    All purpose cricket thread

    Probably the right outcome - so much of what happens on the field of play during the game can be influenced by the captain - it's not like football where the captain tosses the coin and claps his hands occasionally to gee the players up. And then there is selection - there needs to be a chair of...

    Great Sporting Events

    Welcome back BBR. Great question (possibly more suited to an international break!!). As the question was "What events would you have wanted to be at in history?", rather than ones we have actually been at, my three would be:- 1. 1987 FA Cup Final - couldn't get a ticket 2. "Super Saturday" at...

    I suspect that might go back to Labour now!

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    How about putting it before Parliament before signing the "world-leading deal"??

    Same goes for children! Can't abide the little bastards! Rather have dogs.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I don't believe it's relevant that it is distracting the nation (as the Shadow Secretary for DCMS tried to say on Five Live this morning). THAT detracts from it being inhumane and ethically and morally reprehensible.

    Are we getting a name for ourselves off the pitch?

    It definitely isn't just us (as if that is a defence) - there have been multiple journalistic endeavours and even TV documentaries recently about the return of football violence, with a particular emphasis on the influence of drug use. Someone asked earlier "who is glorifying it?" - if you take...

    Absolutely with you on "oh my days" - like something a Victorian servant would have said!

    Things that annoy you

    Saw a stand-up routine by Bill Bailey recently regarding the use of the term "Not too bad, all things considered" and he wondered if they truly HAD considered all things! "The baffling longevity of LinkedIn" PMSL Found a link to it. Hilarious in my view!

    Things that annoy you

    No offence, but have you been living in a hole in the ground for 20 years? This came into common usage when "Friends" was popular (for some unfathomable reason) on telly in the 90s/00s! But it pisses me off too - the correct greeting is "Good morning" or "How do you do?" :) It also gets my...

    P&O Ferries

    P&O Ferries have reportedly sacked their entire seafaring staff of 800 and are replacing them with cheap foreign contract labour. They are owned by the Dubai-based firm DP World who made £3.8bn last year, but the £100m loss P&O are making is apparently an unsustainable business model. I have...

    Kane was shite tonight. No pace, no vision, positional nouse awful, delivery non-existent.

    I don't watch it out of choice. Had it on last night as our guests like it. Utterly unfathomable popularity!
