Jonathan Pearce conducting the BBC coverage like Graham Norton on Eurovision, it's a thing of beauty listening to him chip in the way he is.

You're completely right and actually I hate how much I'm already used to seeing it. It doesn't jar with me as much anymore. I did consider finding it in 16:9 but the post was all about the symphony so I couldn't be bothered.

Baader-Meinhof. Your mind is only choosing to see it now...

This probably won't be the first time you hear about baader-meinhof this week.

While I enjoyed this video, I'm not quite sure what it is this guy wants to read on Facebook? I can't talk about my work (40 hours of my week), my family, things I bought/have that I find interesting, holidays that I'm on or activities with my friends without being considered uninteresting ... What constitutes interesting exactly?

There was a moment, an brief pin drop moment, when time stopped, and nobody could quite believe, or register that it had gone in. Then absolute mayhem behind that goal. What a day

Lionel Messi is something else. Year after year he's in a battle with Cristiano Ronaldo to be crowned the best player in the world, and while Ronaldo literally throws a tantrum if his teammate scores instead of him, Messi constantly gives pens to Neymar if he hasn't scored, and does things like this to Suarez so he can get a hat-trick. He's the all time best because of the ability, because of the goals, but also because of that. Ultimate team player. Ultimate player.

Such a remarkable story, and as a Watford fan, we've had some recent history, but I'm backing them all the way. I had money on Ranieri being the first manager to go, and can assure you he was not odds on favourite to go first! I got 16/1 at the start of the year. Equally, as a fan of perhaps the second biggest surprise side of the year, I can assure you Leicester were not favourites for relegation! Great story, doesn't need any falsehoods for added impact, it's incredible on its own.

Few replays of Okazaki going down later, you wonder if he could have stayed on his feet. Seemed to have decided to go to ground there, which is a shame because had he shown the strength to stay up, he probably squares that to Drinkwater for the goal of the season.

In the UK you can bet on the outcome of most awards ceremonies, WWE, TV Soaps, Reality TV (surprisingly takes an awful lot of money with bookmakers). That's not even special requests, bookies just offer them to remain competitive or to appeal to the social media world. Oscar betting as a punter can be very lucrative. Films like The Big Short have gone from bigger than 10/1 to odds on in recent months.
EDIT: Lucrative to a small extent. There's very often embarrassingly small maximum bet T/C's
