    Not strictly true - you don't need to be either quick or heavy to throw a good punch.

    I've seen and been on the receiving end of some great punches from my sparing partner who is rather slow and chucky. Timing and technique.

    Then again I've landed some crackers and I'm neither quick or chunky.

    Gordon Brown is like Rocky Balboa, in that he'd need to go southpaw to avoid his gammy eye side.

    Yes, that is good news. The English law of libel has no place stifling scientific debate.

    Another sound judgement from Lord Justice Sedley, he who once memorably ruled

    Free speech includes not only the inoffensive, but the irritating, the contentious, the eccentric, the heretical, the unwelcome and the provocative (...) Freedom only to speak inoffensively is not worth having.
    Actually you should make that your motto

    started a topic Meanwhile, in other news

    Meanwhile, in other news

    The Guardian has been famous for its April 1st issue for decades. This is a good one.



    One tactic being discussed involves provoking a physical confrontation at one of the three ground-breaking TV debates between the candidates. In this scenario, Brown, instead of responding to a point made by Cameron, would walk over from his microphone with an exaggerated silent display of self-control, bring his face to within an inch of the Tory leader's, and in a subdued voice, ask "what did you just say?", before delivering a single well-aimed blow to his opponent's face, followed by a headlock if required.

    The bloodied and bruised Cameron could then be whisked to a nearby hospital, where a previously briefed team of doctors and nurses would demonstrate the efficiency and compassion of the NHS under a Labour government.
