Morally and financially bankrupt? Destroying local community assets? Annoying the **** out of everyone? Bloody hell, it's Kerry Packer's World Series Cricket, as i live and breathe!

Game slightly less on ... Shame Dharamsala won't host the series decider. I suspect the attendances will be very low, undeserving of the beauty of the ground. Bit of a shit-show really Only highlights for me were Pope's 196, Hartley's 7 wicket haul and Root's 122 in this Test. Everything else...

Vaughan says no-one is accusing anyone of cheating, while requesting cameras to let people see the DRS decisions being made (thereby accusing the third umpires of cheating). We have had the benefit of more dodgy "umpire's call" decisions in this Test than India have.

161-5 with Bashir getting 4 so far, including Jaiswal latest for 73. Now into the lower order. Could be looking at a 100 lead on the first innings, which would be some comeback after yesterday's disastrous first session.

I have a colleague who looks at his watch whenever we discuss anything to do with time (meetings, visitors, etc). Me: When can we fit that in, Chris? Chris: (looks at watch) Maybe the 29th? Always makes me chuckle (inwardly). He also drives a Tesla.

Doesn't matter how long she takes, i'm guessing she will still have stuff stacked every which way, with a wooden spoon or something to stop the spray arms rotating and you'll have to redo it all in the morning!

Mea culpa!

Superb innings by Root in the 4th Test today - 106 not out to take England form 112-5 at lunch to 302-7 at the close. He played proper, old-fashioned five-day cricket when we needed it. Shows it can (and should, from time to time) be done. Slowest stand of 50+ since McCullum took over. If he had...

This thread was going a whole lot better before it descended into playground bickering about individuals' voting habits (which are frankly nobody's business but their own). You have taken it to the same gutter level as the parliamentary numpties we are supposed to be discussing. Please can we...

A bit longer than that, FP - the pandemic preparedness review was conducted under Brown's government and achieved precisely fuck-all, as we have seen in the past 4 years.

Thanks Terry! GP has now given her a salbutamol inhaler with a face mask attachment. May help, but he admitted he doesn't know what is going on! One thing that may be a coincidence is that the GP started her on blood pressure medication about the same time the cough started. He says that...

Can't see Robins' history making him popular with their feeble-minded fan-base either!

Wife update - the "very strong" antibiotics (clarithromycin), normally used to treat pneumonia, have done fuck-all, despite her being on the highest dose for a week. Unless she has TB or the plague, it ain't bacterial! Her coughing is tiring ME out listening to it; she must be exhausted!

They were mad to get rid of Mowbray Number of shits given?? Big fat zero!

We're in Evesham, Chief - but thanks for taking the time to reply

Missus got the "urgent" x-ray appointment through - 7th March! Brilliant!

I'd be in favour of fines but not giving them points.

I agree - polling companies rarely seem to use methods which capture the whole population (especially the older, perhaps Tory-biased people) because they focus on online polling. It's like asking us to believe that the views (on pretty much any subject you care to mention) expressed on social...

I take your point. I don't quite understand why the Tories have given up fielding electable candidates in some of their heartlands. This Bone-lite woman is one case, but another was in the Mid Beds constituency vacated by the lunatic Dorries - they decided to put their weight behind the guy who...

That was sort of the point i was trying to make. Trust an academic expert in election statistics to put it better than a tired biosafety specialist!!
