Picture Quiz: Classic horror movies
(Preview)
Right. After the less than enthusiastic response to the Week 3 Caption Competition here's a change of tack. Name the film. If you don't wish to partake that's fine. These comps are about me not you lot and give me something to do until the pub opens. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Not Missed sky sports for one second
(Preview)
since I cancelled it 3 months ago. Big sports fan and was very unsure about the decision but resented the ever increasing price. I finally did it, was not swayed by the offers to keep me and I can honestly say that I have not missed it at all. Anyone thinking about it?...do it! Only voting with our feet will...

Exeter get yer finger out!
(Preview)
Towdlad seems to have joined the list of the Banter missing. A very nice bloke and efforts should be made to check on him. Might I remind our esteemed moderator of Oscar Wylde's maxim; "To lose one member may be misfortune; to lose several seems like carelessness."

Idea for fund raising / winning some cash
(Preview)
Robbed this from the Steelers, who do a 50/50 draw. Is anyone interested in getting a group together on a Saturday, putting together and sticking a quid each on 5 match ac***ulators for the Championship? W, L or D. We could even use someone like Ladbrokes who do money back as a free bet if you get 1 wrong W...

TB or not TB
(Preview)
London apparently has the highest incidence of TB of any Western capital and some London Boroughs have higher levels than Rwanda, Eritrea and Iraq. The highest incidence is in Newham which also has the highest incidence of residents born outside Britain. These facts are in no way related.

Caption Competition Week 3
(Preview)
Not everyone's cup of tea I know and some people quite reasonably think less is more and we should stick to serious Rotherham United threads. My view is that if just one member gets some pleasure from thinking about a topic, however daft, then it's better than nothing. I may of course be wrong. But he...

If a billionaire new owner
(Preview)
Wanted to change the team's colours would you go along with it? After all we were not always red and white and the Arsenal strip dates only from 1948. In fact I have long sought to discover the cir***stances of the adoption of the red and white in 1928 and whether this was controversial at the time. It ap...

I am, however, a pub standard singer who has never earned (or deserved to earn) a penny from that trade. I have watched Wes Brown all his career and he is a pub footballer who has become a multi-mill...

Tax Credits Fiasco
(Preview)
The Tories had their plans kicked into the long grass by the Lords last night. I am no fan of the existence of the Lords but if they are going to stand for anything then protecting the most vulnerable in society as they come under direct attack is a decent place to start. Even Tory peers (eg Nigel Lawson) we...

If you thought the Tories were Scrooges think again. That's only if you're hard-working, low paid families. If you want to get £millions off them here's what you do. Set up a charity with a catchy name. Locate it in London and other high profile places. Don't employ a boring white bloke as frontma...

Preppers

I was just reading about these people. I knew that the US had them but apparently we have a few as well. They have Ridgeway-like shelters and survival kits and escape plans in place in case they need to 'bug out' (move undetected to a pre-determined safer location where no-one would find them). They are...

Don’t Panic But A Huge Black Mark Has Appeared in The Sun

A vast ‘hole’ has appeared in the sun - a black mark the size of 50 Earths, which is spewing out particles towards our planet. Don’t worry, though - while it looks terrifying in this ultraviolet image taken by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, it won’t harm us. At worst, the coronal hole, which materi...

Andy Monium: worried about Sickly

I've seen it happen before with the Antipodes: something to do with being upside down. Sickly has started replying to his own posts: six times on one thread. In the middle of the night too. It may be the demon drink of course. I think a Banter whip round may be needed to send me out there to bring the poo...
