not going to happen any time soon but long term the future for test cricket looks pretty grim. Nobody seems interested once you move outside of the 'big 3'. we've already got young players coming through that are ditching red ball cricket before they've even started. Can only see that getting...

Seems to be a lot of empty seats today. Not great on for the opening day of a major series. Plus it's a Friday and beautiful weather, you'd expect it to be packed.

Could see this coming when the entire build up spoke about this series as a warm up to the Ashes. Not sure Jaiswal is going to be able to keep going, seems to be in a lot of pain.

Was at the O2 earlier this week. They've closed a decent number of the bars and replace them with unstaffed self service units. A camera monitors what you take out of the fridge or pour from the self service machines and charges you accordingly. Almost comically the only member of staff is...

Pleased its passed. suspect there will be a lot of scrutiny and suggestions from the Lords but its a step in the right direction. Personally I think not having anything in there for dementia is a glaring omission. Every relative I speak to at my Dads care home says the same thing 'they...

Keeping expensive office spaces is the decision of individual companies. And as you say, large office spaces are expensive, both in rent and running costs. There's absolutely no reason businesses can't downsize and the market is increasingly adapting with more serviced offices that allow...

Most seasons I consider moving to one of the lower end hospitality offerings but the value just isn't there. OK as a one off special occasions but hard to justify for every game. Also think some of the newer offerings they have launched are all a bit similar.

And then there's Cleverly banging on about how much it might cost Thought Gordon Brown made a good point the other day. You really need to sort out end of life care if you're going to have a discussion on assisted dying otherwise you risk the options being substandard care or ending your life

No idea what your thoughts were before you started doing it yourself but I find a lot of people change their mind when they get the chance to try it for themselves. Fair enough I guess as it is counter intuitive that more work gets done in 4 days at home / hybrid than 5 days in the office. But...

Feels like we’re a couple of posts from a section of the forum insisting the earth is flat

FFS, we could be looking at a decent chunk of the season without Wright or Dovin. Will need to make two signings, and likely spend a fair chunk of the budget, just to cover injuries.

the agenda is accessibility for people who are colour blind https://www.reuters.com/article/fact-check/british-weather-maps-have-changed-for-better-accessibility-idUSL1N2Z30KX/ https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-62505711

Not convinced a Gove & Cummings orchestrated redemption arc for themselves is adding much benefit. After all they were both in government for many years when recommendations from previous inquiries were ignored. Is there much here in terms of new information? We know all about Rotherham Council...

The problem here is that we're now so fucked there's not a short term fix. If the government came out tomorrow and said we've put the funding in place for the required number of police, teachers, doctors etc to be trained you've still got to both find people who want to go through that training...

When people thrown stuff like this out I'm always intrigued as to how the people they know doing this are getting so much money. There was a point when I thought I might lose my job post-covid. I looked into how much I would receive in benefits and it was basically fuck all, nowhere near enough...

get with the program, Doug hates kids

Students can get a 2 year post student work visa fairly easily but the years spent as a student don't count towards the 5 years needed for indefinite leave to remain. Technically if you been in the country for 10 years continuously, even on multiple study visas, without spending more than about...

Non EU makes up over 80% and there's a breakdown on the ONS site, I'm curious how we can look to get the levels down without shooting ourselves in the foot? The university sector is already warning multiple universities are on the verge of bankruptcy due to lower overseas student numbers...

If you look on the ticketing site you can see what's left and get some idea of how likely he is to get what he wants https://www.eticketing.co.uk/ccfc/EDP/Season/Index/1038
