Happy Birthday, 95 today to Scottish comedian Stanley Baxter

Baily Hodgson: “Newcastle is on the verge of debuting the nephew of Canberra hooker Josh Hodgson. The club has written 18-year-old Baily Hodgsonhas recovered from pre-season knee surgery and is now ready for selection. He is a fullback or can line up in the centres”.

A good quality and close fight despite Bayless’s best attempts to totally spoil it with a bizarre performance , as well as letting Ramirez recover with very long counts

Certainly the case. Technically, Eurovision is a song contest, not a performer or presentation contest. But the voting fans really don't give a toss and will reward the most entertaining entry, for whatever reason. Even if it's a bit hokey, like the (rather gorgeous) Greek girl's green-screened backing dancers, which looked almost like a retro affectation. Just letting the music speak for itself only works when you have a song that genuinely grabs people on its own merits. Salvador Sobral pulled off that for Portugal a few years ago, but he's the recent exception to the rule.

I think a key area we get wrong every time - regardless of how good or bad the song is - is the staging. Compare the British entry in any recent year to literally any other performance in the final and we are light years behind. The same was true last night.

I can't speak for round where you live of course but round here people often do that if someone in the vicinity has been having a noisy party into the early hours of the morning. A few years back a less than reputable family moved in a couple of doors down. They had a ridiculously noisy party one night, finally shutting up about 3 in the morning so I decided the grass needed cutting at 7am. When I went outside I could already hear 2 other lawnmowers and someone drilling.

The following is the text I've seen re the situation. I don't see how this intimates what you are suggesting. Head Coach Shaun Wane explains: “I keep a very close eye on the NRL and enjoy regular contact with the England squad players Down Under. The players know the standards expected of them as England players. Herbie’s standards have dipped below what I expect. It’s as simple as that.” If Farnworth does see himself as an Aussie, then I hope the love-in on this thread dies back. He's good and has lots of potential, don't get me wrong
