Michael Gove & Jon Sopel win the Spectator's BBC debate against Charles Moore & Allison Pearson. 57% of the audience voted to Defend the Beeb, rather than Defund it. More @spectator events can be found at events.spectator.co.uk – at London, England

I like to think that hell consists of playing snooker without any of the equipment for reaching long shots so there's no rest for the wicked!

And that's not even mentioning the shoes! Dark formal dress shoes please. Sports shoes and trainers are *not* acceptable absent an official medical exemption.

I'm with David, what is the point of letting it count if it's not in line with competition rules? It's the start of a slippery slope to using their hands to just roll the balls around for records

why pay £7 when you can listen to @VictoriaCoren read it for free on Only Connect. Every Monday, 8pm on BBC2. Don't worry if you're just joining now; you haven't missed much.

I was drunk and made a straight on the river on a paired board. Opponent asked the dealer if he had to get called to receive the high hand bonus for quads. Dealer said no, he bet $100. I went all in and he said "I call, I have quads"

Share a piece of poker lore about yourself ❤️♦️♠️♣️ I’ll start: one time I was playing a cash game with Don Cheadle at the Commerce, and after a series of probably irresponsible but exciting bluffs, he looked at me and said, “I’m just enjoying the show man”.

Watching Only Connect. Final round with the missing letters: 'Things couples share'. I shout out 'romantic meal'. Husband shouts out 'remote control'. @VictoriaCoren #OnlyConnect
