What’s worse; British Tennis or British Cricket 

Cricket is a fake sport enjoyed only by the English and places England has colonised. And they're bad at it. I don't think this answers the question but it's worth pointing out.

The oldest Scottish Cricket club was formed in the 1820s (Kelso).

A lot of Scottish football clubs were formed when cricketers looked for something to do in the winter.

I wouldn't see Annabel Croft stuck but Gabi Sabbatini still looks hot..

You might be right, but not THIS planet.

A stroll along the Portobello prom when the beach volleyball is on would disabuse you of your opinion, and I'm not even saying that volleyball is the best sport on the planet.

Anyone know a way to search for films by runtime and UK certificate? There's a mystery film on tonight, and that's the only info available. Don't fancy dragging myself out and getting stuck in a showing of some shite romcom.

The IMDb is useless, as their runtimes are all for the US and are different to the UK, and the BBFC have crippled their search functionality.

If it’s 1+54 and a 12A, skip it.

Was just thinking about the Gremlins films and something occurred to me for the first time: how exactly did twentysomething Billy end up hanging about with tween Corey Feldman? I don't think it's ever mentioned if he babysat him, or their families are friends, or what.

Might raise a few questions now if your 12 year old disappeared to the local bank teller's house for extended periods in his bedroom.

When it comes to non-ISA savings accounts, do basic rate and higher rate taxpayers lose 20% and 42% of their interest gain, respectively?

*assuming that the interest gained doesn't push them into the next tax band.

There's a personal savings allowance: basic rate payers get up to £1000, higher £500 and additional rate gets no allowance. After you've used the allowance, you're taxed on anything over at the relevant rate.

How do you feel about the nine-dash line?
