True - but i can't get used to "batter" (other than for making Yorkshire puddings, or what we are going to do to Sunderland this season)

It's alright, i've read the Met Office and UKHSA health warnings for when it goes over 22C! 33C in Verona, they are saying, small chance of thunderstorms. Cushty!

I miss the references to "Third Man" in cricket - now just plain "Third" even in the men's game!

I was focussing on the general issues of behaviour towards girls raised by others in this thread, not the killing aspect. Apologies for not making that clear.

I am so glad i don't have any children having to face these issues in this day and age. It all seemed so much simpler in the 70s when i was growing up. Is it that boys watch too much porn or shit peddled by Tate and his like, so they assume girls are there for the taking? Or is it pressure to...

Women's tennis can very much hold its own, but the demands for equal pay and prize money, when they only have to play a maximum of three sets, gets on my nerves. That said, I think tennis could be the sole example where the audiences and advertising revenue could be close to parity with the...

I may be easily confused due to my advancing years, but it annoys me on the BBC sport website when they have a headline about a T20 match against the Kiwis, and it has the subtitle "Cricket". "Hold on a mo", says i, "I thought we were playing the Windies". Turns out it's "Women's Cricket".

https://clares-law.com/ NB It is illegal to be in possession of a crossbow in a public place ... as it is to murder someone ... but as mentioned earlier, it isn't illegal to buy or own one.

Fisting and Tiger Tim in the same breath makes me feel quite unwell!

The BBC Sport live cricket website is a piece of crap! You used to be able to see the text commentary in the centre pane, with the summary scorecard down the right. This has now gone, and instead you have to toggle to another tab, and the layout of that is rubbish (e.g. doesn't say "Still to...

Actually, this probably belongs in the "Things that annoy you" thread, but the fact that the "fist pump" (maybe related to what Daz is on about) is the sole (and incessant) means of expressing any form of emotion by any tennis player these days. Bloody automatons, the lot of 'em!

First pump??

Found alive, but with some injuries. A bit soon to have "fallen down the stairs" at the nick! Bastard!

Hope it lasts - we're heading in your general direction next week!

My dream is an Austin-Healey 3000 Mk3, 1964-ish, like this one. Drove one for a day and loved it. Will never have one unless i win the lottery as they retail for about 50 thou! My retirement project in a couple of years will be an MGB Roadster, like @RedSalmon - cheap to get a decent one...

My dad had one of those as a wheelchair conversion, as it meant he could be a front-seat passenger after loading from the rear. So i had some happy times with it. But yeah ... bitch to drive and ugly as sin!

Or a Kia R-Soul

We're flying out at 7am next Tuesday, and I have taken all the steps i can to avoid getting delayed. We have booked FastTrack for a fiver a head (whoever is charging you £20 is ripping you off). The main issue, i understand, is that the clowns in charge decided that during the redesign they...

Best not search for it on X - seems to be a thinly-veiled attempt to post as many random porn clips as possible!

I agree ... Zwayer [Wednesday's ref] was given a six-month ban in 2005 after he was investigated for taking a £250 bribe from official Robert Hoyzer. Hoyzer was subsequently given a ban for life from football. The fact they have given us an all-German officiating team is bad enough!!
