Reply | Worst flight / service / food etc on a plane?
at 12:47 17 Sep 2025
Mrs Sheen and I went to Zimbabwe on honeymoon in 1992. Air Zimbabwe was winging us over Congo when an enormous lightning storm began, with hideous turbulence. Summoned back to her seat , Mrs S passed a stewardess belted in her flip seat, crying and wailing. I’m normally a very calm flyer but I was concerned about crash landing in a remote forest in Congo, as if there was a good place to crash into from 30,000 feet.
Can’t blame Air Zim for Congo’s lightning but it was a little disturbing when we took off for an internal flight on ancient 727 later and the No Smoking/ Seatbelt sign fell out of its frame. |

Chan’s broken teeth. Yikes!
No Crichton cooks the Dogs, I think. In fact, I’d have the Panthers and the Roosters over any of the Dogs, Storm or Broncos at the moment. |

We used Rumsey & Son, based in Brentford, when we moved in January. Great service, didn’t complain (to our faces!) about having to carry our stuff up four flights of stairs, nothing broken, super fast. One of them was a Rangers fan! |

Very entertaining once you got used to his intonation and his habit of cracking a whip every two minutes. Took me a while to catch up on who eeks-zhay was though.
I thought he pre-empted questions on Walsh by leading on the importance of playing young players and accepting mistakes as the price of their development, about three minutes in. Obviously he wasn’t going to name names and Clive was rightly too respectful to. |

I was watching the post mortem on Ireland’s defeat in Armenia on RTE (Kevin Doyle not happy) and they’ve given up on qualifying after two games. Half of their remaining group games are against Portugal, mind.
The other thing about a bloated finals is it creates lots of low interest games in the tournament proper, that drags on so long it outstays its welcome. Rugby World Cups have the same problem, compounded by the need to leave more recovery time between matches. Less of a tournament, more of an era. [Post edited 11 Sep 11:27]

Reply | Charlie Austin on Under the Cosh
at 10:07 11 Sep 2025
These Is vs Ought arguments generate a lot more heat than light. Yes, Austin probably ought to have managed his fitness and lifestyle better than he did but if he had, he wouldn’t have been playing for a skint club at the wrong end of the Championship at 30. He showed his ability and intelligence despite his lack of anything resembling pace in flashes, but undeniably - 2 goals against Everton, the equaliser against Barnsley, the winner against WestBrom. Other strikers of the era, Conor Washington say, who might never have seen a sand dune they didn’t want to sprint up, wouldn’t have got near them. We’ve traditionally bought raw prospects, honest tryers and shop-worn seconds, trying and recently failing to get the blend right. The new regime wanted to stop the third but, events! and now we have Hayden. [Post edited 11 Sep 10:09]

Who has these on their World Cup Qualifiers Coupon?
Ecuador beating Argentina
Bolivia beating Brazil
I see Bolivia hosted Brazil at the “El Alto” stadium. Fair’s fair!
PS no effect on qualifying, all pretty much settled already. [Post edited 10 Sep 22:27]

Plenty of teams now seem much more comfortable away from home out of possession. Turkey were a real force in the Euros last year and were humiliated 6-0 at home by Spain the other night. |

Marinakis looking forward to the novelty and convenience of sacking a Forest manager in Greek. |
