  1. In news that will Shock absolutely no-one, Hat Mancock caught lying #1325763 Indy
  2. It took me all of ten seconds to find this... Notts Live EDIT: One might suggest that Lee Anderson MP is nothing more than a tinpot racist word removed
  3. We already have 14% of that for 0 but you're still safe until the score reaches 80
  4. Surely they'll declare now it's lunch. 271 in 2 sessions is next to impossible but just enough to entice ENgland to attempt it. If they don't declare, they have no desire to win the match. If I was NZ I'd have decalred half an hour ago
  5. as if to prove your point BBC Cricket
  6. He's a QC not an ambulance chaser. It will not affect him in the slightest. Barristers very rarely, if ever get involved in minor RTI claims. If a QC does get involved, the case will be well above the £5k threshold involved here, by a factor of about a hundred What you're saying is akin to poining out that Gordon Ramsey is involved in the hospitality industry when he's pointing out that a law affecting kebabs shops is wrong
  7. There was an antivax nurse struck off the register in the UK this week
  8. OCS - Memory of a Cut Off Head. John Dwyers (currently) last album with Bidgit Dawson. Much more pastoral than any Oh Sees output
  9. I seem to have settled into this becoming my standard beer in the fridge, mainly due to a 4 pack being £6:50 in the supermarket and it's a Hazy PA that tastes predominantly of beer, yes it's a bit fruity but not in a sharp angular wtf was that way Northen Monk - Faith Last nigt I also tried this which has just appeared in the supermarket in a summer revamp of lines. The Wild Beer Co (Who I like) - Everstone a Hazy New Zealand IPA (New Zealand Hops). It was very drinkable much in the same was as the above one, the fruit flavours are not totally in your face and you know you're drinking beer
  10. I think it was said by someone far more knowledgeable than I (on TMS) that they sacrificed spin because the batting lineup was very weak
  11. I didn't say anything about foreign travel, I was countering your point that "by and large the country is vaccinated", when it actually isn't
  12. It actually isn't, we only passed 50% of the adult population fully vaccinated this last week or the week before And thats fully vaccinated at two jabs, not two jabs and a further three weeks No younger people are much more susceptible to Long Covid, of which there are currently 400,000 suffers in the UK and many of those have been suffering for over a year
  13. But they havent changed the cover to the less offensive still offensive name
  14. 27% of the country's homes are currently able to access 1 gigabit fibre but thats combined between cable and Openreach (about 1:7 ratio in Open Reach's favour) but like Pete said, the current speed of the rollout may slow considerably when 5G is fully deployed That also doesn't take into account the other percentage of homes on slower but still fast broadband connections
  15. My internet does not touch the BT Openreach Fibre network before you even get involved in the fact that a multitude of providors can access that network and charge you what they deem to be a competitive yet profitable charge. There are many rural microwave links now. there's the mobile phone networks. The idea that Broadband is a natural monopoly is daft. Multiples of networks, many more providers. It just isn't My mate runs a company from his office in the garden providing Internet far cheaper than any of the big players through the Openreach Fibre network I'm on cable in a village that has one shop and one pub and is surrounded by sea and fields At work we use mobile phone sims in mini-routers for our staff to work from home (and that isn't that expensive at all)
  16. This is still the case unless your house has a water meter. You cant be forced to have a meter but once you have one you cant get rid of it. Not that it adds to any side of that debate but I thought I'd just point it out
  17. Well it's an opinion, it's not a very valid one given the weight of evidence on the other side but carry on with the propaganda, people will just take it face value for what it is
  18. In the currently hottly contested politicial incompetence olympics, she's in the UK team in an usually large number of events and could get medals in all of them
  19. Do you have any knowledge of Liz Truss? I'm shocked she hasn't claimed it's excellent news for UK Pineapple farmers
  20. I've been using that as coined by you but it's Pride month so I thought I'd.... be proud of my drinking habits
