Yes.

A self Destruct button has been pressed.

Listening to John Terry's explanation is cringeworthy.

I couldn't muster up the enthusiasm to watch the foopball last night so I watched Prof Mary Beard's Romans thing instead, which was brilliant.

I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that.

Yes, I did like that bit. Those names were hilarious - they could have been taken straight out of Monty Python. Didn't the bloke have a name that meant "Hot Sex" or something like that?

Friend of ours was at school with Mary, and she said she was dead clever even then.

What about Mary, was she bright too?

@Domestique, yes there is, but there is also a lot of very considerate driving, just like most other places....

Tonights recommendation has to be Metalworks! on BBC Four, unfortunately just finishing (but should be on iPlayer) a fascinating account of how Henry VIII, among others pushed forward the art of armour making.

There you go, the first episode (which I missed) was about silver.

Just figured out why I missed the first one - it's got that Dan Cruickshank on it. Meh.

TV - of sorts. Or rather, the second series of Borgen. Just finished the box set (imported) and its great as ever. I understand it will be shown soon on BBC4, something like that.

Just caught the final half hour of the JCC doc, definitely on my list of all time greatest Englishmen. OGWT now on BBC4, classic early Banshees plus more JCC. I love BBC4
