    A looker too. The ladies all sang I'm in heaven when you smile, when you smile. Unless I'm mistaken.

    Umm. I'd find this denial a tad more convincing if Robin was there to show his support. But he's not... It appears that Robin ran away.

    MOTM Millwall (A)

    Five points for first choice, three for second, one for third. Joseph 171 Belloumi 109 Pandur 45 Slater 24 Hughes 10 Crooks 5 Millar 3 Ajayi 1 McBurnie 1 Not often that Kyle bothers the top echelons of the MOTM places so it's nice to see him as the runaway winner. Job now is to keep the...

    You can buy citrus vodka but it's no doubt chemically enhanced and hasn't been anywhere near a lemon or a lime. It's a piece of piss to make your own. Vodka + peel (avoid the pith it's too bitter) + a small amount of sugar. Leave it for a week then strain. Top tip: Keep it in the freezer...

    Lol. I remember making this exact point to a humourless network technician who was installing new computers for us over 25 years ago. Completely didn't get the joke and looked at me as if I was a complete idiot. One of many over the years to be honest.

    Wow. Just watched that. What a dignified, considered and well articulated response. Hope that all individuals and groups she criticizes take note.
