Apparently the hostage taker is dead and one hostage. Not sure why (unless something comes about, i.e., there doesn't appear to be any bomb etc) a sniper/long range shooter couldn't take him out earlier as with night vision and the dark, you'd imagine they could have gotten pretty close and got...

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/11027010/Minister-quits-because-120000-salary-and-expenses-is-not-enough-to-support-his-family-in-London.html You would hope he would be sacked by Cameron - London is expensive, but it is not that difficult to find a flat for around £2,400 a month not...

Maybe we could have a thread for some of their stories? http://www.theguardian.com/media/greenslade/2014/jul/09/georgeclooney-dailymail Paul Dacre is a seriously sick man. The New Statesman ran a good feature article on him last Xmas...

Surprised at the markets. Germany should be favs with Neymar and Silva playing - without their 2 key players, I'm staggered the market can't split these 2. Argentina should tear this Dutch defence apart. 1.77 to qualify more than fair. Really. Hope the Oranje get a battering too.. :D

As per elsewhere, I am very strong on Colombia, and will back them in 90 mins, to qualify and +1 in Asian handicap. Colombia to win by 2 and 3 at 10s and 28s also of interest. If I could have chosen to have 1 Brazilian player suspended, it would probably have been Luis Gustavo, who has done...

Any thoughts on Argentina - Bosnia? Argentina minus 1 at evens. Over 3.5 6/4 - not sure of this?

Hardly the most inspiring group, to be fair. In the initial matches, Columbia at 10/11 and Ivory Coast at 7/4 appeal. The former should win this group relatively comfortably, the latter may eke out the needed level to see of Japan if Yaya is fit. Anyone with any strong opinions on this group?

http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2014/may/21/prince-charles-vladimir-putin-adolf-hitler What a liability. What do the Brits amongst us make of this/him?

.. in prison. http://www.theguardian.com/books/2014/mar/28/carol-ann-duffy-prison-book-ban-pentonville Vanessa Redgrave's point in the video sums it up well, as does David Hare's Dostoievski's quote. Grayling is laughingly out of touch on this one. I can't see anything positive that can come...

http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2014/feb/26/northern-ireland-government-collapse-hyde-park-bomb-john-downey I don't understand this. I could understand all of the outrage if so many Britons were equally as upset about their soldiers (Heroes, as they are otherwise known) not being prosecuted...

I'm interested in Josses Hill, Vaniteux, MTOY, Oscar Whisky, Hadrians approach and Captain Conan at current odds. Bobs Worth Everything's gone well and he was very good in Ireland in the Lexus. Coming off the back of that it was exactly what we wanted, when we wanted and he's a great...

Has it ever stooped this low? Who reads and shares the opinions of this rag? I have the impression I never got out of London enough when I lived in England.

Any views? Teaforthree stands out, but 4/1 is a crazy price at this stage. He should be bigger on the day. Giles Cross must be worth an each way bet at 11s. 2nd in the last 2 years, he will love the ground and the track and is the ideal horse for this. There may be something unexposed which...

Does anyone know the dates these were published in the RP for the main trainers? Or where I can buy/read these (doesn't have to be RP). Much appreciated, Andrew

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/jun/21/drone-strikes-international-law-un I can't understand how this has been allowed to go along for so long. We are under a press in the West that US = good. I'm glad to see War Crimes being mentioned here because this can't be allowed to continue. As...

I am in Paris and not sure how to watch Cheltenham this week. You can't watch races outside UK&I on Paddy Power, Boyles etc even if placing a bet. Any ideas? I can in theory find an Irish pub and nip out for a bit but it's a little bit away and not 100% sure it'll be on, but can't stay all day...

Novice Hurdle: Tetlami is my idea of getting the Xmas racing off to a great start. He really impressed me at Sandown the last day, making a lovely shape at his hurdles, and finding plenty to win well from 3 useful horses looking like there is more to come. Book'em Danno (IRE) 42...
