''Details of the trial could not be reported until a court order was lifted on Friday, after Parslow pleaded guilty to an unconnected sexual offence and two charges under the Malicious Communications Act'' Why wasn't Tommeh protesting outside court about being unable to ''report'' about this case?

I was in Phuket in April this year, and yes there are plenty of Russians, but that's generally always been the case for Thailand. Some shops/restaurants will have signs written in English as well as Russian, but they didn't cause us any bother. There's plenty of other nationalities kicking about...

I'm going Tallinn on Friday for the weekend First time to Estonia and the last of the 'Baltic Trilogy'; did Vilnius/Kaunas at Easter 2024 and Riga at Easter 2023. By all accounts it's a beautiful and well preserved city, should be good, and scoped out some decent bars for the game on Saturday.

There was a Turkish film called Uzak I remember watching many years ago, released around the turn of this century. Nothing much happens in it, but it's fucking bleak and grim. The winter setting in Istanbul really captures the mood of the film; it won loads of awards but it's definitely not some...

Paul Banks is an absolute monster on guitar, so underrated. I must have seen them about 25 times since they reformed back in 2007, mostly recently at their/my hometown gigs in the Museum Gardens in York. They never fail to put on an amazing show; always sound note perfect and Rick is quite the...

Bloody hell, give it a fucking rest. Young kids have been murdered and you're blurting out shite like that (and other posts) Halfmist? More like half a fucking brain. ------------------------- Such a grim situation, absolutely awful for all involved. Not sure how you ever recover from...

Just watching some of the video back again... The ''stamp'' suspect is left completely unattended for at least a few seconds (I counted roughly 10) whilst the officer goes to deal with the ''sitting suspect''. It's only once the ''sitting'' suspect is then taken to the floor and apprehended...

You're obviously, with your background, someone who knows more than most about situations of this kind. Does the fact that the officer doesn't go to cuff the prone suspect after the kick/stamp potentially work against him from a legal/criminal perspective? I appreciate there is the other...

There is a lot of missing information and context, so it's difficult to grasp the immediate severity of the situation. In isolation, I don't think the video looks good for that particular officer. The kick to the face is poor, but the stamp on the head is particularly dangerous. I've no doubt...

Enoch Powell picture with some bollocks caption about trying to warn us all. Always surprises me how some people are seemingly very happy to out themselves as a bigoted wanker.....bizarre behaviour.

I mean if the cap fits, then.....you know.... It's a complex issue that doesn't necessarily have an easy solution, but I do know the Tories have fucked it for the last 14 years, making simpletons (again, if the cap fits....) believe the relatively few people arriving via boat are the source of...

Almost got a line up on my Farage bingo card. Just needed ''thEy SHouLd StOP iN thE FiRSt sAFe cOunTrY''

Quincy Hotel by any chance? Though I think a few hotels in Singapore offer the all day snacks type thing. Has anyone mentioned 4 floors of whores yet?

You think Farage is ''brilliant''? Have you been kicked in the head by a horse or something?

Going Killarney for the weekend tomorrow morning. Though I'm flying out of Birmingham, so it's 50/50 I'll make the flight in time. Not been to Ireland for many years, very much looking forward to it.

As if you'd pay £100 to attend such a horseshit event surrounded by lunatics and dickheads.

Kalamaki in Zante might work for you. Nice sandy beach, plenty of bars and restaurants but not super lively (that scene is Laganas in the next resort along) Quick transfer from the airport too. Lots of boat trips available (famous for turtles), trips to Zante Town etc if you want to get out and...

If you've got 2 weeks in Bali, would definitely split it with time at the beach and time in Ubud. I found Ubud to be fascinating, and much more chill and laid back than some of the beach resorts. If you can get a hotel within walking distance of central Ubud this will save you plenty of time and...

Loved both bands when I was younger. Probably appreciate AIC now I'm a bit older. Nutshell on MTV unplugged is unreal.

I've, unfortunately, seen the video and the poor bloke didn't stand a chance. The speed of the collision coupled with what appears to be a full blade/boot impact into the neck....it's brutal. I imagine even just a nick on the neck could be fatal, but this was way worse than that, sadly. How he...
