I am thoroughly digging this World Series, mostly as an educational event. That's because I don't have much of a stake in either team, beyond a mild dislike for the Yankees, and having a gonzo cartoonist/tattoo artist friend from Philadelphia.

So slow, in fact, that Michael Phelps could swim 500 m, get out of the water, order a hamburger, and read the morning news before I cross the same distance. Speed putting, however, is another matter.

Three former Olympians - Speed skater Apolo Anton Ohno, figure skater Kristi Yamaguchi and...
In all the fuss over Jenson Button , it's easy to forget that he was not the only British sportsperson to become a world champion on Sunday. Beth Tweddle rounded off a good showing by the British team at the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships - Daniel Keatings also won silver in the men’s all-around competition – shaking off her disappointment after falling from the uneven bars (her...
Prime Minister congratulated Jenson Button, why not me? “I’ve not had a phone call yet from the Prime Minister,” Beth Tweddle said yesterday. “Jenson Button got one, but I haven’t. I’m clearly not important enough.” As the saying go's be careful for what you wish for, as she could be cursed with the bad luck that a congratulations comment from the PM brings....
