruden - Savea try was a thing of beauty. RE: Ben Smith, this is why we can't have nice fullbacks/wings - why do we always decide they need to play in the midfield too? Has that conversion ever worked beyond Nonu and Umaga?

Really happy to hear people expressing the same misgivings I have about the show - the most egregious Mad Men-ism came last week with the montage ending of the episode being a near-facsimile of Signal 30.
I'll stick with it, mostly because I adore Michael Sheen and Lizzie Caplan though if there is no significant growth…

Can anyone beat that? Anyone at all? Shut it down, folks…

Tellingly, the mid-album tracks (well, 6 - 10) are the only ones not produced by Kanye or Pharrell. the-dream and Hudson Mohawke are hardly just any geeks of the street but I definitely agree that those tracks lack some energy that Nosestalgia brings back in spades - Kendrick Lamar is having one hell of a year for…

Wow, I've never heard anyone argue that the Bechdel test wasn't flawed, that's quite something… I mean, it's an interesting idea and there is a lot of truth inherent in it's sentiment but it's far too reductive to be particularly effective as a general rule.

I'm so excited about Toast of London, I want nothing more in my life than to have him and Richard Ayoade as my two best friends.

Definitely take the internship… it's an adventure!!!

Oh man, Gravity was a visceral film. I found myself wishing I had taken a Xanax or something before I went because it made me anxious as fuck

Words cannot express my jealousy of your Janelle Monae experience. I've got my fingers crossed for an Australian show ASAP.

Had a pretty quiet weekend following several doctor’s visits for my bout of tonsillitis (thanks to everyone for their well-wishes!) and buying my ticket for Neutral Milk Hotel next month (fulfilling a dream over a decade old which I assumed would never come true) during the week leaving me flat broke, meaning lots of…

Genesis P Orridge is aware at least, he did an excellent remix of one of the tracks from the new album: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fy8…

I don't know what is sadder, these news anchors for doing this or me for reading about it and trying to watch the video, only to be disappointed when it wasn't available in my country.

My dad is a staunch Lennon loyalist with a slight taste for Harrison so my McCartney partisanism has never gone down well between us.
