    Why don't they do that more often?

    In normal circumstances multiple backward passes are rare unless it's a trick play. In this game Miami had to throw it around to keep the play alive, once a player is tackled the play (and game) is over.

    Here is another one from the 80s. It's mental as the home team's band came out thinking they had won!

    Possession is everything in American Football. It's simply too dangerous.

    That said, I think they should do it more often than they do and they should really practice their passing a bit more...

    Watching Great Irish Bake off, another show ruined by tv3's deep love of ad breaks. :(

    Two shows I have never watched, and never will due to hearing about them during the RWC on tv3

    Great Irish Bake off and Red Rock.

    I just read the SBW thread. I never realised we had so many security experts on this forum.
    Just out of interest I worked on doors as security many many years ago. It was only part time. (I was in the Fire Service at the time) but the money was welcome. It was over in Middlesbrough in England.
    The most hassle I endured was caused by one of the smallest guys I've had the misfortune to know. Pure nasty little turd. Long story but lets just say I ended up in hospital.

    Remember, poison comes in small bottles.

    Beware the midgets:D

    I still can't watch Snow White and the seven dwarf's. As for The Hobbit? 'Shudders.'

    Anyone any thoughts on Android tablets for kids? Been looking at a few and the best I've seen so far is this. A little pricey but seems to be good quality

    Seems decent value? Thinking of getting my youngest one something like this one. Named brand and decent specs.

    I have a serious fear of small creatures and the damage they can inflict. Spent four and a half months on crutches in 2013, and the amount of time the little unsupervised
    bastards
    darlings would be running around shopping centres and would caroom into me causing me to almost faint with the pain is incalculable.

    Even now, relatively mobile, if I see a small person running anywhere unfettered that may cause them to collide with me, I involuntarily envison an impact such as that if POC tackled me full onl.

    Just one small point to make, but would you look for the 7 inch version? Do they need the big ten inch? We've both a 7 and 10 inch tablet here, and the 7 is far more widely used as size wise it's just more convenient.?

    Might save a few quid too?

    I have a 7 inch tablet and it's perfect. I also have an 11 inch laptop but would prefer the tablet.

    12 year old cousin has an 8 inch tablet and wouldn't need bigger.
