Not when you have a job where you're on air or a job when you're on your feet the whole time :(

I hate you both.
When you've spent the past 9 months reading 200-300 journal articles and book chapters, studying, attending lectures, conducting/analysing research and writing a thesis, pretty much everything else counts as hibernation. :p

I'd love to go back in time and kill the TV executives that decided we need commentary with sport.

Mark Taylor, Ian Healy and James Brayshaw are ruining cricket for me.

Stop explaining the rules, stop jumping the gun, stop telling me exactly what I'm seeing and stop destroying the meaning of the words outstanding and extraordinary, you unbelievable thundercampaigners.

Chuck on 774, much better. Dirk Nannes has been great.

I'm hoping my someone on here may be able to help a fellow bulldog.

I'm travling to the UK in January and hoping to see an EPL game on 2/1/16, particularly Arsenal v Newcastle.

There seems to be so many rogue vendors online, is anyone able to shed light on the best way to get tickets?

Has anyone else seen the James Bond film, Spectre yet?
Massive Bond fan here, but that film was atrocious
Yep, I'm also a Bond fan. Thought the story for Spectre was pretty dull, plus it was way too long. If it had been condensed a little that may have helped.

I've also enjoyed most of Christoph Waltz' characters in other films, but he really missed the mark as a Bond villain. This may have had more to do with the script/screenplay than his efforts in portraying the character though.

Christoph Waltz had nothing to work with, that character was for the most part horrendously written

he was at his best in this film when he had just a few brief words; the whole long winded speeches was cliched & too predictable

didn't help that it had one of the worst endings to a Bond film that I've ever seen, I thought that Die Another Day was the worst that I'd ever see in cinema
but Spectre just edges it out as the absolute worst

Have you contacted the club directly? Arsenal games rarely sell out, crown figures are fudged to include season ticket holders that may not attend so buying a resale ticket (if they do that like most other major sports) would probably be a good option. Always gotta doubt third party sellers because someone is getting a cut somewhere as well, plus the chance you could be buying a fake/getting scammed altogether

Should've turned heel on Ambrose.

Seriously,they're trying to square hole-round peg Roman by recreating Daniel Bryan. You know, despite Bryan is a scrawny dude that makes you feel like the E legit didn't want him to succeed while Roman is a 260 pound guy who has recieved an obvious nepotism push that has already been rejected once.

Bryan is also the best in ring performer since Benoit and Roman...well isn't.
A guy with his size and look screams cocky monster heel champion. I think he'd get so over as that the people would turn him face by the middle of next year. But the WWE are too scared to take a risk so they're Cenaing him down our throats.

It's a shame as Roman is actually pretty good and talented and even worse Seamus is now champion and nobody wants that.
