    That's the problem. All these rule changes still cannot drag back the gap the front runners have on the pack. Competitive racing in the midfield doesn't compensate for runaway winners. For years it was Mercedes now it's Red Bull. Ferrari don't count because it's not a good car if it can't...

    Heat

    compost piles can self-combust in hot weather. Centre of pile gets too hot and the dry outsides can start to smoulder. Piles of dry grass the same risk

    Love those who think the "birds aren't real" one - don't realize it's actually a parody taking the piss out of them

    Heat

    Here we close the curtains on the windows directly facing the sun (south facing) and leave some windows/back door open. Here when it's 35+ outside but house stays pretty cool at around 20.

    He's right. Then ECB exacerbate by expecting England players to push the Hundred as well. It's likely 50 over cricket will suffer as the domestic competition been relegated to the bottom of the pile. Last year a lot of kids and 2nd XI players were used as it was run alongside the Hundred. The...

    Heat

    Nope. Got a few large portable fans we use when it gets too bad but been here so many years just got used to the heat. Work around it where possible. House is a 3 storey job so not ideal for domestic a/c. This year is a bit of a one-off as not usually this many rain-free days which usually break...

    New TV contract so ECB committed despite knock-on effects on other forms. If it was a good idea someone else would have copied it by now.

    Fuel crisis biting here now. Govt announced yesterday from August 1st any usage of electric and gas above supposed average consumption will be charged at 6.8x for electric and 9x for gas (per unit). Winter going to be key to how long govts will be able to support Ukraine with public opinion on...

    Not just cricket. Sister has a food contract at several racecourses and says boozy brawls becoming commonplace at horse racing.

    Been watching Test cricket a long time never seen anything like this in England. 4th innings are supposed nervy chases of 200 not comfortable chases of huge scores.

    America

    We will see come midterms. Democratic party never had a larger progressive faction (in modern times). Democrats now battling themselves as moderates take on progressives in the primaries for key midterm elections. Progressives convinced their left wing brand is what the people want - election...

    America

    A country where the 2 extremes make the most noise and noise seems to equal influence. If there was ever a time for a 3rd centrist party it's now. Silent majority getting swamped and ignored.

    America

    Senate already blocked Biden's attempt to protect abortion rights under federal law. Any big moves on guns will turned over by this Supreme Court. They are taking a literal interpretation of the constitution.

    America

    US can't claim any moral supremacy over authoritarian states which also have politically motivated supreme courts. False pride in a system of checks and balances that has been eroded through politicisation of its judiciary. Makes their scorn/condemnation of other religious states seem facile...

    Slowly strangling cricket. They say 20/20 is too long then put on 2 Hundred games as a double header!!!! 20/20 is suffering because they can't big name players due to the world cricket calender. So they put up the Hundred which suffers the same fate. Hundred also basically killed the 50 over...
