Paul Weller Deluxe EditionPaul Weller 10:15am on 11 Nov 2009 Paul Weller has always set his own standards, and high ones at that. Even the most die hard fans will have an album or phase that they disliked. But he has written more anthems for a generation than any 70/80's UK artist that I can remember. My personal favourite in this album - Above the Clouds a track to lose yourself in. The man is a music legend...
The thrill is gone 1:04pm on 09 Nov 2009 Is cricket losing its soul? No but most of the administrators have souled! At domestic club level we try our best to keep it going...

The ECB & ICC calendars agreed with sponsors are already laid out until 2011+ so the overload will continue and the Bangladesh series will give an insight into the way forward. Who will pay to see Eng v Bangladesh who in terms of spirit deserve international support for their future development.

Personally watching the women's game is as close to the spirit of cricket as we can come. Some more competition between teams and not the huge money grabbing programme + sponsors keep it and the players well grounded...
The Treasury hedge fund 09:40am on 04 Nov 2009 We increase our buy in to RBS and retain our stake in TSB.

BUT then we create 3 competitors how is this going to end up as a good bet when disgruntled customers from these two banking dinosaurs leave in their droves....
Caption Competition 4:04pm on 29 Oct 2009 Death Penalty for Drivers who don't pay their congestion charge!
Caption Competition 4:46pm on 22 Oct 2009 Yellow balloons and the Man from Delmonte look are so last year darling!
Priced out of Olympic sport? 12:43pm on 21 Oct 2009 Ollie looks like you were ahead of the game on this subject now the UK is talking about downsizing the home team!

May I suggest to the BBC Sports editor that this is a can of worms of national proportions and one worth pursuing in the public interest.
Benitez faces biggest test 09:11am on 21 Oct 2009 Owen could come back to haunt Anfield and Rafa this weekend.
Priced out of Olympic sport? 3:41pm on 20 Oct 2009 Good blog on a problem that faces all parents who want their children to witness live sport. But this was held at an international venue run by a PLC with shareholders.

BUT maybe the BBC should take this further in the run-up to 2012.

1. Who will be pricing the 2012 tickets?
2. Who will be selling them, they must've allocated the ticketing contract by now.
3. What commission and additional ticket delivery fees are to be applied?

As an Olympic & publicly funded event these problems should be avoided.

But then there is always the GRAVY train...
Caption Competition 2:25pm on 08 Oct 2009 New uniform for match officials designed by Sir Alex Ferguson go through final trials.
Trophy ends in blazer of glory 11:25am on 06 Oct 2009 Ponting - 'Wake me up when this fashion nightmare ends mate'

Green, Gold and Cream - Lillee & Thomson must've been laughing their heads off - Camp Australia!
