When ever I read about bad weather at sea and ships in distress, it reminds me of this brilliant documentary/film about the Penlee lifeboat disaster off the coast of Cornwall. Heartbreaking tragedy, a real tough watch, one of the finest film/docs ever made.

Any ice hockey fans on here? Nottingham Panthers player Adam Johnson died last night after receiving a skate across his neck during a match against the Sheffield Steelers. I can only remember one other incident like this some years ago in the NHL, 1989 I think, when a goalie, Clint Malarchuk...

Gutted for Wales, they didn't turn up today and the argies were well up for it, fair play to them. All blacks were magnificent, fully expectd the Irish to win but they met their match in a fantastic game.

Great win for Portugal, they deserved that.
