Just remember people - if your train/tube is delayed by 15 minutes or more, you can claim the cost of the single (cash) fare back again. And if you use an Oystercard, you effectively make a profit.

I mean, I’m reluctant for this whole debate to become tied up with a recent “too much swearing at football matches” issue that came up on the Today programme recently. I certainly have no problem with footballers saying “fuck” on the pitch a lot. Even a bit of banter with the ref doesn’t do any harm, but this was an aggressive, finger-pointing way of saying “fuck off”, not banter, and that should always be punished.

Good that you reminded me about the captain, too… as a club, Liverpool must take some responsibility for the fact that Mascherano wasn’t (a) better controlled by Steven Gerrard, or (b) substituted after the first booking, as is perfectly normal when a player has clearly got out of bed the wrong side!

It reminded me of the “oxygen-free” RCA cables gathering dust in the loft I bought about 10 years ago … for £40! Y’know, I was convinced I could tell the difference between those and my cheapo’s.

It was only the above experience that prevented me from instantly replacing the “bell-wire” that came with my home theatre system at Christmas. It sounds really good anyway … for godsake, just leave it :)

I often think people like these should be taken to a substation I used to know, and told to put their hands on two contacts. That would teach them a thing or two about “polarisation of electricity”. My Arse.
