To paraphrase the words of TV newscaster Kent Brockman on The Simpsons "I for one welcome our new overlord Graham Potter"

Thought that was just weights

Next jolly wheeze from the Tories could be getting rid of decimalization and going back to pounds, shillings and pence

Wasn't there an episode of Yes Minister where Hacker came up with a similar wheeze and the Army didn't want them saying they would be a pot smoking disorganised rabble - so no change there then

Invasion of the body snatchers ending - very chilling, the studio wanted something less bleak

I remember when the old toll bridge took all the traffic on the A27 - happy days

Best Guardian readers comment : "Tory plants are easy to spot, just look for someone with a face dying for a good slap"

It really is unbelievable this complete nobody ever qualified to be Prime Minister. The pouring rain, the Wales own goal and the obvious Tory plants in the audience .........or perhaps it is a cunning plan to make us feel sorry for him. The average local councillor on the hustings prepares and...

I was living in New York when it got hit by Hurricane Sandy and half of Manhattan was without power for several days. Everybody helped each other out and things were OK but I did wonder what might have happened if that period without power had been extended just how long it would have been...

I was hoping Rangers were going to go through 4-0 as they did in the previous round - predicting they will win next game and go through 4-1

Like the never ending rail strikes it's just become one more thing that the long suffering public has to put up with from this clueless government. It won't change until this government is sent packing because they know they can simply get away with it as they have for 14 years

I loved living in the States but the tipping culture drove me mad - the bar staff, taxi drivers, hair dresser etc the lists goes on and on. In NYC the expected tipping level was about 20% and after a while I just got used to it but, as others have said, it was really Employers using us as a...

The 60s and 70s were a really good period for great TV themes - Persuaders, The Prisoner, The Avengers, Man in a Suitcase, Van der Valk etc and not forgetting this one - just the right mix of cool and spooky and this one for those of a certain age

Really like the 'white on black' and 'black on white' effect
