    Didn't realise it is on TalkSport - just assumed Sky had exclusive broadcast rights. Good intel!

    Shocked / advise

    I suppose it could be argued that her opinion of people of colour has been skewed by her previous experiences of being mugged three times in Spain, and that she is scared of all ethnic minority people as a result. Is there a place for rational discussion and even some kind of therapy rather than...

    Shocked / advise

    Of course, that is Craig's other option. But maybe get his missus to do it?

    67-1 at the close. Duckett the man out. Rehan in as nightwatchman. Solid start.

    Things that annoy you

    It's a very "Microsofty" thing to do, but they are owned by Google, so wouldn't be a surprise.

    Alkaline Attacks

    According to the Beeb, he was NOT eligible to be granted asylum under the regulations in force at the time. Whoever did grant it should be sacked and their civil service pension revoked!

    F1 2024

    Ferrari's share price rose by 9% (£7bn) on the news. WHY? Do they think people are going to rush out and buy a new SF90 just because their F1 team have signed an over-the-hill over-rated has-been? I'm baffled! He surely cannot be THAT vital to the brand!

    Things that annoy you

    Or the release of those stupid chinese lanterns at vigils, etc. Fucking ridiculous fire and environmental hazard. Why have people got to be seen to be doing something? Just reflect and talk - if you are able!

    The official NFL Thread

    I see Philly have hired Vic Fangio as Defensive Coordinator following their epic collapse at the end of the regular season and the wild-card game against the Ravens. I don't think Fangio's record was particularly impressive this season at Miami, and their defense allowed more than 400 yards to...

    Cricket 2024

    Hyderabad wasn't exactly packed to the rafters, sadly, for such a cricket-loving nation. Funny that this series is being played in more provincial cities rather than the better-known megapolis places we are more familiar with. I have been to India a couple of times, and i have never heard of...

    49ers were bloody lucky! 24-7 down then win 34-31. Unlucky for Detroit, who have never (?) made the Super Bowl.

    Cricket 2024

    That match had parallels with the 1981 Ashes test at Headingley, where we had a huge 1st innings deficit (albeit forced to follow-on) and Botham scored 149 in the second innings which contributed to a lead to bowl at, then Willis took that 8 for 43. But to do it in India, with Hartley on debut...

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    The ICJ's rulings are binding but there is no mechanism for them to be enforced, apparently. It's a bit like the French passing a law saying that you have to carry breathalysers in your car but never actually enforcing it! I won't bother carrying any then!

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    International Court of Justice has issued its provisional ruling on the genocide case brought by South Africa. Of course, the IDF will simply ignore it and there is little anyone can do about it other than tut and shake their heads! Here are the provisional measures the court has made: Israel...

    Nottingham Serious Incident

    Sounds like there could be grounds for Notts Police to be referred to the IOPC. Incidentally, what a total balls by Norfolk Police and mental health teams on this sad case near Norwich. Multiple opportunities to answer his cries for help were missed and now four people are dead, including two...

    Nottingham Serious Incident

    Is there still a perception that the Special Hospital Service is a cushy number compared to a Cat A HMP? I haven't spent time in either, but in recent times, the purpose of being in prison is to be rehabilitated not punished, so they probably aren't much different. As Ellis Boyd "Red" Redding...
