We watched Atlantis last night. I'm usually a big supporter of BBC programming but Jason (mythical), Hercules (mythical) and Pythagaros (I'm sure he proved something) in the same programme set in a mythical land? Hercules was the greatest of Greek heroes - this guy needs a serious transformation. Now I am assuming "Jason" is he of Jason and the Argonauts. Do the beeb not know their basic Greek mythology? Theseus slew the Minotaur.This nonsense is aimed at a family audience which will leave a whole bunch of kids with a totally inaccurate view of Greek mythology. Even more worrying my wife is capable of watching Strictly, Atlantis and Casualty. I may take up knitting.

Pythagoras was the right-angled triangle bloke. A-squared plus B-squared = C-squared.

Annie's in Manchester is VERY good. Tasty food (very northern feel, with good fish and chips, an awesome sunday roast and truly excellent choices of pie).

Worth a visit for sure. Pub-food prices in the middle of Manc seem cheap but very nice food. Just watch out for the drinks, mind. 5 of us paid a bill of about £110.

Just been introduced to Trevor. Nice guy (!)

I reckon he'll be back for some one-off gigs. Retirement is very rarely permanent in wrestling!

Would love him to do Mania every yr. Surely that's not beyond him?

I'd have loved to hear his commentary with the current HHH/ORTON/DB storyline. Good luck with the BBQ sauce.

How about this one for the MOM last two games?

"Hark the Blackburn Rovers sing

He's from Norway, he love's his bling

Watch him running down the wing

He's fast as **** , he's name's Josh King"

To the tune of Hark The Herald Angels!

Nice!

Stuart Broad's dad Chris Broad was a feisty beggar too, often in trouble with authorities. He scored 7 Test hundreds - all of them outside 4 of them in Australia. I guess Stuart Broad will be loving this fuss.

i know all about our shameful football violence thanks but we're talking cricket here.

Yeah because that makes violence different......

Au contraire, my dear boy. Sir David on their "feral" crowds, below

Also, read John Snow's account of the 1970 tour (you know, as in "read" his book - those weird things in libraries and bookshops).

No need to be a condescending old fart. Before judging the Aussies I suggest you read up on our history of sporting violence. Comparatively, the Aussies are corgis to out rottweilers.

We're in no position to judge the aussies, Jim.

John Snow was physically attacked by a convict spectator on the 1970 tour. so you're wrong on that one.

Bit different from a riot, like.

They didn't sound sarcastic to me, more an incitement to riot. Appalling comments by a supposed national coach.

Riot? In a sport where a seating area at one of the major venues is called DeathRow due to the age of those who sit there?

Pointless post, ignore.

I honestly can't see what BnWR has said to warrant the response he's had other than a view that jim (etc) don't share.

Ocean Palace at BullHill. A little overpriced and reads like a takeaway menu. But bloody tasty, well-cooked and good service.

Watch out for the drinks, mind.

If too late for their early-birddeals then one portion will be easily shared between 2.

I have to ask WHY is Broad not walking considered cheating? It appears more like waiting for the Umpire to make a decision. Unsportsmanlike, perhaps, but cheating? Unless there's something I'm missing?

England have been accused of "cheating" by an India supporter when it is India that are the biggest cheats in world cricket. You've contributed nothing on here except make silly comments - clear off.

Pointing out your hypocrisy is only silly to you.

Btw, you may want to revise your view that India are the biggest cheats in cricket. They aren't. Indian cricketers are but do these players ever make the India team (which is the point being made)? Nope.

Try again darling.

Amit Yadav: India T20 international, Mohnish Mishra: India U-19 international, Mohammad Azharuddin: India international, TP Sudhindra: IPL player, Ajay Sharma: India international, Manoj Prabhakar: India international, Ajay Jadeja: India international

A list of shame showing the most corrupt nation in world cricket. A list that contains not one England player. Yet you accuse England of being "cheats and hypocrites" with no morals or ethics. You need to take a good look at yourself.

Get off your high horse and stop suggesting people 'should' support particular teams. Take a good look at yourself.

Funny you should mention Lara because I was in Antigua for the match in 1994 when he scored his 375 - and I watched it with a mixture of horror and fascination ! Like Tendulkar, Lara was a beautiful player to watch, technically very correct unlike Richards who played around his front pad alot and relied on his speed of eye to hit the ball.

I love watching batsmen's different techniques, and also bowlers too, but when it comes to Rovers and England I only want us to win which is why I am always watching our players intently and not the opposition so much. Does that make me a proper fan of the game - I think it does. BTW how did you feel by the way when Sri Lanka were pulversing India for 952 in 1997 ?

I understand your support of India but fail to see why you should not support England as your second team against countries other than India - after all, you live and work here. Failure to do so would make you as contemptible as Lord Haw-Haw above, and I think you're capable of showing more class than the likes of him.

What difference does that make? In footy, do you continue to support England while they play a guy who sees fit to shoot people at training? Esp' given your stance on gun ownership.

That's hypocrisy far beyond simply choosing to support a different team.

Or 50% of the actual wrestlers if you happened to be in Montreal, November 1997.

Looking forward to WM next year. Rumour is they're finally having SCSA vs Punk and possibly having a heel Rock (representing Vince) vs HHH for control of the WWE.

I'd love to add Brock into that match with Heyman also wanting control.

Must be good to be a member of the writers' family...

Usually shocking odds, mind. 1/10 or some @#/? like that. There's usually a surprise thrown in if you bet on the 'big' events like WrestleMania or SummerSlam. Potential for a bit of money there.

Quite like doing accumulators on WM tbh. It's a fiver and a bit of fun. As mentioned above though, it's very rare that even 5% of an audience know the outcome of matches.

Bloody hell what a shame :/ RIP big man.

Love it. A sport with plotlines and integrity.

It's not a sport, it's a soap opera

And that Telegraph article is a non-story tbh. Betting companies know the results WWE plan as well as dirtsheet reports occasionally getting things right.

Trolling? I am just answering the questions that I have been asked. They seem to have the problem, not me. I couldn't give a flying monkeys if an Englishman supported India or bloody Uganda for that matter. So I suggest you direct your "note" elsewhere, Tom. Thank you.

Football is full of cheats, we all know that. Cricket isn't and the disgusting likes of Broad are tarnishing the sport.

So playing to the whistle is cheating? What about rugby? What about throwaway challenges in tennis?

Waiting for the umpire/referee to decide is cheating?

How is Broad not walking any different to playing to the whistle in football or rugby?

Nate, just a quick q: what does 'bogan' mean?
