Port Said Red

I didn't see the report, but unless there has been a dramatic change the tipping point was predicted by a report in 2008 to be in around 150 years. I am sure it will change again anyway, if you go to the Natural History museum they have an exhibit about the changing shape of Britain of the years (the Thames ran through where Norwich is now at one time!}, at different times it shows no Bristol Channel at all and at other times Glastonbury Tor as an island in the Somerset Levels. I know we saw bad flooding in the levels in recent times, but this was for a 1000 year period less than 5000 years ago.

If War Should Come - Public Service Broadcasting

If anyone mentored by Scott Fitzgerald went backwards in their career, would they get the nickname Benjamin or Button?

The way the Post are playing this up I thought they had actually signed someone, but no they have just kept him on board https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/bristol-rovers-antony-evans-contract-7207536

Money - The Flying Lizards

Not working for Qatar though, he is working for FIFA in Qatar, which admittedly opens a whole different can of worms. But then we are all slighted tainted by FIFA and their dubious morals just be following football. Maybe he thinks the way that some famous sports people and celebrities have felt about other countries like South Africa, that one way of changing things is to mix with and show them a different way? It's not really an approach I agree with, but I know that there are many who do. I also suspect that Downsy may not have had your respect before anyway.

Well he's in good company there, he didn't choose for the WC to be there and he hasn't had any influence on any of the countries who have agreed to attend. Bit much suggesting he is only one with no principles

I made the mistake of suggesting that about another show on another forum and got shot down. Apparently it's easier to access than you might think.

It's a point of view that I can share, but maybe he's not very political and sees it as a once in a lifetime career opportunity?

From what he said to me last time I spoke to him, I imagine he avoids this place like the plague. He knows the consensus of opinion of those who shout loudest on here.

I agree with you Kid. I think the Captain and the Coach have decided to take the rough with the smooth with him. Personally I think it's a bit like an out of form star striker in football, the only place they can't score from is the sidelines. If you want "match winner YJB" then you have to put up with getting "out for 10 3rd ball YJB" as well.

That was what I find when I used to go to the Bournemouth area with work, it's such a sprawl. The list of places that are within the area of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole is almost as big as those that make up London. Working out where one starts and another finishes is equally difficult too. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_areas_in_Bournemouth,_Christchurch_and_Poole

Did they say it was the first time a team have conceded 550 or more in the first innings and won? There were so many other records being related, I wasn't sure if that was one of them.

Stokes says "remember me?"

Do teams not use runners anymore?

Machismo - Gomez

I do like Private Eye's ability to turn a story on it's head.

They must have been otherwise engaged because they seem to be everywhere lately, they were at Upfest and Love is all Around.

Not in the short term, but a spread of the risk on the football side might allow SL to push on with the ground development which in turn will increase revenues.

Oh Jimmy Jimmy.

I don't think they cared much this morning, 15 ahead or 15 behind is neither here nor there, the important thing was getting Jimmy on in cloudy conditions.

Cloudbusting - Kate Bush

Glos get their first 5 batting points of the season. Kent's YouTube coverage is even worse than Glos's by the way, you can't see the ball once it leaves the wicket.

Well done Downsy, hope it goes well for him. I always think it's strange that the demographic of this board think his role is aimed at them when it's clearly not. I think anyone trying to entertain people ranged from 5 to 105 are always going to find certain groups difficult to please.
