Growers and purveyors of apple plants grafted on a variety of rootstocks, including M27, which is the first choice for growing in a container (although that's always going to be inferior to open-ground cultivation).

Hurrah! Sounds like a great match to have watched. And I reckon Goodwin should be the next captain.

Caitlin Moran on why it is a good thing that our politicians are not like Sarah Palin. Brilliant stuff (and please don't take it as seriously as some of the commenters!).

German-made shoes. They make slippers that Hels really likes. I've just had an unsubtle comment about Christmas gifts.

Worst season for years, perhaps, but we have had some excellent fish from our local fishing fleet. More and more, we are trying to buy local fish when we can. The quality is certainly very high.

Hmm. "Tough choices" for UK broadband probably can be translated as "if you're outside of the cities, you're stuffed", as usual.

Oh dear, a whole Broadcast album that I missed. Now, where's that credit card?

The life of the players who haven't made it yet, made it a few years ago and are passed it and those who will never make it – all of whom are looking for a job at the end of the season. Amazingly, one in six players will find themselves looking for a new team at the end of this season. A world apart from the Premiership namby-pamby primadonnas.

The Marketer interviews Boris Johnson. Interesting to read what he says were the most successful tactics from his election campaign. Also, he says that "It’s better to do fewer things well than a whole load of things half-arsed." Wise words, indeed.

Flight of fancy?
Sitting on board the Maersk Delft, waiting to depart Dover docks, passengers stare as the huge MSC Armonia glides into dock, flash bulbs glinting as passengers get the obligatory shot of the not-so-white Cliffs of Dover. As the ferry finally moves off from the quay, only a few minutes late, some wag plays Ride of the Valkyries on the entertainment system. Hmm, slightly fanciful thinking, I feel.

Just looking at the photos shows what separates Soviet (and now Russian) space technology from NASA's and ESA's equivalents – no frills. Less bells and whistles means less to go wrong, although that doesn't make them infallible.
