The Shearer Defence: a new term for socially acceptable, sporting immorality
I mildly disagree with my esteemed colleague Brian Viner, who writes this morning of his low opinion of Alan Shearer’s punditry. I actually think Shearer is ok rather than poor. And the great striker’s service to Newcastle United, during a torrid spell in that club’s history, has predisposed me to a favourable opinion of him.
But he [...]

6Music saved – against the odds
I found out about the 6Music reprieve via a text message from my mother who, as far as I know, has never listened to the station, and probably wouldn’t have even known about its existence had it not been earmarked for the chop.

Lying online: confession time?
Today’s paper includes an interview I conducted with Professor Robert Feldman about his book, Liar. It’s an excellent, entertaining and not-at-all-daunting read (the book that is – not the interview, about which you can make up your own mind).

We are witnessing the beginnings of a historic [...]

Oneybike: If Porsche did penny-farthings
I’ve been off the bike for two weeks now after exhausting my knees during last month’s, 1,000-mile Ride Across Britain. They still won’t bend beyond 90 degrees, although they’re improving thanks to physiotherapy treatment I’m receiving (on which more soon) in the race to get fit for the Etape du Tour, the amateur stage of [...]

Spectator U-turn on the coalition
“The Lib Dems are left with prestigious-sounding non-jobs like Scotland Secretary and Deputy Prime Minister.”
inFamous 2 in all its lightning flinging parkour glory
If ‘inFamous’ was ‘Uncharted’ meets ‘Assassin’s Creed’ with a hearty dose of lightning powers on the side then ‘inFamous 2′ looks like it’s shaping up to be ‘Uncharted 2′ meets ‘Assassin’s Creed 2′ with ever increasing lightning powers (and even ice powers) thrown in for good measure. If that sounds disparaging it isn’t meant to; [...]

Tooth fairy update
No point in prolonging the nonsense a minute further, of course. But I have replied to various of the Tooth Fairy Cult who cropped up in the comments on my post earlier today, and it may be worth holding up one of the main lines of the conspiracists to the light of reason for more [...]
