For the final Sri Lanka Test I'd rest Curran and Anderson, bring in Stone and probably Woakes. If it's less of a turning track then maybe also bring in Broad for Rashid.

2-1 City win.

Correct me if I am wrong but I thought that when clubs offer a deal with Zebra, it's an on interest free basis. That's what I thought, anyway. Otherwise you're quite right = no point.

You'd think they'd use the Zebra Finance deal for halves too especially given the purchase period is in the high-spending run up to Xmas when money is tight for many. If not, then that's a quick win (assuming no obstacles in the deal with Zebra which make it unworthwhile for lower value...

I've come into (lawful) possession of a "free entry for two" voucher for the National Brewery Centre, Burton, which comes with a few (small) free taster drinks at the end of the tour. This is effectively the museum of the Bass brewery in Burton town centre, have been before and it's very...

"It can't be bargained with, it can't be reasoned with, it can't be bought. And it absolutely will not stop UNTIL YOU ARE DEAD!" So said Kyle Reece of the Terminator, but he might as well have been speaking of Sisu. It should be clear to all now that the "batter people in court" strategy isn't...

No actual need and yet when you give people the opportunity to vote, they vote to leave. Never mind all this guff about how Europe wasn't a priority for most people; the Euroref got abfat far higher turnout than any election in decades . What I particularly hate is the idea the Leave Lies...

No he hasn't.

So there was no need for a referendum, despite all the changes to the EU since we voted to Remain in 1975....but when a vote was offered and it went the other way, now it's apparently requires to have another one....funny that. Look, I was Remain too but I just think it's best accepted and we...

OK to be clear, if the UK govt got a declaration of article 50 through parliament without any referendum (advisory or binding), which would be entirely within the law and EU treaties, would you be cool with that?

Suppose they lodge their appeal before the deadline. How long will it take before the Supreme Court announce a decision on whether they'll hear the case or not?

So it's the old "Brexit is going wrong, stop it now!" argument.....the point of a referendum, unlike an election, is you make a once in a generation choice and live with the consequences. I do not recall this whole "Stop Brexit, People's Vote" business before the 2016 result when everyone...

I don't recall why it was set up as an advisory referendum, but that's beside the point, which is that it was made clear to all concerned during the campaign that the result would be honoured either way, regardless of the advisory nature of the legislation. That was something accepted by all...

Even though not legally binding, it was 100% advertised as such i.e. the winner would see their version implemented. Would you, as a remainer, be happy if the government declared A50 and we left anyway, despite the campaign promising we'd remain if Remain won? After all, it was only legally...

But that's not relevant, because the EU ballot paper only said "leave or remain a member of the EU", regardless of what any of the campaigns said, there was no particular version or outline of Brexit which was required - as per the referendum, the government, via parliamentary approval, has a...

It doesn't matter that Vote Leave said, the government isnti obliged to deliver it's version of Leave. Nor does it matter what Farage, Toby Young etc said. Fact is the 2016 vote was advertised as fhe final decision and that the government would enact the result either way. Now the people who...

So you agree with me that die hard Remainers are displaying a Farage-level degree of stupidly/shamelessness.

Without agreeing with that sentiment, there's an alternative reality where Remain won 52-48 and Remainers sneer at the likes of Farage for campaigning to overturn the result, saying 'why can't you respect the will of the people in a democratic vote?'. Such people are the same sneering at Farage...

First post on this thread despite it being thousands of posts long. My biggest issue on Brexit is irritation at those who call for another referendum, pretending it's a democratic necessity but really only because they can't think of another way of cancelling Brexit. I was in favour of Remain...

Has anyone mentioned Arlene Foster on this thread yet? I reckon she'd insist on a hard border...
