    cricket 2025

    This is like a "traditional" English bowling performance in India. Don't seem have a clue how to take wickets.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Every political party in UK has a target group(s) that are responsible for the bulk of problems - can be immigrants, business, trade unions,wealthy, over-educated, under-educated, nationalists and so on. Reform aren't going to win an election on immigration alone. All parties legislate to...

    It's the 300bn in cash ISAs they want to "push" into investment etc

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    More the argument that cash ISAs are tying up money the Govt would like people to invest in other things eg stocks & shares to stimulate growth. It's the total amount tied-up rather than individual benefits. Unsurprisingly it's the investment firms and big business that would like to see cash...

    cricket 2025

    Braver umpires and India are 40/3 and in trouble. Change bowlers then threw away all the good work of the openers (Tongue in particular)

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    This refers to Modern Monetary Theory. Simply that taxpayer money is paying off Govt debt rather than financing Govt spending.

    They are just finding out Govt is difficult (lack of practice). You can't do everything, you can't keep everybody happy etc

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Just as insidious is the increasing control it gives to these corporations/big businesses these ultra-rich tend to own/control. Three investment companies between them have controlling interests of over 80% of the fortune 500 companies. A lot of the rest are mainly dominated by one...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Watch both sides unite to crush the concept of a 3rd party - one thing AOC and Trump would agree on.

    F1 2025

    Was lucky we were inside the corporate - aircon etc and fans on the balconies. Trackside was brutally hot. We were in the pits around 1 pm and the temp down there was over 50c. Biggest danger inside corporate was dodging the selfie sticks of the social media crowd :ROFLMAO:

    F1 2025

    Atmosphere change yesterday at the track was incredible when Max went out. Massive drop in noise and atmosphere. Anyone fancies a live F1 experience then Austria is a good option. The track visibilty for most spectators seems amazing compared to other circuits. Was told tickets are actually...

    F1 2025

    Supposed to be going tomorrow on a freebie but don't think i fancy 9 hours in the car in these temps we've got here (34/35C). It's actually a terrible track in terms of location when it comes to hotels etc. Graz is the nearest decent option and that's a good hour away. It's a big race for Lando...

    They are a problem once they find your weak spots - current affairs, music from your youth, certain sports - couple of hours later you realize you've been had :)

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    When we were kids we were told we couldn't watch too much TV because it was bad for us - certainly no daytime TV even in school holidays. My niece with autism can spend 8 hours + a day on her mobile looking at all sorts. Can't believe that helps her situation. They've prescribed her sleeping...

    Then you get the case for increased immigration (appeal of illegal immigration) going up because of shortages in the labour force. Then you get the cost to the NHS in dealing with this. It is just going to spiral.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    COVID didn't help some of these kids. My youngest niece was flying pre-COVID, top marks etc. Then after COVID couldn't get her back to regular school attendance (100s thousands kids apparently the same). Then she was diagnosed with a form of autism which hasn't helped. The final straw was some...

    cricket 2025

    Years of trouble with the West Indies cricket board - scandals, infighting and financial. No money for investment in grassroots or junior cricket takes a toll. Been years since they have had a decent Test team so that doesn't help red ball attendances. I know when they had the 20/20 last year...

    cricket 2025

    Can someone explain why for the 2nd round of Championship games in a row they are starting on a Sunday rather than a Saturday? Surely there must be some attendance benefit by having cricket on a Saturday rather than a Wednesday (when these 4 day games will end)? Appreciate attendances aren't...
