My mate and I were sat watching one a good few years back. After one of the songs I leant over to him and said, 'First to stop clapping loses'.

I think we both kept going for a minute after everybody else had stopped before he caved in.

People must have the 'right to offend' without facing a police investigation

Two judges have struck a blow to enemies of free speech after ruling people should have the right to offend and even abuse each other without facing a police investigation.

Presiding over a Court of Appeal case concerning the misgendering of a trans woman on Twitter, Lord Justice Bean and Mr Justice Warby ruled that “free speech encompasses the right to offend, and indeed to abuse another”, adding: “Freedom only to speak inoffensively is not worth having”.

They said it would be a “serious interference” with the right of free speech if “those wishing to express their own views could be silenced by, or threatened with, proceedings for harassment based on subjective claims by individuals that felt offended or insulted”.

The hills look OK. It's a shame somebody has dumped some left over "architecture" from Basildon in the way.

You have great views Noggin! I was always torn between mountains and the sea and we considered living in Austria a long time ago. Back in 2000 I was talking to my doctor and told him that Preston and the UK in general wasn't 'home'. He asked me where home was and I said "I don't know but there'll be hills or mountains on one side and the sea on the other." "You might want to go and find that place then." he suggested.

A few years later, here on holiday for the umpteenth time my missus said "Let's come and live here". It was a no-brainer. Hills on 3 sides and the sea to the east - it's home. I still love the mountains, seeing them, being in amongst them but trips will do. The local hills are fairly tough going but without the altitude which is hard work anyway so it's all good. I doubt I'll climb any more mountains though . . . well, maybe one more.

But the sea won overall, it's less effort!
