Oslo's national rail (NSB) connection between Central and the airport is barely any slower than the "Express" and is about half the price. About the only substantive difference is 2 tph most of the day as opposed to 6 tph for the Express. The "Express" still dominates the market, however...

For the most part, Piraeus is a working port. Beaches are perhaps better a few miles down the road (Glyfada / Voula). Not sure about direct links to Piraeus from there but you may be able to get the metro somewhere near. You can certainly get to/from town from Piraeus. If you are spending...

You seem to be assuming the newspaper has a clue. Discard this assumption and all becomes clear.

It cuts both ways (positives as well as negatives). I think that the buffoons confidently asserting what's what on the basis of the immediately previous half-hour of the test match have probably always been there, but they seem so visible now. Is there anyone in the England team who shouldn't...

They will probably think the sky's fallen in. At least they think like this after it's over - unlike over here, where the sky falls in once every couple of hours during the game. :wink:

Or watches Sky. Or listens to TMS. Or looks at Cricinfo or BBC website... :-)

Oh for goodness' sake give him a break. Players aren't machines. As a captain he's delivered a 2-0 Ashes lead and retained the urn. With a bit of luck that will be 3-0. I get more than a little fed up with the fickleness that seems to abound everywhere these days.

Pontypool Road (as was) was once much more important than it now is.

No. If Onions was to be included it should have been at the expense of Bresnan. There's nothing wrong with Jimmy's fitness and, if the truth be told, not much wrong with his bowling either. He hasn't had a deal of luck lately and there's nothing to suggest that he's really lost any form. In any...

That sort of stuff is absolute rubbish. Willis should have been put out to grass a long long time ago. And the bolded part of the quote is beyond belief.

Adverts are a marginal factor. There's much more to the BBC funding model than just "not having adverts". And adverts have their place on commercial TV. Furthermore, anyone who watches commercial TV "as live" and hence can't fast-forward through ad breaks needs their head looking at IMO...

Hence a million threads on here when people who do get caught squeal like nothing even though they're bang to rights.

Sure they could, quite possibly by initiating detraining after maybe 30-60 minutes as a matter of course, making bad (but manageable) situations worse and quite probably causing significant numbers of serious and less serious injuries, maybe dozens of times a year. Quite possibly bringing...

I absolutely agree with this, and opposition to the licence fee model for funding the BBC is lunacy in my view. (Leaving aside that I no longer reside in the UK so don't pay it :wink:)

Just take a look at the academic publishing game. You can get content for free and get people to pay for it by giving it a veneer of respectability through adding little more value than your brand / reputation. You can probably even pull this off in the digital age where your ability to...

All of the qualities apart from the Times provide what seems to be full coverage - and many online features such as commenting etc. - 'for free'.

He might have a case to answer for the team's over-rate, but only because it was WAY below 15 per hour. As Michael Holding put it recently, he could not remember one single occasion since he's been commentating on Test match cricket for Sky (15 years or so) where 90 overs in England have been...

And it would seem that DRS has blown the whole thing up. Again. Stuck in the office so haven't seen it, but everyone seems to be saying it was a ridiculous decision. Nonetheless the issues here are more subtle than many in the media (and indeed the teams) seem able to understand or prepared...

Most definitely.

I've no idea why it's "believe it or not". Plenty of us aren't slaves to the car and don't always get picked up at home when going for a round somewhere.
