    6 Nations 2019

    England were simply superb against the Irish. Best performance I've seen from a Northern Hemisphere team in a long time. And they kept it going for the whole game. It's not that Ireland played badly, they weren't allowed to play by the speed of England's defence. Murray and Sexton were made to...

    Six Nations 2018

    I remember Townsend as a player. Occasionally sublime, usually ok, sometimes utterly woeful. Looks like his coaching career may go the same way. Against Wales, everything that could go wrong did go wrong: Harris and McGuigan were lambs to the slaughter. Price and Russell clearly on mind-altering...

    6 Nations

    Hogg will end up at a big English or French club and, hopefully, will become a better player as a result. If he gets offer 5x the money he gets at Glasgow to leave then he should jump at the chance. Home nations are blessed with so many talented backs just now. Mike Brown is a quality act as is...

    I'm developing a golf analysis tool

    Sam, Good luck in your ventures. You'll need it because the competition is fierce and there are some great products out there. Forget about doing this to make any money, it ain't gonna happen in today's market. We launched 3 products (all Windows-only) between 2001 and 2007: all were...

    Oh No!! Not the 'I' Word again.

    Radio 4 programme "More Or Less" investigated the 8 million figure. 3 million of the 8million were British citizens (such as Boris Johnson, Bradley Wiggins) who were born outwith the UK. So the actual figure is 5 million.

    The Apprentice

    The entire programme has several flaws: The house phone goes at 5:30am and the message is "The cars will pick you up in 20 minutes". No way up to 20 people (some of whom are women and may take slightly longer...) are going to get up, fed, showered, dressed etc in 20 minutes. Not a chance. If...

    Boxing: Abraham v. Smith. What a joke.

    It was a great effort by Smith and I feel for him being on the end of a ludicrous result. Abraham was flashier and more skilled in small bursts but Smith just kept going and his work rate was fantastic. He had a real steely look in his eyes throughout the fight and was clearly in better shape...

    Celtic - lucky or not!

    Conspiracy theories? These only exist in the minds of deranged East Coasters. I was in Paisley that day and can confirm that no brown enevlopes travelled from the East End of Glasgow to God's Own Country of Paisley...

    Commonwealth Games 2014

    We've really enjoyed it. Opening ceremony was bit sh*t and a bit great, much like Glasgow. Swimming has been great, as had the Judo and the Hockey. Great to see England playing Jerusalem at medal ceremonies, one of the best tunes ever written. Just glad that neither Salmond nor Cameron has...

    What have you won?

    1993: Won a year's supply of crisps. Unfortunately only one flavour allowed so we picked Tomato Sauce flavour (why?) Every month, a big box of 48 packets arrived. Sick of them after 2 months. Then, Golden Wonder had a promo so the box capacity went up to 60. Packets everywhere. Ended up giving...

    Eurovision Song Contest

    +1. Any of us who say that we have a "wide range of musical taste" probably achieve 2% of the span of Peel's taste. The man is a legend, irreplacable and sadly missed.

    Most iconic song ever?

    There is too many to choose from! "Time we left this world today" would sound great on Radio 2 at 6pm drivetime. Ejection or the Right Stuff from Capt. Lockheed also in the running?

    Most iconic song ever?

    Would have to be Masters of the Universe (Live) from Space Ritual, surely?
