I wasn't, I think my first time at a Gateshead event would have been the Europa Cup (as was) in 1989, which wouldn't have featured Daley anyway. Complex character I agree, he's never seemed happy playing the game, which may be to his credit even if it's meant a few mis-steps along the way. Even the T-shirt I can understand to an extent in the context of what must have been a ridiculously disproportionate media focus on Lewis above everyone else at the Los Angeles games. I mean, Lewis didn't have a wrist-busting ZX Spectrum game named after him, did he?

If anything's going to tempt me off the wagon...

CT, you're back! And your cooking skills have improved!

He knows exactly what he's doing. Surely he does. This is a giant Dadaist prank and we're all falling for it.

That's arguably as much of a problem in many respects, it reframes the term "human rights" in the mind of impressionable/thick people as something to be wary of/sneered at, and all because the Tories are having a bit of a panic attack because of a defection or two. (Well, that and the fact that the UKIP vote will cost them the next election, which I suppose is more understandable. )
