The Diamond League kicked off a few days ago in China. Just been watching the first 30 minutes and already quite the range of athletes getting top spot - Botswana, Netherlands, Ukraine and Kenya! Although there were a staggering number of Ethiopians in the womens' 5000m.

Rest in peace. Obviously I'm not a part of the Catholic tradition but I do respect that he's made steps in the right direction to humble himself and not to see the position for its 'benefits' but as an opportunity to speak out about the importance of caring for the poor and the marginalised, something that's at the heart of the Christian faith. Hopefully whoever is next continues in that direction.

Great to see Leeds back up! Really hoping they can break what seems to be a rotten spell for newly promoted Premier League clubs.

Congrats Dobbo - you're a great choice for mod and I think you'll do a fab job! It's been an amazing six years as Sports Mod for me - I've gotten to learn about so many sports I wouldn't have done otherwise, and helping run multiple Olympics, World Cups, World Cup of Sportspeople and even a song contest (!) has been great. Sadly working full-time has taken its toll but I'm sure Mack and Dobbo will keep the Sports Forum ticking along nicely (and I'll still be sticking my head in of course!)

Glad we're getting a decent bunch of people who care about code formatting now - hopefully it's something Invision can offer as having to format things manually will take a lot longer.

Fairly predictable, although I was really hoping New Caledonia might pull off the Oceanian shock of the decade! Sadly I can't see them getting to far in the intercontinental playoffs.

Here's Lukas Graham - Lukas Graham (predictable!) 1. 7 Years 2. Happy Home 3. Funeral 4. You’re Not There 5. Better Than Yourself (Criminal Mind, Pt. 2) 6. What Happened to Perfect 7. Don’t You Worry ’bout Me 8. Mama Said 9. Take the World by Storm 10. Drunk in the Morning 11. Strip No More

Looks like the post in question has been deleted, but isn't this one of the benefits of the tag system - being able to point people to respond in a thread without having to mass-send PMs about it? That's what I've been doing in the Scavenger Hunt threads and people have been fine with it. (apologies I won't be taking part in this month's BJSC, and potentially also the next one depending on when it falls)

Given I'm currently sharing a tram with a bunch of very loud Spanish football fans, I assume there's a match on tonight?
