Chris Kamara has made a good living with his `unbelievable Jeff` catch-phrase - it does get a bit tedious though!

Afraid you`re just too late - I`ve posted my vote already ! ... beginning to think Guido Fawkes had the right idea 🧨

I have been studying geography recently with a view to planning my next holiday. What better way to catch up with current trends than to invest 4 hours watching the Eurovision Song Contest last night.

In the UK proper nouns generally don't use an apostrophe;
for example it should be Kings Cross Station, not "King's Cross" (their website seems to be wrong on this).

Hi Trebornotlaw,

I've given a link to a really good article on the mess surrounding the apostrophe or lack thereof in the title so won't comment further, but I thought I'd copy and paste the very first sentence....

Oops! the link....
