    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    A major difference is that she entered a guilty plea on a charge that can lead to several years in prison. Jones entered a not guilty plea and therefore it was down to a jury to decide. I obviously wasn’t at the trail, or even following it particularly closely, so while the video clip on...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Is there any details on what has led to that? I’m on a train with fuck all signal so can’t check news sites. Seems a very strange decision on the face of it.

    There's a remaster of the original going in to cinemas in the US ahead of the sequel release, hoping they do the same here

    Weight and working out

    Thanks to Donald Trump and his threats to pharmaceutical companies we're going to see huge increases in drugs prices here. Basically he's promising all kinds of punitive measures on the manufacturers if they don't raise prices in other countries to the insane levels we see reports of in the...

    Nothing to do with what the flag is, its attaching anything to lamposts without authorisation that could be considered a distraction to motorists. Although the rules seem to apply randomly. Can't have advertising on the side of the skydome arena because it would be too distracting but the...

    Oxford tickets

    Why? It doesn't work like that for any other event. There's events where they will quite happily make you pay an additional fee for access to the first bracket of sale but it doesn't guarantee you a ticket.

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    He's also got to go to the right place before there can be any 'winning'. He's twice said he's going to Russia to speak with Putin, the meeting is in Alaska.

    cricket 2025

    Exactly, crowds were growing year on year, streaming was proving to be a big success. Finals day was pretty much the biggest day of domestic cricket every year. It was far from perfect and there was absolutely ways to improve things but its never had a fraction of the resources the Hundred has.

    cricket 2025

    Thought this weeks Sky Sports Cricket podcast was some sort of parody. They spent a good chunk of it discussing how the problem with the Hundred is that people don't care about the teams because they have no history. Alongside that people don't care about the players because they aren't players...

    Slagging off players needs to stop.

    There's no way they don't look. It would be impossible to resist even when you know it's going to be a load of idiots talking shit.

    12 year old raped in nuneaton

    I may be oversimplifying here but for me we just come back to getting people properly processed quickly and by people that known what they're doing so we don't have such a large number of cases successfully going to appeal. Get the numbers down so we can process people within days or weeks of...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    I'm just glad that after 200 days in the job Vance has managed to fit a much deserved holiday in. After all he's only had holidays in Vermont, Disneyland, North Dakota, Cincinnati, India. Greenland, The Vatican and probably a few I've missed since taking the job. Sure the locals won't be...

    Surely he isn't planning to institutionalise homeless people?

    cricket 2025

    The good news is coming thick and fast. Thought I was old enough to be dead and gone before the game was totally destroyed but I'm starting to wonder. Its obvious the big 3 just want to play each other and will just about tolerate throwing in occasional 3 test series against NZ, WI, SL and...

    Oxford tickets

    Sure I read that the supporters clubs were required to have the relevant number of season tickets with the required number of points and that tickets had to be used by that season ticket holder. Might have been from one of the supporters groups meetings minutes. Not sure what happens if clubs...

    cricket 2025

    County members are already questioning why they should pay for marginalized competitions (Metro Bank) and reduced number of games (Blast), along with county games being pushed to months when you're not likely to want to sit outside all day. The Hundred will be reformatted to T20, that seems an...
