  1. You listened to Pod Wars (The pod olympics) yet. I was creased for the rap battle.
  2. Indeed. Greewald wrote about this over a year ago as Poitras herself was being detained whenever she travelled... http://www.salon.com/2012/04/08/u_s_filmmaker_repeatedly_detained_at_border/ The positive thing is that while that was a little seen article in an online magazine that garnered little attention, this time it's front page news due to the enormity of the stories Greenwald has broken. The other positive is that even people that were defending the NSA and the secrecy which governments were working under are now railing against the abuses of power... http://dish.andrewsullivan.com/2013/08/18/cameron-proves-greenwald-right/

  4. Kermode - film reviews. Even though I don't watch films anymore, it's still good. Couple of hours a week. NPR All songs Considered - They cover world, folk, classic, latin, electronic, rap, rock, indie, alt...everything. Their weekly music review is great for new releases, but hey come into their own when sxsw roles around, they stream dozens of live shows in their entirity. Half an hour a week. Common Sense with Dan Carlin - Independent news commentary that ignores party politics. About an hour a week. He does hardcore history too which looks at everything from Ghengis Khan through the Romans to WW2. Less regular, you might get one topic every few months, but he does hours and hours on a topic when he does it. Like a free audiobook. Danny Baker - The best football podcast because it's not about football. The sausage sandwich game is sooo played out by now though. Real Time with Bill Maher - a more party political show. Supposedly HBO's impartial news/comedy show, Maher is making me more annoyed every week with his dedication to the dear leader. He donated a million to the cause but still claims impartiality. I still listen for the odd occasion when they have someone on to talk the truth, like Glenn Greenwald or that Black Dude with the crazy hair and teeth. Tell em Steve Dave - I stopped listening to Kevin Smith ages ago, but his buddy Walt Flanagan is probably my favourite podcaster. Advise listening from the start because I imagine the in jokes and references are nonsensical to a newbie.

  6. He looked like he'd lost weight on the day Remy signed. Not so much there.

Top tactician.
  9. Me neither, I looked in a thesaurus for "conceit" and hoyed in the result I didn't know. It's what Gene would want
  10. He could be canny, if his persona wasn't shrouded in amour-propre.
  11. Aw, bless. When I was a child at games i used to try and make deals with god. "Please let us score and I will do my homework rather than play on the computer".
  12. We don't have to believe shit. Stranger things have happened though.

  14. Tonked four nowt by bottom place Coventry
  15. ark at him. Costco meat is lush. Do a Google of it. Gets raves wherever you look. It's cheap only because it's bought in bulk.
  16. I bought Mrs HF one full price from Fenwick's when we started courting. That was all show though. Now I own her she gets them cheap from boundary mills or she gets nowt.
  17. Not quite, but I'd kick myself if it happened now, so...
  18. My mother never fed us red meat. Always telling me not to touch it because bowel cancer runs in the family. ...I do love a bloody streak though.
  19. That's the problem with radio. Difficult for them to present graphics. So no pie.
  20. Newcastle to win one nothing. Mbiwa to score.
