    London Bridge barriers early in the morning when none of the them are available to exit for Oyster and you have to walk round the back of the station to exit with your Oyster card.

    I hate the transfer gossip column as it is, but when you see bbc reporting this back

    A nine-year-old boy is attracting the attention of Premier League clubs after scoring a wonder goal from the half way line for his local side. (Bristol Post)

    what a load of irrelevant shite.

    They might as well start filling the column with

    A man did 5000 kick ups in a row on a busy street in London, and someone who supported Chelsea filmed it on his mobile. The video has gone viral and apparently Roman Abramovitch saw it and invited the man to meet Antonio Conte and try to repeat the feat at Chelsea's training ground. If the trick is repeated, the man may get a trial

    First time I experienced this was in Turin airport in early 90's. I literally nearly shat myself.

    When you walk past someone you used to work with 3-years ago but dont want to call out to them to say hello because you cant remember their damned name - Did that this morning and either had a choice of calling out Tim or Paul (both of which would have been wrong)

    Or I could have shouted out; "You alright mate"... and it could have been some random who looked like the bloke I used to work with OR it would have been an awkward conversation where I'd have just used the word "mate" instead of his actual name!!

    My daughter told me a way to handle this situation.

    You ask them their name, they say Tim or Paul, you reply, no I meant you surname.

I think 'That's it, so I can take it time is marching on for me and I'm being taken the piss out of by under 10's now? Think I'll retreat for a bovril and a wee lap blanket.'

    Read it a few times and I reckon that's closer to what you meant.

    Always nodding off on the tube just as I pull into Paddington and have to get off. Like clock work, as soon as I hit Marylebone I'll feel myself going.

    There's a simple solution, don't go on social media until you've watched it.

    I disagree with this and find it somewhat annoying in itself. I shouldn't have to avoid spoilers on facebook (not that there are really any from last nights episode)

    A spoiler tag should be added like we have on here.

    See it's not difficult

    Problem is US airs the night before the UK and it is unlikely most UK people stay up til 3 in the morning just to avoid social media spoilers.

    Guardian had a small spoiler on their website today about tonight's episode that irked me.

    I disagree. I can understand it on threads about said show, but certainly not on open social media like Facebook. I'm careful of Twatter cos that is full of *unkind people* that are brutal and ruin everything for everyone, usually intentionally. Yes I have Twitter too.

    People have a right to discuss anything whenever. It's about courtesy. Same reason why people don't post any Premier League scores on here until after MOTD has aired.

    I don't mind Dr Who, it's OK but not a must watch.
    I quite like Jodi Whittaker, good in Black Mirror and Broadchurch.
    However the fact she will be playing the Dr in the next series, next year, is not breaking news. It's non news.
