    I wish someone would buy Rafa Nadal some knickers that fit.  Watching him tug the back then the front, then do his hail mary or whatever is really offputting. I'm surprised he doesn't get a time violation.

    It's irritating to have to sift through his carp to access useful information and intelligent discussion. His poor grammar is making me twitch too.

    I saw that some of the pro-gun American politicians have been using the shooting in Denmark this week as evidence that gun laws wouldn't help in the US. Apparently it was the first shooting there in seven years. There's been four mass shootings in the US already today :|
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Use the block button @B3 and @Ben Cotto, it comes in very useful sometimes.

    As the gun lobby says, "It's not the guns, it's the people that cause the problem".  The way they are going in the USA there won't be any people left to shoot soon!  I was reading a report yesterday of a man being shot 60 times by police, allegedly some shots fired after he was on the ground and handcuffed.

    Is it really necessary for the police to shoot a suspect 60 times, when he was running away???
    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    In a word 'No'.  Add to the 60 that hit, there were apparently at least another 30 which missed the target.  God knows who else they could have hit.  American police, at least elements of them, seem to be completely out of control.
    Before any dives in, I'm not saying all British coppers are angels but the levels of violence used in the USA is scary.
