Blair recounting that, after he punched the guy with a mullet, they had to call a press conference and all he said was "Well, John is John!" and that was that. Can only imagine how swift and brutal the condemnation would be these days, he'd have been out on his arse by the time his fist was unclenched.

I thought that Blair handled this situation very well; it was just before the election, too. Should there be more politicians from an actual working-class background. Not people like Farage, who hides his very privileged background.

Does anybody know what the egg-thrower was supposed to be protesting about?

I think it was a protest against Labour's fox hunting ban.

I will never understand why he never followed up his left hand jab with a right hook.

I know. The protester left his left side totally unguarded. Prezza could easily have got a good right hook to the jaw. Instead he let the bloke push him back onto that wall where he ceded the advantage.

He may have seen his political career and New Labour's chances of winning the election flash before him?

'I have changed. I no longer keep the coal in the bath. I keep it in the bidet' - When he announced that he had joined the middle classes.

He was quite the humourist.

At the risk of sounding a bitter and twisted old git, he was a cut above the current crop of Labour frontbenchers.

Very sad news. Terry Griffiths, former world snooker champion, dies aged 77. Watching matches between him and Thornburn used to be the ultimate test of endurance.

Shame a snooker player's never lived to 147, that'd be fun.

They’ve made a documentary about the life of Eddie Stobart.

I’ve seen the trailer, it’s great.

The worst sort of baddie, I think. Someone from within who has gone rogue.

I love that fact that he got caught because he lowered his face mask to flirt with a checkout girl. After the cold assignation of the CEO. What an absolute ledge! He should be the next Bond.

Lennie De Ice, early jungle/hardcore producer, has died. Ravers from the early 90s will no doubt have thrown shapes to this track fuelled with nothing more than a bottle of Evian.

A breakbeat hardcore rave classic (amen break, acid house bleeps, samples galore) but you can definitely hear the roots of jungle and the darker stuff in it. I just read this was recorded in 1989 which is ridiculously ahead of its time.

RIP Lennie.
