    Am I missing something here...?? What is she thinking...?? Why would you post a scene of yourself peeing all over a flag, let alone the 'Stars n Stripes' where you just know that things will come back to haunt you...

    What is this world coming to...??

    The 3 Yorkshire players have scored 150 of England's 178 runs ......................... wish they were playing for Yorkshire rather than England <doh> the amount of county cricket that Root and Bairstow have played this season is a joke.

    That's where Yorkshire players belong, in the England team.

    Yours sincerely,

    Don't get all the moaning at the BBC over wages. If your agent/yourself negotiates a bad deal then I applaud the BBC for getting you on the cheap. Nothing to do with gender either.

    Still the greatest in my eye red - in a sport where everyone bends the rules (and did even more so in his day) to do what he did was incredible, especially when you conisder his fight against cancer. His performances were enhanced by the drugs, but the basis was his incredible fitness, drive and motivation. Probably his will to win made him cross the line but there is no doubting he is a superb athlete. Plenty of videos of him on YouTube winning Iron Man and Triathlons and to top all that he raised millions for cancer research through his Livestrong foundation.

    But I think that surge up Luz Ardiden was fuelled purely by adrenalin and anger.
