    I think you should apologise, then we can all move on. And the mods can ban you from Est.

    Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.



    May the Lord bless this post.

      It's one of my favourite programmes, very rarely miss a show

      Portillo has mellowed in his old age and Abbot is always good value. They make a good double act. Andrew Neil makes me chuckle too.

      I agree though that at their worst Portillo and Neil can be odious creatures.

            This is a winner.

            And what's so wrong about wanking anyway?

              Rape has many different meanings tho, it is not just used with regards to sexual misdemeanour

              verb (used with object)
              6. to force to have sexual intercourse.
              7. to plunder (a place); despoil.
              8. to seize, take, or carry off by force.

              So Pardew was legitimately using the word, not a problem.

                I thought about doing that but I couldn't be more pedantic than NY. That's impossible.

                  Sometimes I can just about take it but generally I find it comes close to being the very definition of smug.

                    Mmmm I think its more self depreciating than smug. That's why I enjoy it so much, none of them take themselves very seriously on it. At least, that's my take on it.

                      It wasn't quite as heroic as Carlton Palmer's 'Holocaust' punditry, mind.

                        I find Andrew Neil obnoxious to say the least. He's one of those people who overestimates his importance.
