1st December, whack the ads up to maximum to pay for Christmas

Stokes showing a great understanding of England supporters frustrations at the pre 2nd test presser "Australia is the best country to tour away from cricket. There are so many things to do. You can go out and about and see things that only Australia has to offer, great golf courses, coffee...

He was in Australia and was running a session with the England Lions, at the invite of Flintoff, a couple of weeks ago so its very sudden.

Former England cricketer Robin Smith. What a player, absolute joy to watch him batting.

Yep, the supposed nationalising of rail is nothing of the sort. They aren't even attempting to do anything about the ROSCOs and little more than nothing about the failing infrastructure.

I don't think that's old fashioned, I think thats normal. In the larger scale UBI trials the percentage of people not working doesn't shoot up. Most people want to work and contribute to society, they just want to feel what they are doing is worthwhile and be adequately rewarded. Now a lot of...

this story is pretty nuts. the regulator cut several services, essentially because they are incapable of running the service on time. it seems they didn't think to check with anyone how that would work in practice. what they actually created was a situation where the train, as well as the staff...

2nd test prep going well

not difficult is it, you just know they'll make it an over complicated mess.

Someone, might have been Maitlis, said in a talk they gave that the way balance worked was that both sides are given equal airtime. So if you had one point of view supported by 90% of experts in whatever field was being discussed you had to give equal representation to the 10% viewpoint...

If you watched it you'd know she was on a couple of weeks ago ;) https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002m42n to be fair its near unwatchable these days as is most of the political programming. same old people not answering questions and wanting to get pre-prepared soundbites in.

First series was decent. Bit weird that it was 3 episodes, and this series seems to be the same. Seemed to be loads of 80s & 90s films about someone frozen being discovered so its not the most original idea but they do it well and it's very watchable.

Another week of 'I'd take a point' before Frank sends the troops out to get us a win.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cewjkn2ww8zo Good news but you know they won't go for the obvious option and will somehow manage to make things worse. Already looks like the most obvious solution isn't the first choice and instead 'another idea'

Is there anything to actually confirm he was fired? Everything I've seen or heard has been that it was his choice. He's still working for the BBC covering Warwickshire and now seemingly the rugby which surely wouldn't be happening if he'd been sacked or had some big falling out. Maybe he just...

Don't think anyone was that hopefully that it wouldn't fall apart at some point but it has truly been a car crash. And now the way they've set up the leadership just invites months / years of infighting and people trying to take control or push their own agenda while nothing moves forward...

Same with jobs that list with 'competitive salary'. Just means we want to pay you as little as we can get away with.

Not sure the delayed flagging for offside really works. There was one on Saturday where they played a ball forward to a player who was very clearly offside. Didn't get flagged as we intercepted the ball but then passed it straight back to them and they went through and had an attempt on goal...
