Andy Monium: help needed.
(Preview)
Andy, my wife and her sister are driving me nuts and so I am asking Banter's own Solomon for a judgement. My wife reckons you've never been sexier than as HH; Her sister prefers you in your Oscar winning role in Thunderbirds; I'm sure you get lots of female fan mail for both but which gets the most?

Where's Sickly

First Kevin, then Kempo, now Sickly. This place is getting like the Marie Celeste. I only hope he's not been savaged by a New Zealand Weta.

Beasts of No Nation - film
(Preview)
Watched this last night. Powerful, disturbing stuff and a must-watch. Similar theme to Tears of the Sun but without the Hollywood essentials of big-hearted beautiful bimbo doctor and heroic US Special Forces saving the day. What you get from Beasts probably depends on your outlook. For me it co...

Football Ticket Pricing
(Preview)
There is widespread coverage today of the annual report on the cost of watching football. We all know that clubs exploit supporters in all sorts of ways, and the arguments about replica kits as well as affordability of matchday tickets are well rehearsed. The club most often criticised is Arsen...

Towdlad: Robot Archie
(Preview)
Strange to say while I remember well the other comic characters who have appeared as avatars I have NO recollection of Archie although he definitely appeared in comics I bought and read. It did strike me that perhaps Stan Lee at Marvel Comics had Archie in mind when he drew Iron Man in 1963: what do you t...

Winter is coming as Siberian swan lands in the UK
(Preview)
The arrival of a swan from Russia has led weather watchers to fear that we are in for the winter from Hell. A folklore superstition with a little science thrown in, when a swan from Siberia lands at Slimbridge Wetlands in Gloucestershire, that means winter is coming. The swans are allegedly a good indi...

MM: They just don't get it.
(Preview)
Apologies for ranting on about another Millers' site but sometimes I can't help myself. People on here may have guessed that the Cardigan Kid isn't my favourite Miller; in fact I think he's a complete plonk but that's just my opinion. Now recently on MM Cardigan has been asking for some old posters to...

The Martian
(Preview)
Just watched it. Anyone else seen it? Basically it's a cross between Apollo 13 and Gravity about a bloke growing potatoes on Mars. They have to cheat and have him recording a video diary to explain what the heck is happening. I also watched another Sci-Fi classic, the 1958 It; the Terror from Beyon...

Police stop guarding Ecuadorean embassy.
(Preview)
It only cost £12 million thus far. Why pull out now. They said it wasn't proportionate but they might still have a chap in a long rain coat hiding behind the lamp-post if he ever dares to pop out to the local for a sly one. For what its worth...poppy****!

What does Putin think he is playing at? The West is good at making a mess of things but this guy is behaving like a thick school bully. His foreign policy is to do whatever he wants and explain it away with ridiculous statements that the whole world can see are nonsense. How frustrating is that? It is like c...

Is there anyone who you started off thinking was good/great but later grew to dislike? Or perhaps the other way round. I'll start you off with a bloke who I used to rate but now think is a smug, loudmouth muppet so far up his own rrse it's unreal. Darren Gough.

I never though that I would heap such praise on my old adversary but credit where credit is due.....He is single handedly trying to get the off topics going. Off topics is the one weakness of this site with little enthusiasm to get involved. Come on fellas...RUFC supporters have much more to offer than...
