Trying to stay sane in an increasingly mad world. Light relief offered by Leyton Orient.
Shocking!

It's obviously Orient. It's unique.

Yeah, that's true! The game was epitomised by Caprice being sent off near the end and already being halfway down the tunnel by the time the referee had managed to get his red card out. I miss trips to Plainmoor.

I thought it couldn't get much worse than the previous game at Torquay.

Am I reading that correctly - £19,000 cost for the flight to the US?

Perhaps it's just me, but I really enjoyed these when they first went out.

Yeah, agree. It just felt a strange notion, that reforming can't be improving/investing, just reducing spend.

I paraphrase, but the original question was when we'll see welfare reform. When Darren Jones listed examples of reform in the budget, including the removal of the two child cap, it was made clear the reference to reform really meant overall cuts. Surely policy reform isn't restricted to cuts?

If I was in London next weekend I'd have been tempted. We had a similar trail across south Wales a few years ago. If you go ahead, enjoy!

Sorry to hear this. Best wishes and take care.

Nice! Was hoping this would happen!

The best I could find without a subscription was a half hour package on BBC iPlayer. Sure it's been longer in the past.

Given it chooses a new town, I'm just relieved it wasn't Harlow (I was born there).

Currently bright and sunny, albeit chilly, here in south Wales. Sorry!

Yep. I went to the away game Milan, which was interesting. I confidently predicted that with Inzaghi upfront Wales need not worry, before the inevitable second half hat-trick.

The campaign that ended with play-off defeat to Russia was very enjoyable, despite not quite qualifying. Was it 2004? Victory over Italy that campaign was probably a highlight.
